The following general dentistry services are available at Longhorn Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics:
Mouth Guards
We strongly recommend the use of mouth guards for children and teens who play contact sports. After all, we don’t want your child to lose a tooth while playing the sport they love! We also offer night guards for treating bruxism. Our mouth guards are custom-fit to ensure maximum comfort and protection.
Regular Checkups
We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday to begin giving them regular dental checkups. Each checkup includes a full examination, a professional cleaning and digital X-rays if necessary.
Sealants
For parents who want to protect their children’s molars and premolars from trapping bacteria and developing decay, sealants are a great solution. This treatment involves applying a plastic coating over the teeth to keep the nasty stuff from getting stuck in their back teeth!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
It is common for children to develop a cavity at some point. We know they can’t resist all that candy! Our dental professionals can provide a tooth-colored composite filling that looks natural and fully restores the tooth.
Longhorn Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics also offers a special Dental Assistant Training Program for our older patients. This is a fantastic program for teens who feel they may be interested in pursuing a career in dentistry later in life. The program lasts 13 sessions with classes being held on either Saturdays or Sundays. We are happy to provide more information for teens and their parents.
Longhorn Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is the perfect dental center for kids and teens! Our staff looks forward to meeting your child and providing them with the best oral care and service available. Please call us at (512) 234-3535 to schedule an appointment.
