Preventive Dentistry in Wilton
From routine visits to dental sealants our office believes prevention is the best medicine. Dr. Sebro is a firm believer in promoting health teeth through a combination of in office and home care to yield happy, healthy smiles.
Preventive Dentistry
To keep your child’s teeth healthy as they move from baby teeth to adult teeth, Dr. Sebro may recommend a variety of preventive measures. Along with maintaining routine office visits, these procedures can help stop harmful cavities and other infections from forming, or squash them before they do major damage to your child’s teeth.
Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating placed on your child’s tooth. These protective barriers, paired with a healthy diet and daily brushing and flossing, can make all the difference when it comes to cavities. Children with deeper molar grooves are generally more at risk.
Dr. Sebro will inspect each tooth at every visit, and when your child’s permanent molars have erupted (generally between the ages of 6 and 12), she may recommend a sealant. The procedure is quick, painless, and provides a barrier that will last for years.
Metal Free Composite Fillings
Sometimes despite best efforts children get a cavity. When a cavity is diagnosed in your child’s tooth, it is important to have the infected material removed as soon as possible. The earlier a cavity is treated the easier it is for your child. At our practice only we only use white filling materials. They are BPA-free, safe and effective. Plus, they match the color of your child’s teeth, so they will look as good as new!
Pediatric Dental Crowns
When a child’s tooth becomes damaged beyond the point where a simple filling can repair it, Dr. Sebro will likely recommend a dental crown. This super-strong “cap” is long-lasting and comes in a variety of pre-fit sizes to fit most children’s teeth. Your child will be able to keep their primary tooth root but have the strength and functionality of a crown until they naturally lose the tooth. This helps ensure that the adult tooth below comes in as straight as possible.
Our practice is proud to offer white zirconia crowns as an alternative to stainless steel. If your child needs a crown and the appearance of your child’s smile is a high priority be sure to ask Dr. Sebro if a zirconia crown is an appropriate treatment option.
