At Lovett Dental Piney Point, we want to help your little one develop good dental health habits early on. Our pediatric dentistry specialists and our friendly team at our family dental practice love each little smile that comes through our door, and it’s our goal to create a fun, educational, and comforting experience that positively affects the way your child feels about visiting the dentist.

It is always our goal to create healthy, happy smiles for each and every patient we see. We believe that a healthy mouth leads to a healthy body and a healthy life!

Pediatric dentists are specialists in treating the unique needs of children. Our pediatric dental specialists have completed several years of specialty training beyond dental school. They limit their practice to treating infants and children’s oral health needs through adolescence, including those with special health needs.

Children have special dental needs, from birth through their late teen years. These special needs require the expert care of a dentist specializing in children’s oral health and development. Pediatric dentistry at Lovett Dental Piney Point provides this specialized treatment, ensuring your child’s best chance for an attractive, confident smile.

Pediatric Services We Offer for Your Child

Your family dentist offers individualized treatment for children of all ages. We can help you prepare your child to form good hygiene habits that last a lifetime. Some of the services that we offer for your child include:

Oral Exams

Your child’s first oral exam may occur within their first year as their teeth come in. Oral exams include assessing your child’s teeth for any development problems, cavities, or other issues. We recommend scheduling an oral exam every six months to ensure your child’s teeth are coming in as they should.

We recommend scheduling an oral exam every six months to ensure your child’s teeth are coming in as they should.

Teeth Cleaning

Regular teeth cleaning can help establish strong, healthy teeth at a young age. Part of family dentistry is performing gentle cleanings to prevent cavities or gum disease from developing along the teeth and gum line. Although your child’s first teeth will eventually fall out, cavities and gum disease can affect the gums as much as your teeth. So, don’t wait to schedule an appointment for your child or children until after their permanent teeth come in.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments should be a regular part of pediatric dentistry. It helps prevent tooth decay by reinforcing the enamel. Your tooth will be more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments are most critical between the age of 6 months and 16 years.

Restorative Dental Work

Pediatric dentistry can contribute to your child’s long-term dental health by addressing more serious issues as they happen. We provide restorative dental work for children, such as dental crowns and implants, cavity fillings, extractions, and space maintainers. Children’s dentistry can also perform more extensive surgical care, if necessary.

Orthodontic Services (Braces)

As your child grows older, pediatric dentistry will become more important. Contacting your dentist is crucial if you notice that your child’s jaws or teeth are not developing as they should.

Lovett Dental Piney Point offers orthodontic services to help correct any development issues with the teeth or jawbone. We may recommend braces as a long-term solution for your child. There are several benefits to braces for your child:

  • Promote a healthy, functional bite
  • Help align the position of the teeth and jawbone
  • Avoid any future problems during adulthood
  • Bring about an attractive smile (as well as self-confidence)
  • Allow your child to chew foods that would otherwise be difficult

While braces are always uncomfortable at first, your child will get used to wearing them. They will also love how their teeth look when we take the braces off. Braces are a long-term investment in the oral health of your child.
