Preventive Dentistry at Great Grins for KIDS
Pediatric Dentist - Oregon City, OR
Here at Great Grins for KIDS - Oregon City in Oregon City, OR we want all of our patients to feel safe and welcomed in our office, which is why we go to so much trouble to make sure our office is inviting and calming. We understand how important it is to the oral health of your kids to prevent oral health issues from ever occurring, which is why we recommend regular dental exams and dental cleanings at least once every six months to a year for our patients. During these examinations, we can catch oral health maladies in the early stages before they have become a much larger issue.
Our goal is to minimize the impact of decay and infection in your child's mouth so that they will be able to depend on their teeth for many years to come.
We understand how hard it can be to get your kids to brush, let alone floss. It requires commitment on your part to helping them get the proper techniques down. It also requires that you help them to brush and floss every morning and night until they get the habit down. Because we know how hard it can be to get these habits ingrained in your young kids, we have a few helpful tips and tricks to share with parents on how to make thing stick!

Cleanings, Exams and X-rays
Brushing and flossing is an important part of a good oral hygiene routine for your child, but what many people forget is regular cleaning and exam is just as important as regular brushing and flossing. We recommend cleaning and exam once every six months to a year for most of our patients. During this time we will take digital X-rays of their mouth to check on the progression of their adult teeth and ensure that there are no budding issues with their oral health. If we notice the early signs of a cavity, we can take care of it while it's still small or even prevents it altogether. Read More About Cleanings, Exams and X-rays
Fluoride Treatments
Did you know that kids can taste more sweetness than adults? It's true. Young tastebuds have a tremendous sensitivity to sugar, which is why so many kids enjoy sweets, it's also why we offer fluoride treatments to help protect their growing teeth. Kids are less likely to take good care of their teeth and more likely to eat things that will hurt their oral health, so it's important to give their teeth a fighting chance. Fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel that protects and shields their teeth from decay. Fluoride treatments are fast and cost-effective! Read More About Fluoride Treatments
Sealants
