Children's Dental Services Offered by Sobhi Family Dentistry

At Sobhi Family Dentistry, we encourage you to schedule your child's first dental visit by the first birthday to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here's a look at some of the children's dentistry services we offer right here at our Phoenix practice:

Dental Exams and Cleanings: Regular dental exams and cleanings every six months allow us to check for cavities and monitor your little one's oral development. They are the cornerstones of preventive care, preventing the onset or progression of dental disease.
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride treatments have been shown to strengthen your child's tooth enamel and lower the risk of cavities. They can also help reverse early tooth decay by remineralizing the tooth enamel.
Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are placed on the chewing surfaces of your child's permanent premolars and molars, which have numerous grooves and crevices that trap plaque and food particles, increasing the risk of tooth decay. These protective barriers significantly lower the risk of cavities.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: Tooth decay, left untreated, can progress and lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Tooth-colored fillings are closely matched to your child's natural teeth, repairing cavities with seamless results.
Stainless Steel Crowns: If tooth decay or damage is beyond treatment with a filling, we may recommend a stainless steel crown. These pre-made restorations preserve weak or damaged baby teeth until they are ready to fall out naturally.
Space Maintainers: Baby teeth maintain the space needed for the adult teeth to come in, guiding them to the proper alignment. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or damage, we may recommend a space maintainer to preserve the space, ensuring the proper alignment of the adult teeth when it's time for them to come in.
Baby Root Canal Treatments (Pulpotomies): A pulpotomy is designed to treat a tooth with damage that has extended to its inner pulp. It involves removing the diseased pulp tissues, placing a medicated filling to prevent reinfection, sealing the space, and placing a stainless steel crown to preserve the tooth until it is time for it to fall out naturally.

What Are the Benefits of Preventive Dental Care for Children?

Preventive dental care from a young age can lay the groundwork for healthy smiles into adulthood. Here are some of the benefits it offers:

Dental exams and cleanings have been shown to lower the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
Your child's twice-yearly dental exams help reveal and treat problems early on before they become serious and require extensive treatment.
Preventive care prioritizes teaching children how to care for their smiles, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, which helps contribute to long-term dental health.
Becoming familiar with the dentist's office from a young age helps build familiarity and comfort, ensuring future dental appointments are less stressful.
Good oral health in childhood establishes the foundation for healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
