Preventive dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. By identifying and addressing issues early, we can help your child avoid cavities, toothaches, and more serious dental problems down the road. At Harrison Pediatric Dentistry, our goal is to keep your child’s smile healthy, confident, and cavity-free.
We offer a full range of preventive services designed specifically for kids, including:
Dental cleanings
Fluoride treatments
Dental sealants
Oral hygiene education
Nutritional guidance
Digital X-rays (as needed)
These visits are also a great time to track your child’s dental development and answer any questions you may have.
We typically recommend visits every six months for most children. These routine checkups allow us to:
Monitor tooth and jaw development
Catch small issues before they become bigger problems
Reinforce healthy habits at home
For children with specific dental concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Even with great brushing and flossing, kids are still prone to cavities. At Harrison Pediatric Dentistry, our team uses fluoride treatments and dental sealants as an extra layer of protection, especially on hard-to-reach molars. These preventive tools can dramatically reduce your child’s risk of decay.
When parents have the right info, kids benefit. During your visit, we’ll share age-appropriate tips on brushing, flossing, snacking, and managing habits like thumb-sucking or pacifier use. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
