Pediatric Dentistry: Specially Designed for Kids
Our pediatric dental practice subscribes to the philosophy that prevention of disease is less costly and more comfortable for you and your child. Dental health depends upon good habits such as proper tooth brushing and flossing, good diet and nutrition, and regular professional care from a pediatric dentist. We recommend a comprehensive dental examination at least twice a year for most children. At the visit, your child will also receive a dental cleaning, which involves plaque removal, brushing, flossing, and a fluoride application. As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Boraz provides children with services designed for their unique needs, such as dental sealants, athletic mouthguards, and specialty care for teens.
To protect your child’s teeth against future tooth decay, we advocate dental sealants. An excellent and cost-effective preventive measure, dental sealants cover the chewing surfaces of back teeth, creating a barrier against the food and bacteria that cause cavities. With dental sealants, we can safely and effectively give your child a head start against tooth decay.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and Dr. Bob encourage children to wear athletic mouthguards during all contact and leisure sports, like soccer, rollerblading, football, hockey, softball, baseball, basketball, skateboarding, gymnastics, skiing, and snowboarding. Athletic mouthguards will help your sports enthusiast avoid dental and facial injuries, while offering significant protection against concussions and other head injuries. We can create a custom-fitted mouthguard or recommend an over-the-counter product.
Preteens and teenagers have special oral and dental healthcare issues. Increased dental caries (tooth decay) may occur as a result of eating fast foods and sugary, carbonated beverages while neglecting proper oral hygiene. Appearance and self-image are very important issues to teens. Dr. Boraz’s unique understanding of these issues, coupled with our team’s skills in preventive and interceptive care, make our pediatric dentist’s practice the ideal dental provider for the preteens and teenagers in your life.
