Rio Grande Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics

Dental Examination
Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of your child during the lip tie or tongue tie revision. Smaller babies and infants are gently wrapped in a swaddle to limit their movements and protect them during the oral examination and evaluation and for the surgical procedure. A small amount of local anesthetic will be injected into the tied tissues. Our staff will, with two hands, gently stabilize the child’s head. The laser is then used to remove the excessive attachment, which takes between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on age, behavior, and size of the lip tie or tongue tie. A final assessment is done and then the child is immediately returned to his/her parent. We encourage nursing your child immediately after the procedure.

X-rays
Because we care about your child’s bodily health and well-being, we believe that reducing the amount of radiation exposure is extremely important. Although the amount of radiation used in dental X-rays is very small, the effect is cumulative, so all radiation counts. Digital X-rays can reduce your child’s exposure to radiation by up to 80 percent!

Teeth Cleaning
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy. We understand that your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember that an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to decay. We recommend sealants as a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for molars, which are hardest to reach.
Space Maintainers
We are a pediatric dentist practice that treats patients ages 1-18. We are committed to delivering the highest quality dental care and do so using advanced dental equipment. We offer services like checkups, teeth cleaning, crowns, nerve treatment (pulpotomy, pulpectomy), esthetic crowns, zirconia crowns, stainless steel crowns, space maintainer, extractions, laser tongue tie and lip tie treatment. We also perform emergency dental care services!

Fillings
Crowns
A crown is a “cap” cemented onto an existing tooth. This restorative procedure can improve the shape or strength of a tooth. Learn More
Bridges

Pulpotomy
Root Canal Treatment
Sedation can range from the use of laughing gas to calm a patient to general anesthetics used to put patients to sleep. Patients with dental phobia, low pain tolerance, major dental treatment, physical handicaps or strong gag reflexes may require sedation. Procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, cosmetic procedures and periodontal treatments often require sedation.

Dentures
Keep your retainer clean, too, by brushing it gently with a toothbrush and toothpaste. You may also soak it in denture cleaner as instructed by your orthodontist. Do not put your retainer in boiling water or in the dishwasher.

Dental Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Frenectomy is a simple, short oral surgery procedure conducted in our office with a laser. It eliminates the presence of a frenum, a connective tissue in the mouth. There are 2 types of frenum in the mouth. A labial frenum is the tissue that connects the inside of the upper lip to the center of the gums between the two upper front teeth. A lingual frenum is the connective tissue between the underside of the tongue, connecting the bottom of the mouth to the area behind the teeth. A frenectomy eliminates the frenum.
Tooth Extractions
The oral surgeon offers two levels of sedation for your wisdom teeth extraction: nitrous oxide and full IV sedation. The level of sedation will be based on the recommendation of the treating provider. After the sedation has taken effect, the surgeon will extract the teeth and place sutures in the gum. These stitches will dissolve so there is no need for a follow-up appointment to remove them. After the procedure, the patient will remain in the office for a short time to recover from the anesthesia.
Bone Grafting

Orthodontics
Secondly, periodontal (gum) disease is more prevalent in adults than in children. While you are wearing the orthodontic appliances, gentle forces will be applied to your teeth so they can move through their surrounding bone. Periodontal health plays a key role in all of this; if the gum tissues are not healthy during orthodontics, bone loss can result and weaken the long-term prognosis of your teeth. So any gum disease must be brought under control before orthodontic treatment begins. And to maintain your periodontal health, you will need to make sure to have regular professional cleanings during the orthodontics while maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. Learn More
Braces
Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so there’s no such thing as being too old for braces. However, orthodontic treatment for adults is different in two important respects: For one thing, the growth and development of the jaws is complete in adults, so changes in actual jaw structure can’t be accomplished with orthodontic appliances in the way they can with a growing child.
