Pediatric Dentistry Barrington
From the time your child gets their first tooth, you do everything to make sure their smile is protected. You limit their sugar intake, show them how to brush and floss and hope they don’t need extensive dental work. At Hart Dental, we do our part by teaching your child healthy early habits at a young age and helping them enjoy their regular dental checkups.
The many pediatric dentistry services we offer include
- Cleanings
- Early orthodontic treatment
- Examinations
- Fissure sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Smart fillings using silver diamine fluoride
- Curodont cavity treatment
We now offer two options for pediatric crowns. The traditional stainless steel crown and the NuSmile BioFlx white crown. We recommend crowns when baby teeth need a baby root canal, called a pulpotomy or when the filling extends to multiple surfaces, as those fillings tend to get recurrent decay or break very very often.
An Extra Measure of Cavity Protection
It’s well-documented that silver diamine fluoride can prevent cavities and even stop them in their tracks, according to recent research. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the use of silver diamine fluoride to treat active cavities for children, and it can be further used as an alternative to the traditional “drill and fill” approach to cavities. It’s simply applied to the cavity, and the decay will be eliminated.
There’s no reason for a child to feel nervous about their visits when they know they’ll be comfortable and pain-free. If you’ve been searching for a pediatric dentist, contact us today to book a time! We offer Saturday appointments and late opening hours that work around their school schedule.
