To Protect and Strengthen Young Smiles
We love treating kids and appreciate the opportunity to foster a lifetime of healthy smiles. Children and parents alike appreciate Dr. Foster's gentle touch, kind manner, and focus on making dental visits fun.
Dr. Foster likes to see children for a first visit around age three, or earlier if parents notice problems or have concerns. We'll perform a gentle, yet thorough, exam to assess tooth development and bite alignment, then suggest therapies to protect teeth from decay and damage. Our dental sealants and fluoride treatments help prevent decay, and we also offer custom-made mouthguards to protect children's teeth during sports activities.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, plastic coatings that guard against cavities. Back teeth often have deep grooves that can harbor cavity-causing bacteria. Dental sealants fill these grooves to create a smooth surface that's easy to clean and resistant to decay.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is another proven cavity fighter. When applied directly to teeth, it attracts other strengthening minerals to create a wall of defense against decay. Children who drink bottled instead of tap water may have a fluoride deficiency. Fluoride treatment replenishes this mineral to keep teeth healthy and strong.
Athletic Mouthguards
Almost 40% of all athletic injuries involve the face, so a mouthguard is a crucial piece of protective gear for any child who plays sports. Mouthguards are made of comfortable, easy-to-clean acrylic and are an inexpensive way to protect smiles from permanent damage. Dr. Foster will take an impression of your child's teeth to ensure a custom fit.
