A lifetime of oral wellness begins with your child’s dental visit. A pleasant experience promotes healthy habits and makes a positive, lasting impression. We treasure young smiles. Our staff regularly presents education programs at local schools to promote good dental hygiene. In our Dayton office, Drs. Patton, Quinttus, and Budde provide a variety of pediatric dental therapies to defend your child’s smiles from decay and disease.
Bring your child for a visit when they reach three years of age, or before if you notice problems. Children love our fun play area and our enthusiastic, outgoing staff. During your child’s visit, we’ll conduct a gentle exam, checking for proper tooth development, bite alignment, and decay.
If your child needs a filling, we’ll remove decay using a hard-tissue laser instead of a dental drill. This safe, gentle, and effective technology allows us to precisely remove decay while preserving more of your child’s tooth. There’s no heat or vibration as with a traditional dental drill, so there’s often no need for anesthesia. After preparing your child’s tooth, we’ll fill it with composite resin to restore structure and function.
For cavity prevention, we offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments. Sealants are thin, plastic coatings placed on back teeth to protect against decay. If your child drinks unfluoridated, bottled water instead of tap water, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to keep teeth strong and decay-free.
Misaligned bites, a small arch, and crooked permanent teeth benefit from orthodontic therapy. Sometimes early orthodontic care can prevent major problems later in life. We’ll provide referrals to trusted specialists to ensure your children receive the specialized care they deserve.
