Preventative Dentistry in San Angelo: Ensuring Bright Smiles for Bright Futures

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 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.

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 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 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.

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.
