Preventive Dentistry

At Helotes Children’s Dentistry, we believe that prevention is paramount to maintaining optimal oral health. That is why we offer our young patients exceptional preventative dentistry services designed to keep dental disease at bay. We invite you to experience pediatric dental care at its best!

Why Is Preventative Dentistry Important?

The importance of maintaining the health of your child’s baby teeth cannot be overemphasized. Even though these tiny teeth will eventually fall out, you need to make sure they stay healthy. Doing so will safeguard your child’s present and future oral health. Our preventative dentistry treatments start from the very first dental visit. They include regular exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and more. We strive to ensure your baby, toddler, child, teen, or adolescent enjoys optimal oral health for years to come.

 

Why Are Preventative Dental Exams and Cleanings Important?

Routine dental exams and cleanings are critical components of preventative dentistry. They allow us to evaluate tooth development, along with monitoring for signs of dental problems. Detecting any issues early on while they are most treatable will ensure the best possible outcomes, and will avoid the need for involved treatments down the road.

What Are the Benefits of Preventative Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks. It can also help reverse any erosion or demineralization that has already occurred. Dr. Renee uses fluoride as a part of her preventative dentistry practices designed to keep dental decay and cavities at bay and to keep your child’s teeth strong and healthy.

 

What Are the Benefits of Preventative Dental Sealants?

The chewing surfaces of molars and premolars have tiny grooves and crevices, which trap food particles and plaque. Dental sealants provide a protective shield, allowing Dr. Renee, our preventative dentistry specialist, to essentially “seal out” any harmful substances and significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay. With proper care, tooth sealants can protect your child’s teeth for many years.
