At Pediatric Dentistry of San Angelo, we specialize in pediatric dentistry, a field dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years.
Our skilled team is equipped to handle the unique dental needs of children, offering a comforting environment and gentle care.
Why Pediatric
Dentistry is Essential
Specialized Care for Developing Teeth
Children have specific dental needs that change as they grow. Pediatric dentists are uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive care that encourages healthy oral development and instills positive dental habits early on. Our office is designed to be a welcoming space for children, making dental visits a fun and educational experience.
Our Pediatric Dental Services
We provide a complete range of dental services tailored to meet the specific needs of children, ensuring their dental experience is positive and fear-free.
Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative dentistry services are foundational to maintaining healthy smiles. Regular check-ups, professional teeth cleanings, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments work together to prevent cavities and dental diseases. Each visit includes parent education on proper home care to extend the benefits of our treatments.
Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings are fundamental to maintaining oral health. By removing plaque and tartar buildup, we prevent the development of cavities and periodontal disease, ensuring your child's teeth and gums remain healthy.
Dental X-rays
Dental X-rays are a crucial part of preventative dental care, providing valuable information that we cannot see with the naked eye. This includes the position of growing teeth, the health of the jaw bone, and the deep health of the tooth structure.
Dental Impressions
Our dental impressions help in creating accurate models of your child’s teeth. These models are essential for planning future dental treatments, such as orthodontics, and for creating mouth guards and other appliances that protect your child’s oral health.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth to prevent decay. They are especially beneficial for molars and are a quick, painless way to prevent the most common childhood dental disease – cavities.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments strengthen the teeth and prevent decay. This treatment is particularly important for children as it helps develop stronger teeth that are more resistant to acids and harmful bacteria.
Space Maintainers
If your child loses a tooth prematurely, a space maintainer can be used to hold the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. This is crucial in preventing future orthodontic problems by ensuring the correct alignment of teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative treatments are vital for repairing teeth affected by decay or injury. We offer tooth-colored fillings, durable crowns tailored for children, and gentle pulpotomies. Our restorative services not only improve oral health but also restore confidence in young smiles.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is extensively decayed or damaged, a dental crown may be necessary to cover and protect it. We provide crowns that are designed to look natural and withstand the typical demands of children's activities, helping preserve the tooth's structure and preventing further damage.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments. They are used to repair cavities and restore the tooth's integrity after decay removal. Our pediatric dentists use materials that are safe for children and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring fillings blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth.
Pulpotomies
A pulpotomy, often referred to as a "baby tooth root canal," is used to treat dental pulp that has been infected due to cavities or trauma. This procedure helps save the tooth and alleviate pain, allowing the natural tooth to remain in place until it's ready to fall out naturally.
Tooth Extractions
In some cases, a tooth may need to be extracted to preserve or improve the overall oral health of a child. Whether due to severe decay, infection, or orthodontic reasons, our team performs extractions with a focus on minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.
