General Dentistry at Swanson Pediatric Dental Center

Our expertise extends beyond specialized pediatric dentistry into the realm of general dentistry. This includes the fundamental practices necessary to maintain oral health throughout your child's development. Services offered include:

• Routine Examinations: Regular check-ups to monitor oral health and prevent issues.
• Cleansing Treatments: Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
• X-Rays: Safe and low-radiation imaging to detect underlying problems not visible during a visual examination.
• Sealants: Application of protective coatings on molars to prevent cavities in hard-to-reach areas.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Children

While aesthetics may not be the primary concern for young children, cosmetic dentistry can play a significant role in developing positive self-esteem and confidence. At the Swanson Pediatric Dental Center, we offer:

• Teeth Whitening: Safe and effective options for older children and teenagers to achieve a brighter smile.
• Veneers: Custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance.
• Bonding: A quick and effective solution to fix chipped or broken teeth.

The Importance of Early Dental Check-Ups

Establishing a dental home for your child should begin at an early age. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday. Early visits can help in several ways:

• Monitoring Development: Regular check-ups allow for the monitoring of dental growth and the timing of the eruption of primary teeth.
• Identifying Issues Early: Early detection of potential dental problems can lead to less invasive treatment options.
• Building Trust: Starting visits early helps children develop a positive relationship with dental care professionals.
