PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
This includes initial as well as periodic oral examinations, cleaning and fluoride treatment, and appropriate X-rays based on your child’s age, development, and individual needs. Along with removing the plaque and calculus (bacteria) from your child’s teeth that can cause cavities and gum disease, applying topical fluoride to make their teeth more resistant to decay, the doctors will perform a thorough oral exam and assess their orthodontic development.
SEALANTS
NITROUS OXIDE/OXYGEN (“LAUGHING GAS”)
Nitrous oxide combined with oxygen is a very safe and effective way to relax a mildly anxious child. It will give your child a sense of well‐being and relaxation. At the end of the dental appointment, your child will breathe pure oxygen which will flush out all of the nitrous oxides and thereby eliminating any side effects.
EXTRACTIONS
Occasionally, the extraction of teeth is indicated as the best treatment choice. If a primary molar is removed prematurely, a space maintainer may be indicated. Some extractions are needed for orthodontic reasons to help facilitate tooth alignment.
SPACE MAINTAINERS
RESTORATIVE TREATMENT (FILLINGS)
This can range from simple tooth-colored fillings to full-coverage stainless steel crowns for back teeth where the tooth is too badly decayed to hold a white filling.
TREATMENT WITH SEDATION
HOSPITAL TREATMENT
Dental treatment can be provided in a hospital setting with the aid of general anesthetic administered by a physician (anesthesiologist). Treatment is performed in a hospital operating room while the patient is completely asleep. An anesthesia gas is given to your child through a breathing tube that will keep them asleep during the procedure. All of their dental treatment needs can be completed in one visit.
Cost
There is substantial variation in the cost of different methods. Additional costs may/are incurred for each specific option as preparing, scheduling, and caring for the special attention your child needs requires significant time, resources, and extra staff to safely and effectively treat your child. Costs will vary depending on your child’s needs and will be discussed with you.
