Family Dentistry in Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Pediatric Dental Visits

Before baby teeth even erupt, parents can clean their child’s gums with a damp cloth to remove food debris. When the teeth come in, patients should use an infant toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste to brush the primary teeth.

We recommend that parents bring their children for their first dental visit after their first birthday or six months after their first tooth erupts. Before this appointment, emphasize the excitement of visiting the dentist for the first time. You can even “play dentist” and brush their teeth and gums. This role play will help them prepare for their appointment.

At your child’s first visit, our friendly team will examine their smile and clean their teeth and gums. Making your child’s first visit a fun experience is our goal. Our friendly office staff and dental team want every patient to feel comfortable and welcome when they visit our office.

Dental Sealants and Flouride

We recommend dental sealants and fluoride treatment for slightly older children at routine dental visits. Dental sealants are coatings that we apply to the back molars. They help “seal out” tooth decay. We apply sealants to the molars because they are difficult to clean. Many younger patients can develop cavities in hard-to-reach areas of the smiles.

For fluoride treatment, we paint a highly concentrated fluoride varnish onto the teeth and ask patients to refrain from brushing or eating for 4 to 6 hours. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and protects teeth from decay-causing bacteria.

How to Treat Aging Smiles

Our smiles change over time. As we age, we can experience changes in tooth alignment and brightness. Certain medical conditions or accidents may also lead to tooth loss or decay. However, our cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments can help. We offer Zoom! and KöR teeth whitening treatments to erase years of stains from the smile.

We recommend porcelain veneers or dental bonding treatment for patients with tooth damage or single-stained teeth. Both of these treatments cover imperfections in the smile for a brighter and more uniform look. Dental implants, bridges, and dentures can replace one or more lost permanent teeth. We often recommend implants to secure missing teeth restorations for longer-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results.
