Comprehensive Preventive Dental Care for Children at Pleasanton Children’s Dentistry & Braces

Ensuring your child receives regular dental check-ups and cleanings is fundamental to preventing dental problems. These visits allow our team to monitor your child's oral health, provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, and offer guidance on proper oral hygiene practices at home.

Dental sealants provide a protective barrier against decay on the biting surfaces of your child's molars, where most cavities in children are found. Fluoride treatments strengthen the enamel on your child's teeth, making them more resistant to cavities. Both are painless ways to protect your child's teeth from decay.

Early orthodontic assessments are a crucial part of preventive care. By evaluating your child's need for orthodontic treatment, including:

• ‍Invisalign
• traditional braces
• clear braces

we can address potential alignment issues before they become more complex.

For children who lose a baby tooth too early, space maintainers are used to hold the space for the permanent tooth. This preventive measure helps avoid crowding and alignment issues as your child's teeth develop.

Preventive dentistry is key to avoiding costly and invasive treatments in the future. By focusing on preventive measures and establishing good oral hygiene habits early, we can help ensure your child enjoys a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
