Space Maintainers
When a child loses a baby tooth too early, other teeth can drift into the space, leading to crowding or bite problems. Space maintainers hold the gap open until the permanent tooth comes in.
Families in Brentwood often schedule space maintainer treatments for kids who lost teeth due to cavities or accidents. Our pediatric dentist explains the process, fits the appliance comfortably, and monitors it until the permanent tooth erupts.
Pediatric Oral Examinations
Regular pediatric oral examinations help catch cavities, gum issues, and early signs of other dental problems. We check teeth, gums, bite, and jaw development in a kid-friendly way.
Parents from neighborhoods like Deer Ridge and Summerset appreciate how thorough our exams are. We explain findings in plain language, so you know exactly what your child needs and how to care for their teeth at home.
Pediatric Dental Cleanings
Pediatric dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar, keeping teeth healthy and gums strong. Kids often enjoy the experience when it’s gentle and explained in fun, simple terms.
Our hygienists teach brushing and flossing techniques kids can follow at home. Regular cleanings also make future dental visits easier, reducing fear and anxiety.
Pediatric Fillings
When cavities appear, pediatric fillings restore the tooth and prevent pain or infection. We use materials and techniques designed for kids, keeping visits comfortable and quick.
Brentwood families often notice cavities forming after holiday sweets or school lunches. Treating them early protects permanent teeth and avoids more invasive procedures later.
Pulp Therapy
If decay reaches the inner part of a tooth, pulp therapy removes the diseased tissue while saving the healthy part. This keeps the tooth functional and pain-free.
Our pediatric dentist explains each step to both parents and children, helping kids feel calm and safe during treatment. Early pulp therapy often prevents the need for more extensive procedures.
Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy
When tooth pulp is infected or damaged, pulpotomy and pulpectomy procedures remove the affected tissue. These treatments stop infection, relieve pain, and preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out or is replaced by a permanent tooth.
Brentwood children sometimes need these treatments after injuries or deep cavities. We make sure each step is gentle, and we explain what parents and kids can expect afterward.
Stainless Steel Crowns
For severely decayed or damaged teeth, stainless steel crowns protect the tooth and restore function. They are durable and effective for children’s teeth.
Parents from Garin Ranch and Rancho San Miguel often choose crowns for molars that need extra protection. Our pediatric dentist ensures crowns fit comfortably and last until permanent teeth emerge.
Frenectomy
Some children have tight or short tissue under the tongue or upper lip that affects speech or feeding. A frenectomy corrects this by gently removing or releasing the tissue.
Families in Brentwood notice improvements in eating, speaking, or comfort after this quick procedure. Our team explains everything before treatment, so both kids and parents feel at ease.
Advanced Restorative Care
When decay or injury goes beyond the surface, we offer specialized treatments to save the natural tooth and alleviate discomfort:
Pulp Therapy: Often referred to as a “baby root canal,” this removes diseased tissue while saving the healthy portion of the tooth.
Pulpotomy & Pulpectomy: These procedures address infected pulp to stop pain and prevent the spread of infection to the jaw or permanent teeth.
