Oral Examinations

Watertown Pediatric Dentistry offers oral health examinations to ensure healthy gums and teeth from newborns to adolescents. These oral exams help our team find issues early and create the right preventive routines for each child.

Dental exams give us a first-hand look at how your child’s teeth are coming in, whether there are any signs of decay, and if your child will need braces in the future. We also talk with families about brushing, fluoride, and diet choices that support oral health at home.

Digital Radiography

Watertown Pediatric Dentistry utilizes digital radiography as one of our primary diagnostic tools to find concerns early.

This tool allows us to monitor tooth growth or decay under the surface, emitting less radiation than its traditional counterpart. This speedy process produces high-quality photos and is less intrusive, ensuring your child doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

Restorative Fillings

Cavities happen! Watertown Pediatric Dentistry offers restorative fillings to stop the cavity from growing and protect your child from further decay. There are many types of fillings, including composite (white) and amalgam (silver) options.

Crowns

Watertown Pediatric Dentistry may recommend crowns for broken, cracked, or fractured teeth. They are cemented onto existing teeth to improve their strength over time. We offer white crowns as an alternative to the traditional metal option.

Custom Mouthguards

Protect your children’s teeth from sports-related injuries, including impacts to the mouth and jaw! Watertown Pediatric Dentistry creates custom mouthguards from soft plastic to help protect your child’s teeth, lips, and gums. Contact us today to learn more information, or to schedule an appointment!

Routine Teeth Cleanings

Our dental hygienists provide gentle, comprehensive routine dental cleanings as part of our preventive approach. Our cleanings and guidance on brushing help children build daily routines that support oral health and overall health.

Teeth cleanings allow us to give your child’s teeth deep flossing in areas they might not be able to reach. We also scrape plaque from the surface of the teeth, which, if left untreated, can create cavities.

Dental Sealants

Protecting your kid’s teeth is essential to their development. Dental sealants are placed on the chewing surface of the permanent molars to fill in crevasses where acid-causing plaque can pool and begin damaging the enamel.

According to the American Dental Association, sealants on permanent molars reduce the risk of cavities by 80%. This preventive service helps us find early problem spots before they turn into cavities.

Space Maintainers

Our pediatric dentist may recommend space maintainers to keep your child’s teeth properly aligned, allowing permanent teeth to develop and erupt normally.

Space maintainers minimize the need for orthodontic intervention as they get older and keep the adjacent teeth in the correct position.

White Crowns (Zirconia Crowns)

This state-of-the-art, natural-looking, all-ceramic crown has quickly become more popular than its metal counterpart. Zirconia crowns are virtually impossible to detect when they are placed. Providing the same benefits of functionality and protection as traditional crowns, our team is proud to offer this option!

Pulpotomy

A pulpotomy is a procedure removing the diseased portion of the pulp and introducing a disinfecting agent into the tooth to calm the remaining nerve tissue.

This procedure is sometimes referred to as a “baby root canal,” followed by placing a crown on the tooth. When needed, we explain every treatment step clearly so families know what to expect during the appointment.
