When we see a child with a cavity, we can offer treatment with a dental filling. But what if a child has an infected tooth? Instead of a traditional root canal, we can offer a conservative alternative with a pulpotomy. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, pediatric dentist and orthodontist talks about how we provide gentle treatment for infection with a pulpotomy.
Cavities and dental infection can occur when the outer enamel that protects the tooth is worn down due to poor oral hygiene. But to help kids and adults alike avoid cavities, we can offer treatment to strengthen the enamel. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, pediatric dentist and orthodontist talks about how we help strengthen smiles with fluoride treatments.

Your little one needs your help. They were not born with a knowledge of how to care for their smile, and when you forget to schedule their biannual checkups, you put them at real risk. These visits are their opportunity to come in and have a chat with a qualified pediatric oral health professional, so make sure that they stick to their schedule of checkups. And while they are here, have them bring all of their health-related questions with them!
Here at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, we understand that it’s tough to figure out your schedule as a parent. But we also know the power that comes with a positive schedule of prevention, and that’s why we stress so much the importance of keeping them to their timeline of treatment. For most kids, that means coming in for a checkup twice each year, so if it’s been longer than six months since their last appointment, it’s time to make a call. We are ready to help them work toward a healthy adult smile.
Time for their next checkup? Call Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry today to set up a time.
