Regular dental exams are critical for monitoring your child’s oral development and catching early signs of cavities, gum issues, or other concerns. During a pediatric oral exam, Dr. Zhao thoroughly checks teeth, gums, bite alignment, and oral hygiene.
We also review habits like thumb-sucking or pacifier use, provide guidance on brushing and flossing, and discuss nutrition’s impact on oral health. Early exams build comfort and trust while setting personalized care goals for each child, ensuring your practice serves as a true dental home.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can miss. Our gentle hygienists use kid-friendly techniques and tools to make cleanings comfortable and even fun.
Dental cleanings reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease and help your child maintain a fresh, bright smile. We highly recommend scheduling cleanings every six months or more frequently if your child is prone to decay. Our practice also offers a wide range of fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and protect teeth from cavities.
When cavities form, pediatric fillings restore tooth structure and prevent further damage. We use tooth-colored composite materials that blend naturally with your child’s teeth.
Dr. Zhao employs gentle techniques and can provide sedation options to ensure your child’s comfort during the root canal filling procedures. Treating decay early helps preserve healthy teeth and avoid more invasive treatments later, supporting your child’s long-term oral health.
When tooth decay or trauma reaches the dental pulp, saving the affected tooth becomes challenging but essential. Pulp therapy treats this condition by removing infected pulp tissue while preserving the tooth, preventing premature tooth loss and associated developmental issues.
Following pulp therapy, Dr. Zhao often places a crown to protect and strengthen the treated tooth, ensuring its functionality and longevity.
Healthy baby teeth are vital not only for smiling but also for proper speech and permanent tooth alignment. Early dental care helps avoid pain, infections, and orthodontic problems while instilling positive oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime.
At Smiles Dental Spa, our pediatric dentist team creates a welcoming environment where children feel safe and supported every step of the way. We actively collaborate with local dental schools and medical centers to provide specialized care, ensuring your child receives the highest standard of quality dental care.
Many dental conditions develop quietly, without pain or obvious warning signs. Regular exams and modern diagnostic tools help detect subtle changes, including plaque and tartar buildup, so we can act early with effective dental cleaning and care.
At Smiles Dental Spa, your trusted Tracy dentist, prevention is at the heart of everything we do. We provide thorough evaluations, clear communication, and individualized care so you understand your oral health and feel confident in your treatment plan.
We thrive on patient feedback! See what your neighbors in Tracy have to say about their experience, and if you have a moment, please leave us a review—we appreciate you taking the time!
