Pediatric Care

We see children of all ages at Complete Dental Care. Children can be quite impatient so we strive to keep appointments under 30 minutes if x-rays are not required.

Our friendly staff will do their best to make your child feel as comfortable as possible. They know how to talk to children. We also allow parents into the operatories if that would help the child relax and enjoy their treatment. We offer toys to children at the end of an appointment to ensure a thoroughly pleasurable experience.

Pediatric dentistry is important to protect your child’s teeth especially while they are susceptible to over-consuming sugary food and drink. We offer a full array of general dentistry procedures for your child to help ensure their continued good health. We are a friendly practice and we will give high-level priority to your kids

Our pediatric services include:

Sealants

During the early years, children often find it difficult to brush their teeth effectively, as their attention spans and lack of skill usually result in missed spots. This can become an even more serious problem when their molars come in, which are both extremely vulnerable to decay due to their chewing use and difficult for little hands to reach. Thankfully, sealants can be used to add an extra layer of protection. Sealants are painted right onto the tooth with the help of an adhesive, and they serve as a layer between the tooth’s surface and any outside particles of food, bacteria, or plaque. They typically last for twelve years, and our team can reapply them if necessary.

Mouthguards

If your child plays football, hockey, basketball, wrestling, or any other sport where contact of some kind is a constant possibility, a mouthguard can help protect their mouth from injury and structural damage. In fact, studies have shown that the use of one can even reduce the severity of concussions. Instead of buying a one-size-fits-all piece at your local sporting goods store, our team strongly recommends visiting our Kent office and having one custom-made. This will ensure that your child will be able to breathe easily and feel comfortable as they’re enjoying the sport they love.
