The Preventive Dentistry Process
Here’s what you can expect.
Welcome to Our Loft
Your child's journey begins with a warm welcome to our office. We'll introduce them to our friendly team and show them around our colorful inviting space.
Gentle Examination
Dr. Jacobs will perform a thorough yet gentle examination of your child's teeth and gums. Using kid-friendly language we'll explain each step making the process an exciting adventure rather than a daunting task. Our advanced technology ensures maximum comfort throughout the exam.
Custom Care Plan
Based on the examination we'll create a personalized preventive care plan for your child. We'll discuss our findings and recommendations with you ensuring you're fully informed and comfortable with the proposed care. Remember we're partners in your child's dental health journey!

Cleanings, Exams, X-Rays
Our comprehensive check-ups include gentle cleanings, thorough exams, and low-radiation digital x-rays when necessary. We use kid-friendly tools and explain each step, turning the visit into a fun learning experience. Regular check-ups help prevent cavities and ensure healthy dental development. Ready to schedule your child's next adventure in dental health?

Fluoride
Fluoride treatments are like a shield for your child's teeth! This quick, painless application strengthens enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay. We offer fun flavor options to make the experience enjoyable. With our state-of-the-art techniques, your child will leave with a stronger, cavity-fighting smile.

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are like invisible armor for your child's teeth. We apply a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, sealing out cavity-causing bacteria. The process is quick, painless, and can prevent up to 80% of cavities according to the CDC. With our advanced techniques, we make the application process a breeze!

Oral Cancer Screening
While rare in children, we believe in being thorough. Our gentle oral cancer screenings are a quick, non-invasive part of every check-up. Using advanced technology, we ensure your child's entire mouth stays healthy. This proactive approach provides peace of mind and catches any concerns early.

Airway Screening
Breathing well is crucial for your child's overall health and development. Airway screenings evaluate your child's breathing patterns and identify any potential issues. This can help prevent problems with sleep, behavior, and even tooth alignment. Using child-friendly techniques, we make this important check comfortable and stress-free. If your child is frequently tired or snores excessively at night – give us a call for a consultation!

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend bringing your child in for preventive check-ups every six months. These regular visits allow us to monitor your child's dental development, clean their teeth professionally, and catch any potential issues early. For some children, we might recommend more frequent visits based on their individual needs. Remember, early prevention is key to a lifetime of healthy smiles!
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that a child should have their first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental visits can help prevent future problems and set the foundation for lifelong oral health. They also allow the dentist to monitor the child's dental development and provide timely interventions if necessary.
Absolutely! We use advanced digital x-ray technology that emits significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays. These images are crucial for detecting issues not visible to the naked eye, like cavities between teeth or problems below the gum line. We only take x-rays when necessary and use protective measures like lead aprons. Rest assured, your child's safety is our top priority in every aspect of our care.
