Children’s Dentistry

At Ritchie Dental Group, we believe your child’s smile is precious and should receive as much dental attention as your own. The ADA recommends parents begin attending to children’s dental care by age three. Consider bringing your kids with you to your dentist appointments. Beginning at an early age, we can teach them the importance of good oral hygiene and let them know they don’t have to be afraid of the dentist.

Our doctors and our friendly, gentle team love working with children, and we do our best to create a fun learning experience out of your child’s dental treatment. As part of our general family dentistry, we administer children’s dentistry services to ensure your child’s teeth are developing properly, demonstrate effective brushing techniques and routines, and help prevent cavities. We not only evaluate their oral health and help them avoid decay, but we will also teach your children the importance of caring for their teeth on a daily basis.

Dental Sealants and Fluoride Supplements

Some kids may be susceptible to decay on hard-to-reach molars, but these teeth can be protected using dental sealants. Dental sealants are made of a thin plastic film and used to coat decayed teeth that have been filled, prepared, cleaned, and etched. Dental sealants protect your child’s teeth by repelling food particles and cavity-causing bacteria.

Because many families use bottled drinking water in their homes, which lacks fluoride, your children may be deficient in this vital mineral. Fluoride attracts other minerals to help fortify tooth enamel and defend against cavities. Dental sealants and fluoride supplements are easy preventive procedures that can keep your children’s teeth strong and healthy.
