Teeth Cleaning
Cleaning: Teeth cleanings remove debris that build up on the teeth, irritate the gums and cause decay. Regular dental visits (twice a year) will help your child stay cavity-free. The pediatric dentist will review your child’s medical and dental history. He or she will gently examine your child’s teeth, oral tissues, and jaws. The teeth will be cleaned and polished, followed by the application of a fluoride solution.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride: Fluoride treatments renew the fluoride content in the enamel, strengthening teeth and preventing cavities. Fluoride is a compound that contains fluorine, a natural element. Using small amounts of fluoride on a routine basis can help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride inhibits loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization (strengthening areas that are weakened and beginning to develop cavities).
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities in children are found. The deep grooves and pits of back teeth are very difficult to keep clean. Plaque, a nearly invisible film of bacteria and food, collects in these grooves. Every time you eat, the bacteria in plaque form acid. Without sealants, the acid can cause the enamel to break down, resulting in a cavity. Made of clear or shaded plastic, sealants are applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free. Sealants “seal out” food and plaque, thus reducing the risk of decay.
Space Maintainers
A baby tooth usually stays in place until a permanent tooth underneath pushes it out and takes its place. Unfortunately, some children lose a baby tooth too soon. A tooth might be knocked out accidentally or removed because of dental disease. When a tooth is lost too early, your pediatric dentist may recommend a space maintainer to prevent future space loss and dental problems. If a baby tooth is lost too soon, the teeth beside it may tilt or drift into the empty space. Teeth in the other jaw may move up or down to fill the gap. When adjacent teeth shift into the empty space, they create a lack of space in the jaw for the permanent teeth. Therefore, permanent teeth are crowded and come in crooked. If left untreated, the condition may require extensive orthodontic treatment.

Fillings
Crowns
Operative/ esthetic dentistry involves crowns, fillings, and other procedures that will restore teeth in a beautiful, natural looking fashion. The dentist will analyze every aspect of your child’s smile and will correct any problems.

Pulpotomy
Pulpotomy: A vital pulpotomy removes part of a tooth’s nerve tissue found in the pulp, which is the center of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. The part that is removed is inside the crown. The crown is the part of the tooth that you see above the gum line. A pulpotomy usually is done in children when decay has reached the crown part of the pulp, but the nerve in the root of the tooth is still healthy. The procedure also is done when the pulp is exposed as a result of injury or trauma. The affected part of the pulp can be removed, leaving the healthy part in the root.
Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Fishman is a true ARTIST! We first met Dr. Fishman when my daughter was 3yrs old. She had a bad case of baby bottle rot that required crowns, root canals, the works. After two dental evaluations from other dentists it seemed hopeless. Until we met Dr. Fishman, he was the only pediatric dentist that was confident, knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate. My daughters four front teeth have white crowns, you can’t even tell. They look like her old teeth; the size and color match perfectly! Not only is Dr. Fishman a great dentist he is so friendly, respectful and great with my kids. He has a very friendly and helpful staff too! I recommend all my friends with kids to him and they are just as impressed as I am.

Orthodontics
Dr. Tom Gibson grew up in San Clemente, California. He attended the University of California at Irvine where he graduated early with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. He then went on to Northwestern University Dental School where he graduated with honors and entered an advanced training residency in orthodontics. He finished his residency with a Master’s degree in oral biology and received his specialty certificate in orthodontics. Dr. Gibson has been devoted full time to the practice of orthodontics for over 20 years.

Braces
Extractions: Sometimes when there is too much damage for the tooth to be repaired, the tooth will be extracted. A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Other reasons teeth become extracted are that some people have extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in or people getting braces may need teeth extracted to create room for the teeth that are being moved in place.
