Pediatric Dentistry | Paso Robles
We believe in dentistry for the whole family, and that includes your smallest family members!
Our office begins seeing children at a young age in order to promote a healthy foundation for great dental health right from the start, and we also work with parents on techniques and education so that they have the tools to succeed when it comes to oral care for their kids.
Your Child’s First Visit
At your child’s first visit, we will help familiarize them with our dental office so they feel completely comfortable. We will show them their teeth in the mirror, take them for a ride in the chair, and brush their teeth. That way, when it is time for their dental cleanings and other regular care to start, everything is familiar.
Preventive Care
We believe great dental health begins with an excellent preventive routine. That is why we work with parents to create a successful home care regimen that includes brushing and flossing, avoiding sugary treats, and eating a good diet to promote healthy teeth and gums.
We complement excellent home care with routine examinations and cleaning appointments. If necessary, we can also offer additional preventive treatments such as fluoride and sealants to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are coatings that are applied to your child’s teeth to prevent decay. If your child is at high risk for decay or has particularly deep grooves in their teeth, we can apply dental sealants to keep food and bacteria from settling in those grooves where brushing and flossing cannot reach.
Dental sealants are less expensive than fillings and completely noninvasive. They can last for up to five years and are easily replaced once they wear off.
"Glenhaven is a place where they treat you like family. Christine and the rest of the staff are so sweet and helpful with my grandkids when they go to their appointment." - Sylvia H.
Gentle Treatments
For most kids, some type of dental treatment eventually becomes necessary.
We are both compassionate and gentle in our approach to treating children. We know how important it is to make sure they are comfortable and do not experience dental anxiety. That is why when we treat children, we speak to them in terms they will understand and let them know what we will be doing. That way, their treatment is more effective and less scary.
If you would like to schedule an appointment for your child, give us a call. We are pleased to serve your entire family and to provide you with excellent, personalized dental care.
