Dental Examination
As dedicated, board-certified pediatric dentists, our comprehensive exams are very thorough. One of the conditions that we sometimes see in patients – even young patients – is GERD (Gastro-Intestinal Reflux Disease) or simply relfux.
X-rays
We understand the concern about taking x-rays on children, and we want to assure you that we only take x-rays when absolutely necessary. Children who have more extensive cavities will often require more films than children with less decay. Note, however, that we use the latest digital x-ray technology available in order to minimize the already low dose needed for dental films. If you have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask us; you can also read our article dedicated to questions about dental x-rays in children.

Teeth Cleaning
Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is a very thin layer of filling material that we use to fill-in the deep grooves of teeth – usually molars. The reason we fill or “seal” these deep grooves –is because deep grooves in teeth tend to collect food debris and bacteria that over time can lead to tooth decay. The idea is that if we seal the grooves with a filling material (similar to the material we use in a composite or white filling ), we can prevent this buildup and hopefully prevent decay.
Space Maintainers
Space maintainers are appliances that are cemented around the teeth in order to maintain space for erupting permanent teeth. As we discuss on our extractions page, sometimes a primary tooth needs to come out before the underlying permanent tooth is ready to erupt.

Fillings
There are two general types of filling materials – silver amalgam fillings and white-fillings or “composites.” While both materials are safe and reliable, composite fillings have a few distinct advantages over silver fillings.
Crowns
Many of the pediatric dental procedures we perform such as fillings and stainless steel crowns (silver caps), require that your child receive a local anesthetic so that they are comfortable during the procedure. While we are extremely cautious with the amount of local anesthesia we provide to your child, many children have some level of numbness “left over” from the procedure.
Bridges

Pulpotomy
A root canal on a baby tooth is often referred to as a pulpotomy or pulpectomy, and while these procedures are not the same, you may hear these terms used interchangeably. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia (the same numbing that we use when we do a traditional filling) so your child will not feel discomfort.
Root Canal Treatment
When decay in an adult tooth gets very deep or progresses into the pulp (the nerve), a root canal is indicated. Similarly, when decay in a primary or “baby tooth” progresses that far, or is into the nerve, a baby root canal is indicated. However, the similarity between adult and baby root-canals ends there.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Practicing since 2003, Dr. Lann has extensive training and experience in all aspects of periodontics including but not limited to: prevention, surgical and non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease, periodontal cosmetic surgery including gingivectomy, frenectomy, aesthetic crown lengthening, soft tissue grafting, and all aspects of implant dentistry. In additional, Dr. Lann has advanced training in laser dentistry and is certified in the LANAP protocol for the treatment of periodontal disease and in the LAPIP for the treatment of peri-implantitis.

Dental Implants
Please note that even with quick and early treatment, avulsed teeth usually have a very poor long-term prognosis and will often need to be extracted and restored with another treatment modality such as a dental implant or a fixed bridge.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Matthew D. Lann grew up in Woodbridge, CT and attended Union College in Schenectady, NY where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology. After college he completed a DDS at the Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in New York and continued his dental education at the Harvard University School of Dental Medicine where he earned a Certificate in Periodontics and a Masters in Medical Science (MMSc) in Oral Biology. As a part of the MMSc, he participated in research at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. Dr. Lann is board certified and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology in 2004.
Tooth Extractions
If your child’s extraction socket is bleeding, have the child bite down on gauze for 20 minutes and then check the area. If there is still light bleeding, have the child bite down on a tea bag, which almost always stops the bleeding. Please contact the office if it would make you comfortable. It is extremely unusual to have prolonged bleeding following a baby tooth extraction. Please call the office if your child is having prolonged bleeding.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is great for making teeth straight for a beautiful smile. But sometimes after the braces and brackets are removed, white spots remain.
Braces
Francesca is a Registered Dental Hygienist. She is recent graduate of the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. Prior to her hygiene education, she graduated from Northern Essex Community College having studied Dental Assisting. Francesca has 3 years’ experience as an Orthodontic Assistant. She loves to answer questions regarding braces, and is always eager to educate her patients on oral health techniques. Francesca is a longtime resident in Newburyport and enjoys walking the Rail Trail. She has two cats Ginger and Harley, as well as a chocolate lab named Ceasar.

Teeth Whitening
As they mature, teenagers become very self-aware about their looks, their clothes, and their teeth. As such, we offer teeth whitening for our teenage patients where appropriate.
