What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining good oral health to mitigate dental problems before they start. For children, it's especially crucial as it sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. At Palm & Poppy, we emphasize proactive care to ensure your child's teeth stay strong and cavity-free.

Benefits of Preventive Care
Early Detection
Regular check-ups allow us to spot potential issues early, preventing more serious problems down the road. This helps protect your child's oral health in the long run, potentially saving time, money, and the need for treatment.
Healthy Habits for Life
Preventive care helps children develop good oral hygiene habits from an early age. These habits, once established, often continue into adulthood, promoting lifelong dental health.
Reduced Dental Anxiety
Regular, positive dental experiences help children feel comfortable in the dentist's chair. This can significantly reduce dental anxiety and make future visits easier and more enjoyable.

Thorough Exams
Our comprehensive exams assess your child's overall oral health, including teeth, gums, and bite alignment. We use kid-friendly language to explain our findings and any recommended treatments, ensuring both you and your child are informed and comfortable.
Low-Dose Digital Radiographs
Our state-of-the-art digital x-rays provide detailed images while minimizing radiation exposure. This technology allows us to detect issues early and monitor your child's dental development with the utmost safety and precision.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Our gentle, thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing cavities and gum disease. We also provide personalized oral hygiene instruction, empowering your child to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
For early cavities, this non-invasive treatment can slow the progression of these lesions without drilling. It's particularly useful for very young children or those with special needs, providing a painless alternative to traditional cavity treatment.
BPA-Free Dental Sealants
We use safe, BPA-free sealants to protect your child's molars from decay. This quick, painless procedure creates a protective barrier in the grooves on the outer surface of the molars, where cavities form easily, significantly reducing the risk of cavities in these hard-to-clean areas.
