Park View Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

One of the reasons that children ­­fear the dentist is the sight, sound, or feeling of dental instruments. This fear can cause children to dread oral surgery, simple cleanups, or dental visits altogether. At Park View Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics we believe in making your child’s dental experience as fear-free and as pain-free as possible, offering the latest technologies in dental care to help minimize pain sometimes felt during traditional dental procedures.

Before your child’s teeth erupt, gently clean their gums with a soft, wet cloth. When the teeth begin to emerge, use a soft-bristled, ADA-approved toothbrush. For children under age two, use a small smear of toothpaste. We can answer any questions you might have!

Don't toss the floss! Make flossing a part of your child’s daily routine for optimal tooth and gum health!

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours!

We understand keeping your child cavity-free can be difficult at times! That’s why we want you to lean on us for regular teeth cleanings.

Dental braces are an orthodontic treatment that straightens your child’s teeth using brackets bonded to each tooth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. Patients can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of their orthodontic appliances.

A dental extraction, commonly known as getting a tooth pulled, is one of the most common procedures performed at a dentist’s office. At Park View Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we take a preventative approach to dental care, through which we strive to prevent the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental problems that might require pediatric tooth extractions. While our board-certified dentists will always make an effort to treat your child’s condition and avoid pediatric tooth extraction, this is not always possible. Visit our website to learn more.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious oral health problem that can cause inflammation, tooth loss, and even bone damage. Children can develop gingivitis (an early form of periodontal disease) from too much plaque, but developing periodontal disease is less common. Gum disease begins with a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. Gums in the early stage of periodontal disease, or gingivitis, can bleed easily and become red and swollen. Gum disease is highly preventable and can usually be avoided by daily brushing and flossing.

Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay in patients of all ages. It is found in water sources, certain foods (e.g. meat, fish, and eggs), and in toothpaste, oral rinses, and professional treatments from your dentist. Sufficient fluoride treatment for kids is important during childhood years to ensure extra protection against cavities in developing teeth.
