Nutritional guidance and recommendations

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child’s first dental check-up take place soon after their first tooth erupts, but no later than their first birthday. For most children, semi-annual dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. However, some children may need more frequent visits due to factors like a higher risk of tooth decay, abnormal growth patterns, or poor oral hygiene. Regular dental visits are key to preventing issues and ensuring your child’s smile remains healthy for years to come.

Since every child’s dental needs are unique, the frequency of dental X-rays varies. Children typically need more frequent X-rays than adults because their mouths grow quickly and they are more susceptible to tooth decay. At Tiny Tooth Co., we use digital X-rays, which significantly reduce radiation exposure. In fact, the radiation from our digital X-rays is lower than what your child would be exposed to just walking to the car. We prioritize your child’s safety while providing the most accurate and effective dental care possible.

If your child has one or more cavities, white tooth-colored dental fillings are an excellent option to restore both the function and appearance of their teeth. At Tiny Tooth Co., we use composite fillings made from durable dental resin that can be perfectly matched to your child’s natural tooth color. We also offer BPA-free composites, ensuring no harmful toxins or additives are used in your child’s treatment.

We prioritize your child’s health and safety by using only the highest quality materials to repair cavities, delivering the best possible care for your child’s dental needs.

If your child has a large, deep cavity, a pulpotomy may be necessary to save the tooth. Often called a “baby root canal,” this procedure involves removing the decayed nerve, cleaning the area, and placing a protective covering to restore and preserve the tooth’s pulp.

After the pulpotomy, your child’s tooth will be restored with a durable dental crown. We offer both white crown options for a more natural appearance, as well as stainless steel crowns for durability. This allows us to choose the best solution for your child's dental needs.

This treatment helps prevent the need for more extensive and costly procedures in the future, promoting long-term oral health and keeping your child’s smile bright for years to come. At Tiny Tooth Co., we are committed to providing effective, long-term pediatric dental solutions that support your child’s healthy smile.

At Tiny Tooth Co., we always prioritize preserving your child’s natural teeth whenever possible. However, in certain cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary, such as when there’s insufficient tooth structure to support a crown, or if a tooth becomes infected due to an untreated cavity or dental trauma.

To ensure your child’s comfort and ease during the extraction, we offer sedation options that make the procedure pain-free and stress-free. Recovery typically takes between 3-7 days, with complete healing occurring within 2-4 weeks. On the first day after the procedure, your child should avoid activities that could dislodge the blood clot, such as spitting or using a straw. We recommend a soft food diet during the recovery period to promote healing.

Our team will provide clear and detailed aftercare instructions to help support your child’s recovery and ensure proper healing following the extraction.

Dental sealants are a clear, protective coating applied to your child’s teeth to help prevent cavities. Research shows that when properly maintained, sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by 80-90%. This quick, painless preventive treatment is an easy and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from harmful bacteria and sugar that can lead to cavities. Sealants are a smart choice for maintaining your child’s oral health and preventing future dental issues.

At Tiny Tooth Co., we offer minimally inhaled sedation, commonly known as laughing gas, as a safe and effective way to help reduce anxiety and fear during your child’s dental visit. This colorless, odorless gas creates a sense of euphoria and relaxation, providing a calm and comfortable experience for children during their treatment.

Laughing gas is the mildest form of sedation and is not intended to make your child sleepy or put them to sleep. Instead, it helps calm anxiety, reduce the gag reflex, and make the dental procedure more comfortable. Our experienced dentists carefully monitor the gas levels throughout the treatment to ensure your child's safety at all times.

Once the procedure is complete, we administer 100% oxygen to help your child recover quickly. The effects of laughing gas wear off in about 5 minutes, allowing your child to resume their normal activities right away with no lingering side effects.

If your child experiences high levels of anxiety during dental visits or requires extensive dental work that cannot be managed with local anesthesia and nitrous oxide or general anesthesia may be the best option for treatment.

At Tiny Tooth Co., we provide safe and effective sedation options with the help of our highly trained anesthesiologists, who specialize in administering general anesthesia. Their primary role is to ensure your child remains properly sedated and closely monitored throughout the procedure, allowing our dental team to focus entirely on delivering the highest quality dental care.

Let’s Get Those Teeth in Formation!

Proper guidance of eruption and the development of both the teeth and jaws are essential components of every child’s dental care. The goal is to ensure your child develops a stable, functional bite that is also aesthetically pleasing.

Early diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions (misalignments of the teeth or jaws) can provide both short- and long-term benefits, improving both function and appearance. Depending on your child’s unique needs, there may be two phases of orthodontic treatment:

First Phase

The first phase typically occurs between 8-10 years old, or sometimes earlier. This phase addresses issues like crossbite or severe crowding, helping to prevent more serious problems once all adult teeth have erupted.

Second Phase

The second phase takes place once all adult teeth have erupted, allowing for the final adjustments to ensure optimal alignment and function.

Tongue tie and lip tie are conditions where tight tissue restricts the movement of the tongue or upper lip, potentially causing breastfeeding difficulties, speech issues, and dental concerns. At Tiny Tooth Co., we will evaluate and refer to our amazing partner who specializes in laser frenectomy, a minimally invasive procedure to release the tight tissue and improve mobility.

Early treatment can enhance feeding, speech development, and oral hygiene. If you notice challenges with feeding or speech, schedule a consultation to see if tongue tie or lip tie might be affecting your child.
