Your Child's First Dentist Appointment
During your child's initial dental appointment, Dr. Ash and his team of friendly dental professionals will go above and beyond to ensure our youngest patients feel comfortable and at ease. We will take gentle x-rays, images, and photographs to get a clear understanding of their current oral health. Additionally, we strive to educate children about proper oral hygiene by providing easy-to-understand explanations, minimizing the need for additional appointments.
Checkups and Preventive Care
At Somerset Family Dentistry, we follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines, recommending checkups for children every six months. If we identify multiple cavities or early orthodontic issues, we may suggest more frequent appointments. Each visit focuses on preventive dental care to promote long-term oral health and success for your child.
Dental Crowns For Children
If your child suffers an oral injury or our team detects tooth decay, we may recommend a dental crown to protect the affected area. We offer restorations for children aged 5 and above, including same-day dental crowns using CEREC technology. This innovative approach eliminates the need for temporary crowns and extra appointments.
Tooth Extractions For Kids
At Somerset Family Dentistry, we offer preventive wisdom tooth extractions and removal of impacted teeth to ensure your child's overall oral health. This may involve removing one or more teeth in cases of cavities, missing adult molars, or potential risks to their oral health. Trust us to care for your child's complete well-being.
Sedation Dentistry For Children
If your child experiences anxiety, has specific healthcare needs, or requires extra support to stay calm during dental procedures, we offer specialized sedation dentistry services. Dr. Ash brings the expertise and compassion needed to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for every child. Before your child's dental treatment, Dr. Ash will create a personalized sedation plan tailored to their unique needs and medical history.
