Pediatric Dentistry in Carrollton, TX
At Flink Family Dentistry, we provide a fun, gentle, and engaging dental experience for children of all ages. Our pediatric dentistry services are designed to ensure a positive start on your child’s path to a healthy, happy smile.
Treatment Options
Our pediatric treatments are tailored to protect, maintain, and restore your child's oral health while educating them on good dental habits.
Cleanings & Exams
Regular cleanings and exams are the first steps in your child’s dental health journey. Our friendly team makes these visits enjoyable, teaching your child the importance of oral care in a fun and accessible way. These routine visits help prevent cavities and catch potential issues early, paving the way for healthy, lasting smiles.
Emergencies
As a parent, you want to protect your child. And when accidents happen, you shouldn't have to wait to get them out of pain. That’s why we provide prompt, compassionate care to address your child’s dental emergency quickly and relieve their discomfort. Our goal is to turn a potentially scary situation into a reassuring experience for both you and your child.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a simple yet powerful way to protect your child’s teeth against decay. Applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, sealants block out food particles and plaque, significantly reducing the risk of cavities. It’s a quick, painless procedure that can safeguard your child’s teeth for years to come.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter, helping to strengthen enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. Fluoride treatments are quick and comfortable, providing an extra layer of defense for your child's teeth and keeping them strong and resistant to cavities.
Dental Fillings
Despite our best efforts, tooth problems can happen! When cavities occur, tooth-colored fillings restore your child’s teeth to their natural strength and function. We make the process as comfortable and quick as possible, ensuring your child’s smile stays healthy.
Dental Crowns
For teeth that are more extensively damaged, we offer pediatric dental crowns. These restorations protect your child's tooth after significant decay or injury, ensuring that their smile remains functional and looks natural.
Pulpotomies
A pulpotomy, or “baby root canal,” can save a severely decayed tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. Our gentle approach ensures your child’s comfort and the health of their growing smile.
Extractions
Sometimes, a tooth extraction is necessary for your child’s oral health. We perform this procedure with the utmost care, ensuring your child’s comfort and using techniques that minimize discomfort.
Space Maintenance
Baby teeth are the blueprint for healthy permanent teeth. If your child loses a tooth prematurely, a space maintainer can keep the spot open until the permanent tooth is ready to emerge. This helps prevent other teeth from shifting and causing future alignment issues.
Oral Habits
Thumb-sucking and pacifier use are normal for infants but can cause dental issues if they continue for too long. We offer guidance and treatment options to help manage these oral habits, ensuring they don’t affect your child’s dental development.
Infant Dentistry
At the heart of infant dentistry is a commitment to the earliest smiles. We recommend bringing your little one in by their first birthday or first tooth, whatever comes first. This allows us to address the unique needs of your baby's developing teeth, ensuring a foundation of lifelong oral health.
