Treatments
Bitty Bites Pediatric Dentistry provides pediatric, cosmetic and restorative dental services. Please click on our Services tab for more details.
We will conduct a thorough examination during your child's first visit to determine the best course of action to achieve dental health and your child's goals.
We will:
- Take full mouth X-Rays to identify any current problems and to use it as a baseline on future visits to detect early signs of problems.
- Assess gum condition and health.
- Examine teeth for cavities and condition of old dental restorations.
- Perform a head and neck exam, including salivary glands and lymph nodes, for swelling or other abnormalities.
- Screen for oral cancer and TMJ (jaw joint).
- Clean and polish your child's teeth.
Many health conditions are indicated in the mouth and can affect oral health, so your child's medical information is very important in diagnosing issues with your teeth, gums, and mouth.
Fillings can last for many years, but over time they wear down, discolor, crack and sometimes fall out. Early detection of problems with fillings can help your child avoid getting cavities under the filling and causing more serious decay. Let us know if they’re experiencing any pain. We’ll check your child's fillings at every visit to determine if any need to be replaced.
Absolutely. Dental X-Rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools. Many oral conditions occur between teeth or under the gums or bones, undetectable by the human eye, and may have no early signs or symptoms. Left untreated, these conditions can create serious dental and general health problems, including loss of teeth and heart problems. Early detection with X-Rays can make treatment much less painful, faster, and less expensive. The American Dental Association recommends bitewing radiographs ~12 months depending on the patient’s caries risk. We follow the ALARA principle to obtain radiographic information keeping in mind that we want to keep patient’s exposure as low as reasonably achievable
