What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Children need special care in every stage of their development to ensure they grow up healthy, and their smiles are no exception. Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on the teeth and jaw development of children. From infancy to their teen years, every child needs to see a dentist for the care they need to keep their teeth strong.

At VIP Dentistry, we offer a full range of pediatric dentistry services to treat children in the Chino Hills community. Here is what you can expect when you make your child’s next appointment:

• Checkups and Cleanings: Regular checkups and cleanings help your child’s teeth remain strong, bright, and cavity-free. By seeing your child twice a year, we can diagnose dental health concerns as they occur and make the appropriate treatment recommendations.
• Dental Sealants: Sealants can help prevent cavities on your child’s permanent teeth for up to ten years. Applied quickly and painlessly in just one visit, the preventive acrylic coatings seal out cavity-causing bacteria.
• Cavity Fillings: If your child has a cavity, we can restore your child’s smile with a white filling. White fillings are the ideal way to maintain a bright, natural-looking smile.
• Fluoride Applications: Fluoride applications during your child’s regular checkups can keep your child’s teeth strong and cavity-free. We recommend fluoride applications two to four times a year.
• Crowns: If your child has severe tooth decay or damage, we may recommend a crown. We offer crowns made of porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and gold for durable, long-lasting restorations.
• Emergency Dentistry: If your child has suffered a dental emergency or injury, call VIP Dentistry right away. We are proud to offer same-day emergency care to patients of all ages.

How Often Should I Take My Child to the Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that you take your child to their first dental appointment by their first birthday, or within six months of their first baby tooth coming in. To monitor and maintain your child’s oral health, be sure to schedule checkups every six months.
