Dental Sealants
One of the most important advancements in modern general dentistry is the development of sealants. We can now seal the pits and grooves on the biting surface of your teeth, which is where decay usually occurs. In turn, this proactively prevents decay before it starts. The procedure does not involve drilling or numbing, and it costs less than half the fee of an average filling.

Dental X-Rays
We look below the surface with our comprehensive dental X-rays that detect a variety of dental problems. We ensure that X-ray exposure is kept to a minimum and use fast film as well as a protective apron. In addition, we also limit X-rays to once a year and recommend a panoramic X-ray every 3 years. X-rays are vital for diagnosing many problems including:

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth
• Gum Diseases
• Abscesses

• Oral Cancer
• Cysts

• Joint Problems (TMJ)
• Other Infections

Policy for Parents
It is our policy that parents remain in the office during all dental procedures for their children. Your cooperation ensures a safe and successful dental visit for your child.
