Preventive and General Dentistry at Alamo Ranch Children’s Dentistry & Braces

Regular dental cleanings and exams are crucial for maintaining oral health. During these visits, our team thoroughly cleans the teeth, removing plaque and tartar build-up that can lead to cavities and gum disease. We also perform comprehensive exams to detect any early signs of dental issues, allowing for timely intervention.

When cavities occur, dental fillings are necessary to restore the tooth's structure and function. We use safe, durable materials to fill cavities, ensuring the longevity of the repair while maintaining a natural appearance. Our approach to fillings is gentle and designed to minimize discomfort for our young patients.

Dental sealants are a highly effective preventive measure, particularly for young children. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. Sealants create a barrier that keeps out food particles and bacteria, significantly reducing the risk of tooth decay.

Fluoride treatments are another essential preventive service that strengthens tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay. We recommend fluoride treatments as part of regular dental visits to help protect your child's teeth and keep their smile healthy.

When it comes to protecting your child’s smile during sports or physical activities, investing in a custom mouthguard is worth every penny. Our expert dental team takes precise impressions of your child’s teeth to create a mouthguard that is tailored to their unique smile. This custom fit ensures maximum comfort, improved speech, and enhanced breathability, allowing your child to focus on their game without any distractions.
