Maintaining good oral health is crucial for overall good health, especially for kids. With early exposure to children’s dentistry and the dental treatment environment, kids garner the skills and information needed to maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout their life.
Dr. Raimondo sees children from six months and up. She’s a general dentist experienced in providing preventive care and timely interventions for children’s dentistry issues.
Contact our Main Street Dental team to learn more about the importance of good oral hygiene for kids and why it’s important to take them to a children’s dentist. We provide accurate diagnoses, an array of treatment options, and clear cost estimates for children’s dental needs in McGregor, TX.
Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings for Kids
When you schedule routine dental checkups and cleanings for your child, our primary goal is to make them feel comfortable and relaxed in the dental office. Dr. Raimondo will examine their teeth for any decay or damage.
She’ll explain everything throughout the process and discuss additional treatments your child might need. Your child will also get a professional cleaning from one of our hygienists.
Children's Orthodontics
We recommend that your child have a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation at around age seven. Orthodontic treatment, a crucial part of children’s dentistry, aims to create a healthy, functional bite. When teeth and jaws line up correctly, they function better, create a healthy smile, and promote oral health.
Fluoride Treatments
In cases where a child is prone to tooth decay or deficient in fluoride, Dr. Raimondo may administer fluoride treatment. This safe and common procedure replenishes the fluoride in your child’s teeth for a healthy layer of enamel.
Tooth-colored Fillings
Tooth decay affects more than half the children over six years of age. Failing to address cavities can cause infection, discomfort, and even tooth loss. We use tooth-colored fillings to eliminate the danger of additional damage or complications.
We have nitrous oxide (happy gas) available for young or nervous patients. Contact our Main Street Dental clinic in McGregor, TX, to learn more about children’s dentistry treatment options and receive transparent cost estimates.
Benefits of Children’s Dentistry
Early dental visits play a crucial role in your child’s life, and children’s dentistry offers several benefits:
- Checking for normal tooth development: From your child’s first dental visit, Dr. Raimondo checks that your child’s teeth are growing normally. Correcting developmental problems early on limits the impact on the appearance of your child’s smile.
- Establishing healthy life habits: Children’s dentistry sets the stage for healthy oral health habits. Kids who receive routine dental care early in life are more likely to maintain timely dental treatments as adults.
- Kid-friendly treatments: A dentist experienced in working with children has the technical expertise to treat common childhood dental issues. For example, Dr. Raimondo may apply sealants to discourage the growth of cavities, especially in new molars.
