Pediatric Dentistry

Serving Lakewood, Aurora, Centennial, Denver & Thornton, CO

Taking care of teeth is one important aspect of keeping yourself healthy. Dentists will always share the same basic advice for maintaining your teeth’s excellent health and appearance: Brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent tooth decay, pay a visit to your dentist at least twice a year, avoid using your teeth for opening or tearing things, steer clear of foods and beverages that can cause stains. Can you see we have a passion for healthy teeth?

Dental care for children, however, will be relatively different. Your trusted family dentist can explain how extra assistance and attention are required in looking after your kids’ teeth. Visiting the dental clinic — not to mention having to sit still in a chair while someone peers inside their mouth and uses different tools — can be a strange and even frightening experience for them, so it helps to find a professional who can expertly meet the needs of your whole family.

A trained and highly skilled dentist knows exactly how to put young patients at ease and make each visit to the clinic a positive one.

What does pediatric dentistry include?

Pediatric Dentistry includes anticipatory guidance, understanding how children grow and develop and how those changes affect their mouth, head and body. Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty in and of itself that requires 2-3 years of additional training to be able to understand and help young patients maintain their oral health. Sealants, fluoride and other regimens are used to help children grow and develop as they should enabling them to have a healthy start to a long life of oral care.
What are the common issues of dental health in children?

Many of a kid’s dental problems are the same ones affecting adults, but as children’s teeth are still developing, untreated dental conditions can cause poor and misaligned tooth development, leading to a more serious problem as a child grows up.

Some of the most common issues with children are:
- Tooth decay
- Bad breath
- Sensitive teeth
- Thumb-sucking
- Gum disease
- Teeth grinding
- Canker sores
- Baby teeth-loss
- Over-retained primary teeth
- Dental Anxiety
What makes Grin Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics different?

We provide a warm, fun, and friendly environment that will help your children relax and feel more receptive to the examinations and treatments.

We encourage parents and family members to be with their children and interact with them throughout the treatment to further strengthen the kids’ feeling of safety and security.

Our staff will carefully go through the dental evaluation and the available and recommended treatment options with the parents so that they can arrive at a fully informed decision.

Teaching children about good dental care habits can help lay down a firm foundation for excellent dental self-care as they grow older and throughout the rest of their life. This is why choosing the right dentist is important.
