Peoria Pediatric Dentistry

While it is not recommended for your child’s primary teeth to be whitened, they can be scheduled for a whitening treatment once their adult teeth are fully grown in. Our Peoria cosmetic dentists use a completely safe, effective procedure to enhance the appearance and color of your child’s teeth. Consult with your dentist for more information!

With careful application of fluoride, Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead can protect your child’s primary and adult teeth from decay or damage. Fluoride is completely safe and used by dentists all over the world to prevent cavities in children as their tooth enamel develops. While fluoride varnish cannot completely prevent cavities, studies have shown it to be tremendously effective.

Through careful orthodontic treatment that is specific to your child’s needs, our Peoria orthodontists at Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead can address issues with your child’s oral health including overcrowding, crooked teeth, and other issues with jaw growth or tooth development. Early orthodontic treatment can help prevent extraction of both primary and adult teeth.

Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead uses either nitrous oxide or conscious sedation during dental procedures for any children who need help relaxing or sitting still in the dental chair. It is also helpful for children with sensitive gag reflexes. Both methods are very safe for your child and highly beneficial toward encouraging a quick, effective dental procedure.

Children are active beings and often experience chipped, damaged, or knocked out teeth from active play. At Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead, we utilize tooth colored porcelain fillings to enhance visible teeth that have been damaged or decayed. These fillings blend in with the natural tooth color to ensure a seamless appearance and confident smile.

At Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead, we believe prevention is the best medicine. Throughout your child’s dental care, our team will perform a full review of their health history and a comprehensive exam of your child’s teeth, gums, soft tissues, head, and neck, in an effort to identify early any potential concerns, and minimize the risk of invasive, expensive care.
