Dental procedures among children are often perceived as painful and fearful. But as a parent, you cannot give a blind eye to the dental problems that your child may be suffering from. The little teeth of your little ones must be checked regularly to avoid dental issues. If your child is experiencing any dental issues, please visit our office and consult with our pediatric dentist, Dr. Karen.

Kids dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dental care focused on managing and examining the dental health of children. When you visit our kids dentist in Flanders, you can expect a range of child-friendly procedures and treatments tailored to your little one's needs. Our experienced pediatric dental team in Flanders may perform the following procedures:

‍Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel

‍Fluoride is an effective option in avoiding tooth decay and cavities. Such treatment also helps to prevent the build-up of plaque and keeps the surface of the teeth from hardening. This treatment at our clinic only takes a few minutes to complete. After it, your little one will be asked not to eat, drink, or rinse their mouth for 30 minutes. This time frame allows the teeth to absorb the fluoride properly. 
To maintain optimal dental health, your kid's dentist in Flanders recommends repeating this treatment every three, six, or twelve months, depending on your child's needs. Choosing a conveniently located kids’ dentist near you makes it easy to keep up with your child's dental care routine and ensure their smile stays bright and healthy!

‍Dental Sealants Assessments

‍Merely brushing your teeth is not enough, especially when it comes to the hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. The toothbrush alone doesn't get between the grooves and cracks of the mouth. If left alone, these cracks may develop tooth decay. 

If your little one has developed tooth decay because of this reason, we will recommend and perform a dental sealants procedure. This will provide extra protection and keep cavities at bay. Dental sealants are made using plastic resin and are used to harden and bond the deep grooves of the surface of the teeth. They are usually recommended as a preventive measure against decay.

‍Pediatric Crowns for severely Damaged Teeth

At Rand Center for Dentistry, our expert pediatric dentist, Dr. Karen, specializes in pediatric crowns for severely damaged teeth. These custom-made caps protect and restore your child's tooth when a regular filling isn't sufficient. Dr. Karen uses kid-friendly materials and techniques to ensure a comfortable experience for your little one. Pediatric crowns not only preserve your child's natural tooth structure but also maintain proper spacing for their adult teeth. If your child has a severely decayed or damaged tooth, don't hesitate to visit our pediatric dentist in Flanders for a consultation.

Prophylaxis

Dental prophylaxis or dental cleaning is an in-office treatment that includes cleaning mineralized build-up of the calculus or bacteria-rich plaque. You may consider this procedure for your healthy child twice a year to avoid diseases such as cavities, caries, and the build-up of tartar and plaque and to maintain their overall dental health.

We are happy to assist you in making the first appointment for your child. Call our office to speak with one of our helpful staff members and schedule your child’s visit. We aim to make your child’s experience as comfortable as possible.
