Our Pediatric Preventive Dentistry Services

  • Comprehensive Dental Examinations:

    Our adept pediatric dentists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate your child's oral health. We meticulously examine their teeth, gums, and overall oral structures to detect any irregularities or emerging concerns.

  • Professional Cleanings:

    Routine cleanings are essential for eliminating plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Our compassionate dental hygienists ensure that your child's teeth receive thorough cleaning while ensuring their comfort throughout the process.

  • Fluoride Treatments:

    Fluoride is a vital mineral that fortifies tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments to provide an additional shield for your child's teeth, particularly in areas where fluoride may be deficient in the water supply.

  • Dental Sealants:

    Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to thwart decay. By sealing off deep grooves and crevices where bacteria can accumulate, sealants offer added protection against cavities.

  • Education and Counseling:

    We firmly believe that education is paramount to maintaining good oral health. Our team devotes time to educate both parents and children on proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as the importance of a balanced diet for healthy teeth and gums.

  • Customized Treatment Plans:

    Recognizing that every child is unique, we tailor our preventive care approach to meet the distinct needs of each patient. Whether your child necessitates additional interventions or specialized treatments, we collaborate closely with you to devise a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their specific requirements.

What To Expect At Your Child’s Preventive Dental Care Appointment

  • Thorough Cleaning

    To begin, Dr. Ivker or a dental hygienist will perform a quick oral exam and begin cleaning their teeth. Their teeth will be scaled to remove plaque and tartar, then brushed with a high-powered brush, and flossed to remove any remaining food particles and debris.

  • Necessary X-rays

    X-rays are not required at every dental appointment and are usually taken once a year to ensure your child’s oral development is on track. X-rays may be required if Dr. Ivker suspects cavities or an infection. If Dr. Ivker determines that x-rays are needed, our team will take them with your permission.

  • Comprehensive Exam

    Dr. Ivker will use special dental tools to check for cavities, gum disease, and other signs of potential oral health issues. She will also view your child’s x-rays and health history to aid in diagnosis. Then, she will discuss with you any problems or potential issues they may have found during the examination.

  • Treatment Plan

    If your child has dental issues that need to be addressed, such as cavities, gum disease, or an infected tooth, Dr. Ivker will develop a treatment plan and discuss it with you. Once both you and your child understand the issues and how we can fix them, we can schedule your child’s follow up appointment in East Norriton for treatment.
