Our Services

Preventative Dental Care

Preventive dental care emphasizes regular check-ups and cleanings, patient education on proper brushing and flossing, and the application of sealants and fluoride treatments. These measures aim to prevent cavities and gum disease, promoting overall oral health.

Digital X-Rays

Our Digital X-ray service uses advanced technology to minimize radiation exposure, making it safe for kids and eco-friendly. It helps us detect early signs of decay and other dental issues, ensuring proactive care for your child’s oral health.

Nitrous Oxide

Our Nitrous Oxide, or “laughing gas,” service offers a pain-reducing and calming effect for children during dental visits. It’s safe, with minimal side effects, and wears off quickly. We provide all necessary pre- and post-treatment instructions for a stress-free experience.

General Anesthesia Dentistry

Our General Anesthesia Dentistry service is ideal for children needing major dental work who are highly sensitive or have specific medical conditions. Dr. Erica performs these procedures at the top-ranked Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. A comprehensive health review and consultation are provided to ensure your child’s safety and keep you well-informed about the process, risks, and benefits.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry enhances the look of your gums, teeth, or bite with treatments like veneers, whitening, crowns, bridges, implants, and tooth-colored fillings. Tailored to each patient’s age and specific dental needs, these procedures can transform your smile. Contact us to learn more about your cosmetic dentistry options.

Silver Diamine Fluoride

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a quick, noiseless, and non-invasive treatment to stop cavity progression, ideal for young children. Applied in under a minute with a brush, SDF not only halts decay but also kills bacteria without the need for drilling. FDA-approved for tooth sensitivity, it’s also effectively used “off-label” to treat tooth decay.

Orthodontics for Children

Provide early orthodontic evaluations and treatments like braces, retainers, and space maintainers to correct misaligned teeth and promote healthy jaw development. Emphasize interceptive orthodontics (early treatment) for children ages 7 and up.

Emergency Dental Care

Highlight the availability of emergency services to handle urgent situations like dental injuries, severe pain, or broken teeth. This reassures parents that immediate care is accessible when needed.

Special Needs Pediatric Dentistry

Expand on providing personalized care for children with special needs, ensuring a comfortable and accommodating experience tailored to their specific requirements.

Tongue and Lip Tie Treatments

Offer consultations and treatments (e.g., frenectomy) for children with tongue or lip ties that may affect breastfeeding, eating, or speech development.

Education and Prevention for Teens

Though mentioned as part of Preventative Dental Care, emphasize services tailored to teenagers, such as guidance on wisdom teeth, braces, and prevention of cavities related to sugary drinks/snacks.

Habit Counseling Services

Focus on helping children overcome oral habits like thumb sucking, pacifier use, or teeth grinding (bruxism) that could lead to dental problems in the future.

Sedative Dentistry Expanded Options

If applicable, provide detailed options for sedation beyond nitrous oxide, such as general anesthesia for children with severe anxiety about dental visits.
