Regular dental exams and cleanings allow Dr. Shah to catch early signs of dental problems and can determine if there may be potential for future issues that may affect your child’s bite or tooth alignment. From there she can properly treat them and educate your child to help them build good dental habits that will last a lifetime.
Think of a tooth’s top (chewing) surface as mountains with many grooves. When your child eats, food gets caught in those grooves. Although daily brushing is essential, applying a dental sealant will enhance the ability to keep those hard-to-reach areas clean. A dental sealant flows into the grooves, “sealing” the tooth and reducing the probability of cavities.
Radiographs (or X-Rays) are an essential part of our diagnostic protocol. Without them, dental conditions may go undetected. Dental X-Rays detect much more than dental cavities, and they allow the dentist to evaluate growth and development, bone health, pathology, and trauma. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we use the latest dental X-ray technology with very minimal exposure.

At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we offer dietary counseling to help better assess your child’s dental health and diet and recommend ways to improve it. More often than not the changes we suggest are simple and easy to implement into your child’s current diet. While these changes may seem small they can often make a tremendous difference to your child’s dental health.
