Our Comprehensive Kids Dentistry Services
At Orlando Healthy Smiles, we offer a full range of pediatric dental services to support your child’s oral health from infancy through adolescence. These services include:
1. Infant Oral Exams
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by their first birthday. Early exams allow us to detect potential issues like bottle decay, tongue-tie, or abnormal bite development.
2. Preventive Dental Cleanings & Exams
Routine checkups every six months help maintain oral health. We use gentle cleaning techniques to remove plaque and tartar and teach kids how to brush and floss effectively.
3. Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities. Our safe, in-office fluoride applications are especially important for children who are still learning proper hygiene.
4. Dental Sealants
Thin, protective coatings are applied to molars to prevent bacteria from settling into the grooves. Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80%.
5. Tooth-Colored Fillings
If your child does develop a cavity, we use natural-looking composite fillings that restore the tooth’s function and blend seamlessly with their smile.
6. Space Maintainers
When baby teeth fall out prematurely, space maintainers help preserve room for the permanent tooth to erupt correctly.
7. Pediatric Crowns
For larger cavities or fractured teeth, we offer durable, esthetic crowns made from stainless steel or zirconia.
8. Emergency Dental Care
Accidents happen — and when they do, we’re here to help. We offer same-day emergency dental services for knocked-out teeth, injuries, infections, and severe pain.
Behavior Management and Sedation Options
We understand that some children experience anxiety or have difficulty sitting still during dental visits. Our team at Orlando Healthy Smiles is trained in behavior guidance techniques, including:
-
Tell-Show-Do: Explaining procedures in child-friendly terms before doing them.
-
Positive reinforcement: Encouraging cooperation with praise and rewards.
-
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that helps children relax during treatment.
-
Oral Conscious Sedation: For more anxious or special needs children, we may recommend a safe sedative to ease the experience.
Your child’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always our top priorities.
Education Is Key: Teaching Healthy Habits Early
Good oral hygiene habits start young. At Orlando Healthy Smiles, we educate both children and parents on:
-
Proper brushing and flossing techniques
-
Nutrition guidance to reduce sugary snacks and drinks
-
The importance of routine dental visits
-
Managing teething pain and thumb sucking
By empowering families with knowledge, we help children develop a positive attitude toward dental care that lasts a lifetime.
When Should Your Child Visit the Dentist?
Early and regular visits to the dentist are critical. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should:
-
Visit the dentist by age 1 or within six months of the first tooth
-
Have regular dental checkups every 6 months
-
Receive professional fluoride applications
-
Get dental sealants once molars erupt (typically between ages 6 and 12)
At OrlandoHealthySmiles, we keep track of your child’s growth and development, guiding you through every milestone.
