FAQs
What are dental sealants and why does my child need them?
Sealants are safe, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities, especially in areas where toothbrushes have trouble reaching.
How do you handle Tooth Extractions and emergencies?
Tooth extractions are performed gently with local anesthesia and comfort measures. For emergencies like broken teeth or infections, we offer same-day appointments when possible.
What should I do if my child has Gum Inflammation or swollen gums?
Swollen, red, or bleeding gums can be a sign of early gum disease. Schedule a prompt visit for assessment, cleaning, and home care tips to prevent further problems.
