Kid’s Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Just like with adults, in order to maintain a healthy smile, kids should come in for a routine checkup and cleaning starting at the age of one every six months. We’ll take routine diagnostic images, like X-rays, and Dr. Gaddam will examine their teeth and gums in search of any signs of common dental health issues, like cavities. Our dental hygienist will also provide them with a thorough cleaning to keep their smile refreshed and healthy until their next appointment.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a non-invasive preventive treatment that’s excellent at keeping cavities at bay. After your child’s cleaning, all we’ll do is brush a clear liquid over the top of their back molars and cure it using a UV light. This will create a solid covering that prevents food debris, plaque, and tartar from accumulating in the pits and grooves of the teeth, which will help keep decay away as well as make it easier for your child to effectively clean their pearly whites.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Typically utilized on primary (baby) teeth, silver diamine fluoride is a non-invasive method for treating minor decay. The silver diamine acts to stop the cavity and keep it from spreading, while the fluoride helps strengthen the enamel of the tooth in question for additional protection. In some cases, Dr. Gaddam and our team are able to utilize SDF treatment to avoid needing to place a filling!
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Does your child participate in local athletics leagues or on their school’s sports teams? Let them jump, run, and tackle without fearing for their dental health by investing in a customized mouthguard. After taking a quick impression, our team will have a dental laboratory create a cushioning acrylic mouthguard that can help minimize your child’s risk of sustaining jaw and dental damage during their games.
Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment
Utilizing our soft tissue laser, Dr. Gaddam can effortlessly, quickly, and comfortably treat a lip or tongue-tie. These issues occur when the small band of tissue that connects the lips to the gums or the tongue to the floor of the mouth is overgrown or too thick, limiting your child’s ability to nurse, breathe, and speak. A gentle soft tissue laser frenectomy in Fremont cauterizes the soft tissue on contact, minimizing bleeding and discomfort while speeding up your child’s recovery period.
Pulp Treatment
Is your child complaining of a persistent and painful toothache? This could be a sign of an infection that has managed to gain access to the vulnerable inner pulp chamber of the tooth, where its sensitive nerve lies. Dr. Gaddam can remove the infected portion of their pulp and restore their dental structure with a dental crown to cure their pain and preserve their tooth until it falls out on its own.
