Regular Care Guide
You should prepare your child for his or her dental exam. We recommend an early appointment so that he or she is alert and cooperative. This visit will acquaint your child with normal dental checkups, including cleanings. Also, you can discuss your concerns with the dentist.
At Central Coast Pediatric Dental Group, we teach your child the proper brushing and flossing techniques. We look for any signs of problems throughout his or her mouth, including his or her jaw, teeth, gums, and bite. We discuss fluoride as well. When your child’s permanent teeth erupt, we perform x-rays to examine for issues that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Special Pediatric Dentistry Care
Obviously, your child may be anxious about undergoing certain procedures. To help him or her relax, we offer oral conscious sedation. This involves the use of nitrous oxide and an oral medicine. The combination offers the safest amount of relaxation so that he or she remains calm during dental procedures. This treatment is very common, especially with pediatric patients. For convenience, two of our surgical centers offer this option.
Reasons to Receive a Consultation
When you schedule a consultation for your child, we discuss any problems and ways to treat them. The goal is to make sure that you receive information that helps you to weigh all of the possible treatment options.
