Kids’ Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Children can have a greater chance of growing up with healthier, cavity-free smiles when they see our dentists for regular six-month dental checkups and cleanings. Recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a child should have their first visit by the time they reach the age of one. Our team will perform thorough examinations, teeth cleanings, and provide helpful tips for better at-home dental care. All the while, children can watch an overhead TV to ensure comfort and distraction throughout their visit.
Dental Sealants
As children grow, they must learn how to properly care for their teeth, which means cleaning the most hard-to-reach areas, including their molars and premolars. With dental sealants, we can better protect these teeth while brushing skills continue to improve. Consisting of many pits and grooves, molars can easily trap bacteria and food particles, causing cavities to form. However, with dental sealants, the biocompatible material we use will offer a protective barrier that can last nearly a decade.
Mouthguards/Sportsguards
If you have a child or teenager who enjoys playing sports, make sure their pearly whites remain properly safeguarded with a custom mouthguard. Just like helmets, shin guards, and knee pads offer protection in other ways, this oral appliance prevents unexpected dental injuries that can lead to an emergency visit. Instead of dealing with cracked, broken, or knocked-out teeth during a game, your child can continue to play while wearing a comfortable mouthguard designed for their smile.
Lip & Tongue Ties
When a child’s lip or tongue is restricted, it cannot obtain full oral function. Instead, it can cause them to experience difficulty eating, breathing, and speaking, and it can hinder their oral health and self-esteem. Fortunately, our Bionica Dental Wellness doctors can administer what is known as a frenectomy, releasing the tissue to create greater oral movement. Before the procedure, we can provide compassionate numbing with the help of a Sleeper 1 device. It numbs the affected area more gently and minimizes post-operative swelling. If necessary, we can also provide your child with nitrous oxide to help keep them calm throughout the procedure.

Home Oral Hygiene Instructions
While our team is here to provide top-tier in-house treatment to your family’s youngest smiles, we also offer feedback and tips to ensure good oral hygiene is being practiced at home. Whether it’s learning which products to use that are most effective for smaller smiles or techniques to help ensure brushing and flossing are being done correctly, we’re here to make sure their growing teeth, gums, and bite remain healthy year-round.
