Partial ("Partial Denture" or "Partial Plate")

Does Your Office see Kids?

• Yes, we see kids of all ages

​

When Should I First Bring my Kid to the Dentist?

• We see kids as young as 18 months (or as soon as they have their first tooth), but I would not wait untill any older than 3 for their first dental visit

• We feel that it is important to bring kids to the dentist when they are this young to help them get used to the enviroment. It really helps things go smoother when we need to start doing things like getting x-rays or placing preventative Dental Sealants

​

What Procedures do you do In Your Office for Kids?

• We do almost any procedure on kids including

  • Cleanings​

  • Dental Sealants

  • Tooth Colored Fillings

  • Crowns on Baby Teeth

  • Baby Tooth Root Canals

  • Tooth removal

  • We often use Laughing Gas on younger children

​

Do You Ever Send Kids to a Pediactiac Dentist?

• Yes

• We want every kid to have a great experiance at the dentst, and sometimes that means sending them to a specialist

• I feel like we do really well with kids here, we have done pleanty of fillings on 5 and even 4 year olds, but sometimes kids just need an enviroment that is compleatly taylored to them. 

• The last thing we want is for a kid to have a tramatic experiance and to not want to return to the dentist, sometimes this means that I ask  them to see a sepcialist for their treatment. 

​

When Do I Let My Kid Brush Their Own Teeth?

• Well, the correct question shoud be "When Do I Let My Kid Floss and Brush Their Own Teeth?" but I will let it slide, this once

• Okay, so the answer to the question:

  • Kids can brush and floss all they like at any age. ​ BUT we also need an adult to brush their teeth once a day untill about age 6, and we need and adult to floss their teeth once a day untill about age 8. - It depends on the maturaity of the kids. 

  • One good way to get a kid used to a toothbrush is to give them one as a chew toy as a baby.
