Dental Procedures for Kids and Teens

At Dr. Phil The Dentist, we offer dental procedures for kids and teens that support healthy growth, prevent common concerns, and help maintain strong, healthy smiles.

Checkup and Cleaning

We like to see your child for regular check-ups and cleanings (every 4-6 months). During a typical visit with our dentist, we do a thorough exam to assess the health of your child's teeth, gums, and mouth. We may take x-rays to check for cavities, clean and polish their teeth, and apply fluoride for cavity prevention. Before you leave, we will discuss and reinforce proper oral hygiene practice at home.

Dental Fillings

Typically, small cavities, or cavities on their front teeth, are fixed with a white composite filling, and big cavities on their back teeth and molars are fixed with stainless steel caps. Caps are used for larger cavities to help protect teeth from further issues, especially if they are permanent teeth. We recommend cleaning your child's teeth after every snack and meal to prevent the need for a dental filling.

Sports Guards

Does your child play a contact sport? To help protect their teeth, gums, and smile, a custom-fit mouth guard is a great place to start. The mouth guards we provide are form-fitting, comfortable to wear, durable for active lifestyles, and available in a variety of colors to make them more fun for kids. A properly fitted sports guard can also help reduce the risk of dental injuries during games and practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should my child first visit the dentist?

    Children should usually have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears. Early visits help monitor development and introduce your child to the dental clinic in a comfortable way.

  • How often should children visit the dentist?

    Most children benefit from dental checkups every six months. Regular visits allow the dentist to monitor tooth development, provide preventive care, and address any concerns early.

  • What can I do to help prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?

    Encouraging daily brushing and flossing, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and attending regular dental checkups can help protect your child’s teeth from cavities.

  • Are dental x-rays safe for children?

    Dental X-rays are safe and use very low levels of radiation. They help dentists detect concerns such as cavities or developing issues that may not be visible during a routine exam.
