- Dental ExaminationIt is recommended that every child should have their first dental exam between the ages of six months and one year, or once their first tooth comes in. Our top priority at Lynnwood Kids Dentist is to provide our families with the education necessary to best maintain their child’s healthy smile. By scheduling your first visit with us, we will provide a warm and welcoming environment, preventing your child from being nervous or afraid of their future dental visits.
- X-raysTo make your visit as pleasant and brief as possible, there are a few things you should bring with you. Please bring any dental X-rays from the last six months to your first appointment.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fluoride TreatmentAt Lynnwood Kids Dentist, we strive to create a positive dental care experience for your child. One of the ways we do this is to provide quality preventive care. Our team offers silver diamine fluoride treatment to protect your child’s teeth from tooth decay and keep their smile healthy and strong. Schedule an appointment to learn more about this remarkable preventive treatment!
- Dental SealantsSilver modified atraumatic restorative technique (SMART) fillings are used to stop decay and seal teeth. The material in SMART fillings consists of silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer cement, creating a sealant and restoration in just one visit. SMART fillings work in two ways: the fluoride stops the development of decay and helps restore the enamel, while the cement fills the tooth and seals out any remaining bacteria.
- Space MaintainersSince primary teeth guide the permanent teeth into place, infants with missing primary teeth or infants who prematurely lose primary teeth may require a space maintainer, a device used to hold the natural space open. Without a maintainer, the teeth can tilt toward the empty space and cause permanent teeth to come in crooked. Missing teeth should always be mentioned to your family dentist. The way your child cares for his/her primary teeth plays a critical role in how he/she treats the permanent teeth. Children and adults are equally susceptible to plaque and gum problems—hence, the need for regular care and dental checkups.

- Root Canal TreatmentAcute or persistent tooth pain always signals a need for an urgent visit to the dental office. The most common cause of dental pain is tooth decay, a bacterial infection that can spread through many parts of the tooth, and even into the gum tissue. Sometimes, tooth pain indicates that you may need a root canal treatment — a procedure that not only relieves the pain of an infection deep inside the tooth but also can keep the tooth from having to be removed. Other times, pain may be caused by a loose filling or sensitive tooth. The only way to know for sure what's causing your tooth pain is to make an appointment with our office right away.
- Dental ImplantsWith good dental hygiene, you can greatly reduce the risk of gingivitis, cavities, periodontitis, and other dental problems. In addition to practicing proper preventive dentistry, you will save money too. Studies have shown that families that follow these best practices reduce the need for costly treatments such as root canals, dental implants, dental fillings, etc.
- Tooth ExtractionsTooth extractions are surgical procedures. There are two types of extractions: simple and surgical. A simple extraction is performed when the tooth has broken through the gum line and is visible in the mouth. Surgical extractions are performed when the tooth is impacted or stuck in the jawbone.
