Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, our doctors suggest infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to 1 year old.
Our doctors will review proper diet, age-appropriate hygiene, and go over pacifier use to make sure your child’s oral health starts strong and stays strong.
Studies have shown that the earlier a child receives their first dental exam, the less dental treatment was needed during their youth. We recommend oral exams for children when their first tooth erupts.
Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child's teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Our doctor recommends two cleanings a year to maintain optimal oral health.
Pediatric x-rays allow our doctor to get a view of your child's teeth and jaws that they can't see with their eyes, while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum.
Regular fluoride treatments help reduce your child's risk of developing cavities and can remineralize areas where decay is starting. Our doctor believes regular fluoride treatments are an important part of treatment for most children.
Restorative dentistry includes fillings, crowns and other procedures that help restore a tooth to its original function. Leo Dentistry offers many restorative procedures to help your child smile with confidence!
At Leo Dentistry, we explain all procedures so that your child can know what to expect at their appointment. If your child has severe anxiety, we offer sedation options to put them at ease.
Root canals on baby teeth can relieve a child's pain and preserve a tooth until it's ready to come out on its own. Our doctor can help you decide if a baby root canal is right for your child.
Sports mouthguards prevent dental injuries when worn during contact sports or other potentially dangerous activities. A custom-fit mouthguard can save your child's teeth and prevent extensive dental treatment.
Tooth-colored fillings offer a durable, more natural looking option for your child's restorations. Made from composite resin, they are strong, durable, and perfect for smaller teeth.
While we focus on helping your child keep their teeth for a lifetime, sometimes an extraction is necessary. Whether it's extensive decay, overcrowding or an impacted tooth, Dr. can help you and your child understand the procedure and answer any questions you have.
