Pediatric Dental Conditions :
Alegria Health & Wellness Center provides pediatric dentistry services, offering a wide range of services aimed at addressing the oral health needs of children.
Dental Examinations: Routine dental check-ups are essential for monitoring a child's oral health, identifying potential issues early, and providing preventive care.
Cleanings and Prophylaxis: Professional teeth cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Dental hygienists often perform cleanings during regular check-ups.
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Pediatric dentists may apply fluoride topically to children's teeth during routine visits.
Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent the accumulation of food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities.
Orthodontic Evaluation: Pediatric dentists assess the alignment and development of the teeth and jaws. Referrals for orthodontic treatment may be made if alignment issues are identified.
X-rays and Imaging: Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, helps dentists visualize the internal structures of teeth and identify issues not visible during a regular examination.
Cavity Detection and Treatment: Early detection of cavities is crucial. Pediatric dentists use various methods, including visual inspection and X-rays, to identify cavities and provide appropriate treatment such as dental fillings.
Pulpal Therapy (Pulpotomy/Pulpectomy): Treatment of dental pulp (inner part of the tooth) for decayed or infected baby teeth, involving procedures like pulpotomy (partial removal) or pulpectomy (complete removal).
Behavior Management: Pediatric dentists use child-friendly approaches and behavior management techniques to create a positive dental experience, especially for children with dental anxiety.
Emergency Dental Care: Pediatric dentists are equipped to handle dental emergencies in children, such as tooth fractures, dental trauma, and infections.
Oral Health Education: Education for both parents and children on proper oral hygiene practices, diet, and habits to maintain good oral health.
Space Maintenance: In cases where baby teeth are lost prematurely, pediatric dentists may provide space maintainers to prevent shifting of adjacent teeth and ensure proper development of permanent teeth.
