Who Is a Candidate for Pediatric Dentistry?
Tooth decay and other dental concerns can develop in children as young as 24 months old. MINT dentistry suggests scheduling your child's first visit when they are around one and a half years old, so a MINT dental professional can start monitoring for development problems. Children usually keep their primary teeth for a while, so it is important that they remain in good health so their permanent teeth can grow in properly. This includes scheduling appointments every six months for a professional cleaning.
What Are Pediatric Dental Visits Like?
The dental professionals at MINT dentistry are committed to ensuring that your child feels safe before beginning their appointment. Our team will talk to your child and explain what is happening so they feel more comfortable with the process. Your child will get to wear MINT sunglasses while they sit back in a special treatment chair. One of our MINT team members will first perform a basic exam of your child’s mouth and then a quick cleaning. Dental sealants or fluoride treatments may be suggested to protect your child's developing teeth. Should our team identify a problem, a customized treatment plan will be created that focuses on your child's needs and comfort level. Our Cleveland, OH dentists are dedicated to using the most advanced dental technology available in the industry to ensure your child's routine care and treatments are fast, effective, and comfortable.
Following Your Child's Dental Treatment
A follow-up treatment appointment may be needed if your child's MINT dentist finds a dental concern. Our MINT team of dentists is experienced in providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. If your child requires care after an injury, an orthodontic treatment (like Invisalign® teeth straightening), or a simple tooth-colored filling, we are ready to help. For healthy teeth and gums, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you schedule dental cleanings in six-month intervals and dental exams once a year for your child. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a dedicated at-home oral health regimen, as instructed by the MINT dentistry team.
The MINT Commitment
Annual exams and biannual cleanings for children are considered preventive treatments, so dental insurance typically covers them. For any procedures or recommended treatments, our MINT support staff will speak to your insurance provider to calculate what is covered and any remaining costs. If you do not have dental insurance, MINT dentistry takes many payment options so you can easily fit your child's dental care into your budget. MINT dentistry in Cleveland, OH believes a beautiful smile and a healthy mouth are invaluable assets, so we're dedicated to helping you afford both.
