No Hassle, No Fuss Dental Visit




Dr. Fuller states, “We know how important it is to have a fun and enjoyable visit to the dentist.” Your child's needs are as unique as they are, and we want to make sure your child has an awesome visit each and every time. Establishing a positive connection with your child is the key to a positive visit. From the start to the end of each visit the entire team will work to help keep your child as calm as possible.  We know that the first visit will set the tone for all of their future visits.

We'll spend extra time getting to know your child and building a positive relationship with them. If a certain toy or stuffed animal helps relax them, you may want to bring it to the visit with you. They can hold onto it in the chair.
 
If it is the first time they have visited, you can expect an oral exam to make sure they do not have any cavities or decay. X-rays may also be taken to ensure there are no problems brewing below the gum line or even missing adult teeth that will later impact your child’s dental development.  Finally if recommended, a cleaning, polish and fluoride treatment will be done. 

“Once the dental exam and everything has been completed, we’ll discuss with you any problems we noticed or any areas that may need to be watched,” says Pediatric dentist Cameron Fuller. “Ultimately, you will leave with the tools and information that can help your child continue to smile brightly.”

    I really like what Dr. Fuller said about how important it is to have a fun and enjoyable visit to the pediatric dentist. Instilling good oral hygiene habits early in a child is important, and a good first time experience with the dentist helps do just that.

What is a dental abscess?

One of the most common conditions affecting children's teeth are dental abscesses.  Children with severe cavities often have teeth that abscess.  Abscess of lower left primary tooth.  NOTE the tissue swelling on the tooth. Radiograph of abscess on middle tooth.  Note the dark outline of the short root. Dental abscesses often start out as large cavities on the teeth. Once the cavity invades the pulp of the tooth the infection spreads to the bone. At that point the tooth is no longer salvageable. A dental abscess is a swelling of the tissue around an infected tooth. The following symptoms may result from a dental abscess.  Children can often present with facial swelling, fever,  altered eating habits, poor concentration, poor sleep patterns, breathing problems, and general malaise.

A gap between the teeth

When your baby’s teeth first begin to come in and you notice that gap between their teeth when they smile, the family may coo that it’s cute. "However, it is very important that if your child has a gap in their teeth due to a maxillary frenum, or another reason, that it be corrected," says pediatric dentist Dr. Cameron Fuller. Your child’s education, speech and self-confidence is dependent upon it being corrected at an early age.             As your child gets older they are working on saying certain sounds. Children who are younger than five should be developing the ability to say all of the sounds. After five if these sounds are not solidified it will make it much more difficult for them to learn to correctly speak. “And by age seven if the sounds are not correct they run the risk of never being able to say them correctly,” says Dr. Cameron Fuller . By age five and six your child should be able to say th...
