Children’s Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, along with our experienced children’s dentists in South Hadley, recommend bringing your child in for their first dental checkup by the time their first tooth erupts, or by their first birthday. Once they get older and multiple teeth have erupted, we’ll also conduct thorough professional cleanings to keep cavities at bay and prevent plaque and tartar build-up.

Fluoride Treatments for Kids: Strengthen & Protect Baby Teeth

Fluoride is a naturally produced mineral that’s also added to dental hygiene products to strengthen and protect teeth from decay. If your child isn’t getting enough fluoride in their diet, our team can apply a fluoridated gel at the end of their dental cleaning for extra protection. We also offer silver diamine fluoride, which can arrest decay in addition to strengthening tooth enamel.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are highly effective protective shields that we can paint over the biting surface of your child’s molars to keep food debris and plaque from accumulating in their pits and grooves. The treatment is painless and only takes a moment to complete. Your child’s dentist in South Hadley will brush a clear coating onto their teeth and harden it with UV light. With good dental hygiene, the sealants will continue protecting your child’s teeth for years to come.

Pulp Treatment

Unexpected toothaches can occur at any moment, leaving your child in pain and needing urgent attention. Our team at Newton Street Dental offers same-day emergency appointments to help determine whether pulp treatment is needed. During this procedure, we’ll remove the infected nerves and tissue within the tooth to ease your child’s pain and prevent the infection from spreading. We’ll then top the treated tooth off with a protective dental crown.
