Children’s Dentistry
As a family-friendly dental practice and team of dedicated dentists, Eagle Family Dental in Arlington, Washington, provides patients with the care they need to achieve oral health and wellness over a lifetime. We have the opportunity to make a difference in children’s dentistry with pediatric dental care services. From cleanings to mouthguards, we have a selection of treatment options for our youth patients to choose from!
How is Eagle Family Dental kid-friendly?
Our practice is dedicated to providing both general dentistry for adults and pediatric dentistry services. We invite your child into our office at the age of six months or when their first tooth erupts, as advised by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Our team loves children and is specially trained to help your child feel at ease during their time in the dentist’s chair. We treat everyone like family, ensuring positive experiences each time patients visit our dental office.
What children’s dentistry services are available at Eagle Family Dental?
- Dental examinations. During routine exams, the dentist checks for signs of tooth decay (cavities), gum disease, and other oral health issues. This may include x-rays to evaluate oral health beyond what the eyes can see.
- Professional teeth cleanings. Regular cleanings are important for maintaining proper oral health in children. Our hygienists will use special tools and instruments to eliminate both plaque and tartar from the teeth and polish them to make them smooth and shiny.
- Fluoride or Nanohydroxyapatite treatments. Fluoride or Nanohyroxyapatite help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent the development of cavities. During a varnish treatment, the dentist will apply a concentrated dose of varnish to your child’s teeth to help protect against cavities.
- Dental sealants. Sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of the rear teeth (molars). They act as a barrier to protect against cavities
- Athletic mouthguards. Children–and adults–who participate in high-contact or high-impact sports or other physical activities should always wear a quality athletic mouthguard to protect their teeth from injury. The dentist can provide custom-fit mouthguards that are more comfortable and effective than store-bought options.
Preventative dentistry is an important aspect of children’s dentistry at Eagle Family Dental. It focuses on maintaining good oral health over time and preventing potential issues before they arise.
