Pediatric Dentistry
Gentle, Preventive Dental Visits for Children
Regular dental checkups are key to keeping your child’s teeth healthy as they grow. At Powell Valley Dental, we recommend visits every 4 to 6 months for a thorough exam, cleaning, and fluoride application. We may also take X-rays to check for hidden cavities and reinforce proper brushing habits before you leave.
These visits help prevent tooth decay, track your child’s development, and build positive habits in a comfortable, welcoming setting.
Focused Care for Growing and Active Smiles
Children’s dental needs go beyond cleaning. We provide tooth-colored fillings for small cavities, stainless steel crowns for larger decay, and space maintainers if baby teeth fall out early. If your child plays sports, custom-fit mouthguards offer added protection.
We also understand that some kids need extra support. Our practice provides dental sedation to keep treatment calm and stress-free, along with specialized care for children with physical or sensory challenges.
Complete Services for Kids and Teens
We offer a full range of pediatric dental services in one place
Dental Emergency
Accidents happen, and we are here when they do. If your child has a dental emergency such as tooth pain, trauma, or swelling, contact us right away. We’ll provide fast, compassionate care to relieve discomfort and protect their smile.
Dental Fillings
We use tooth-colored composite fillings to treat small cavities. For larger decay, especially on back teeth, stainless steel crowns may be used to restore strength and prevent further damage.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent cavities. This quick, painless treatment helps keep food and bacteria out of deep grooves where decay often starts.
Dental Sedation
To help ease dental anxiety or assist children with difficulty staying still, we offer safe, in-office dental sedation. This keeps your child calm and allows for smooth, stress-free treatment.
Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer keeps the gap open for the permanent tooth to grow in properly. This helps prevent future alignment issues and crowding.
Sports Guard
A custom-fit sports guard protects your child’s teeth during physical activity and contact sports. Our guards are comfortable, durable, and available in fun colors to match your child’s style.
Checkup and Cleaning
We recommend a dental checkup and cleaning every 4 to 6 months to help your child maintain healthy teeth and gums. Each visit includes a gentle cleaning, cavity check, fluoride application, and personalized oral hygiene guidance.
