Auburn Pediatric Dentistry

Dental Examination
X-rays
In accordance with the guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the frequency of dental X-rays is in part determined by a patient’s risk of getting cavities and stage of growth. X-rays may be prescribed to diagnose tooth decay, evaluate growth, check for fracture after trauma, or rule out pathology. A discussion between Dr. Derrow and the parent will always occur before an X-ray is taken.

Teeth Cleaning
While tooth cleaning and polishing are important to your child’s prevention program, there is a great deal more your pediatric dentist can provide to prevent dental problems. Dr. Derrow can help protect your child from tooth decay, recommend a mouth guard for sports injuries, provide early diagnosis of orthodontic problems and much more. Dr. Derrow is specially trained to develop a combination of office and home preventative care to promote your child’s happy smile.
Fluoride Treatment
Helping your child stay cavity free is just one of the benefits of regular dental visits. By visiting Auburn Pediatric Dentistry twice a year, your child will receive many services such as teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments, and hygiene instructions. Additionally, regular visits allow Dr. Derrow to evaluate changes in your child’s oral health and make adjustments and recommendations accordingly. Since Dr. Derrow is a pediatric specialist, at each visit she will evaluate your child’s overall growth and development.
Dental Sealants
Four out of five cavities in children are found on the 6-year molars. Sealants can help prevent decay and it’s as easy to apply as nail polish. Sealants are made of clear or shaded plastic and are applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free. They protect the grooves in your teeth from food, plaque, and bacteria. Sealants can last for many years when cared for properly. They can protect your child’s teeth throughout the most cavity prone years. Dr. Derrow will check the sealants during routine dental visits and can recommend reapplication or repair when necessary.
Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost too soon, the teeth beside it may move into the empty space. This can create a lack of space for the permanent teeth and may cause them to become crowded or crooked. To prevent this from occurring, Dr. Derrow may suggest space maintainers to hold open the empty space and prevent movement until the permanent tooth takes its natural position. This option can be more affordable and easier on your child than moving the permanent teeth back into place through orthodontic treatment.

Fillings
Crowns
A cavity develops when a tooth decays, which causes a hole in the tooth that can grow bigger and deeper over time. Depending on how sick the tooth is will determine which procedure will be used to make it better again. Fillings are the most common and involve removing the rotted part of your tooth. A special material is then used to fill the hole in your tooth. If the cavity is large and needs more than a filling, a cap or crown may be placed on the tooth. A cap or crown sits right on the tooth and totally covers it, allowing for normal chewing to continue.

Pulpotomy
If the cavity is allowed to grow without treatment, it can move deep into the tooth and infect the nerve. If this occurs, a pulpotomy is needed to remove the affected part of the nerve and medicine is placed to promote healing. Dr. Derrow and staff will discuss with you the right treatment for your child.

Orthodontics
The purpose of preventative dentistry is to keep teeth and gums healthy. Through regular dental visits with Dr. Derrow and the APD team, parents and children will learn about brushing, dental development, flossing, fluoride, oral habits, orthodontics, parental involvement, a diet for health smiles, sealants, and sports safety.
