Dr. Christina and Dr. Elias want to make sure our patients maintain a healthy smile. That is why routine preventive visits to Saginaw Kids Dentistry are essential. Here are just a few more reasons:
The habits your child learns when they’re young will stay with them as they grow older, so it’s important to teach them good oral health habits early.
Your child will have a dental home at Saginaw Kids Dentistry. They will feel more comfortable and develop lifelong relationships with Dr. Elias, Dr. Christina, and the rest of our team.
With routine visits, you can ensure your child’s mouth is healthy and developing properly, and take action if Dr. Elias or Dr. Christina notice any issues, such as orthodontic problems or oral development.
Routine teeth cleanings and oral exams are essential for your child’s oral health. We recommend that they come to Saginaw Kids Dentistry every six months. Our dental team will gently clean their teeth and take x-rays. Then, Dr. Christina or Dr. Elias will perform a comprehensive exam to make sure your child's teeth, tongue, and gums are strong and healthy.
It's always our goal to keep your child's smile healthy and prevent dental issues before they arise. These simple and easy treatments are recommended as preventive treatments for your child's visit.
Fluoride treatments are a great way to strengthen your child’s teeth, rebuild their enamel, and reduce the risk of tooth decay in the future. Fluoride treatment is typically done as part of a six-month visit. Dr. Elias or Dr. Christina will apply a thin layer of fluoride to your child’s teeth. This strengthens the enamel and helps prevent future cavities.
Dental sealants are made of a layer of thin, transparent resin that can help prevent cavities, so they’re great for kids who struggle with tooth decay. Dental sealants function by stopping oral bacteria, acid, and food particles from directly contacting the rear teeth.
Dr. Elias and Dr. Christina are standing by to provide your little one with expert care.
Dr. Christina and Dr. Elias offer custom-fitted mouthguards to protect your child's dental health. Some reasons Dr. Christina and Dr. Elias may recommend a mouthguard include teeth grinding (bruxism), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), or if your child participates in contact sports. Come visit us and protect your child's teeth at Saginaw Kids Dentistry.
