We Create Healthy Smiles That Last
Preventative Dentistry for Kids West Seattle begins long before a cavity forms. Our practice believes in taking proactive steps to protect your child’s teeth and gums from an early age. Our team takes the time to explain every part of the dental process, so kids feel comfortable and confident. Encouraging regular visits, we help your child grow up without fear of the dentist’s chair.
Our dentists customize each care plan to fit your child’s needs. We teach kids and families how to brush and floss correctly, suggest healthy dietary choices, and provide in-office treatments that strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay.
What Preventative Dentistry for Kids in Seattle Includes
Our preventative services cover a wide range of care designed specifically for children. Every child has unique dental needs, so we personalize our approach during each appointment. Here’s what we typically include:
- Comprehensive oral exams: Our dentists check your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw for early signs of trouble.
- Professional cleanings: When we clean teeth, we remove plaque and tartar buildup, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- Fluoride treatments: These strengthen enamel and make teeth more resistant to cavities.
- Dental sealants: We apply sealants to the grooves of molars to block bacteria and food particles.
- X-rays as needed: Our team uses low-dose digital imaging to spot issues before they become serious.
Our preventative care also includes guidance on thumb sucking, pacifier use, and teething. We give parents practical advice to support their child’s oral development at home.
Prevention is Key
Early dental visits prevent future problems and build lifelong oral health habits. We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting, so our dentists can monitor development and catch issues early. Preventative care helps avoid pain and discomfort and saves families time and money by reducing the need for more complex treatments. Our team creates positive experiences for young patients, using every visit to build trust, confidence, and a strong foundation for a healthy smile.
