The friendly Life Smiles Dental team provides easy-to-understand explanations of how to keep teeth and gums healthy between appointments.
Checkups and Preventive Care
Dr. Beryl Otchere follows the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and advises that children be seen for checkups every six months. He may suggest more frequent appointments if his team discovers multiple cavities or early orthodontic concerns.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
At Life Smile Dental Studio, we take a comprehensive approach to oral health care. While we focus on early prevention to prevent cavities and tooth decay in our young patients, we offer safe, effective mercury-free fillings to treat them when they do occur!
Dental Crowns For Children
If your child suffers an oral injury or our team discovers decay, we may recommend a dental crown to help save the tooth.
Frenectomy
Does your child need a lip or tongue-tie procedure? This simple procedure can be done right here in our office and produces instant results. The incision site usually heals in a few days with little to no discomfort!
Dental Extractions For Kids
We may recommend a tooth extraction if your child needs treatment for tooth decay or severe crowding. Removing teeth can improve our young patients' overall health, as they continue to grow. Life Smile Dental Studio offers various extraction surgery options for kids, including preventive extractions for wisdom teeth.
Nitrous Oxide Dentistry For Children
If your child is anxious, has unique healthcare needs, or needs extra support to stay calm during dental treatments, we offer nitrous oxide or “Laughing gas” to help keep your child worry-free.
