Family dentistry services to consider: dental sealants, Invisalign and more.
Looking for terrific family dental care services? Here are some at the DentalWorks North Olmsted dentist office that you may not know about.
Check them out and see which ones would be helpful for your family.
- Dental sealants : We’ve found that parents really appreciate learning about dental sealants to reduce the likelihood that their children will have cavities. Dental sealants are “painted on” the back teeth of children shortly after their molars and premolars come in; the sealants help protect teeth against decay-causing bacteria. This process will most likely need to be repeated every few years, as part of your child’s ongoing dental health care.
- Tooth colored fillings : If your child does have a cavity, then ask about using tooth colored fillings to fill in the hole created by the cavity. Tooth colored fillings match your child’s teeth in both color and texture and are therefore much less noticeable.
- Invisalign braces, the “invisible braces” : Pre-teens and teens who need braces can be reluctant to have them because of the way they change their appearance. So, consider Invisalign braces, which are nearly invisible braces that correct orthodontic issues without significantly changing the pre-teen’s or teen’s appearance. It isn’t uncommon for others to not even notice Invisalign braces. Please check with your dental professional to see if this is an option for your child.
These are just some of the family dentistry services that may be new to you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the DentalWorks North Olmsted dentist office at 1-440-734-6500 or post your dental care question below. Thanks!
