Nurturing healthy smiles in our youngest patients.
Consistent dental care is crucial for children as it establishes the groundwork for a lifetime of excellent oral health. Our team loves working with kids of all ages and is dedicated to making every dental visit a positive and fun experience. At Jubilee Dental, we provide a comprehensive array of pediatric dental services to meet your child’s needs.
Our Children’s Dental Services Include:
- Professional Cleanings
- Sealants & Fillings
- Extractions
- Space Maintainers
- Pulpotomies (Nerve Treatment)
- Stainless Steel Crowns for Children
- Appliances to Discourage Habits (e.g., thumb sucking)
We guide your child’s dental journey from their very first visit, recommended around six months old, and continue through their formative years. During each appointment, we perform thorough exams and cleanings and also demonstrate proper at-home hygiene techniques to ensure their smile stays healthy between visits.
For children who have unique needs or are more susceptible to cavities, we can create customized treatment plans and offer specialized restorative dental services to provide extra protection.
Dental sealants for kids
What Are Dental Sealants?
A sealant is a safe, thin coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have natural pits and grooves that easily trap food particles and plaque bacteria. Since a toothbrush can’t always clean these tiny crevices effectively, they become prone to cavities. Sealants act as a barrier, protecting these vulnerable areas.
When Should My Child Get Sealants?
We suggest applying sealants as soon as your child’s permanent molars appear. The first set typically emerges between ages 5 and 7, and the second set of molars and premolars usually comes in between 11 and 14. Sealants can wear down over time and may need to be reapplied.
How Is the Sealant Procedure Done?
The process is quick, simple, and completely painless. First, our experienced Jubilee Dental team will gently clean and dry the tooth. Next, a special gel is applied to prepare the tooth surface for a strong bond. Finally, the sealant material is painted onto the tooth and cured with a special light, creating a durable protective shield that helps prevent decay.
