Recognizing Children’s Dental Health Month
Many people may not know this, but February is National Children’s Dental Month. A child’s teeth is just as important, if not more so, than an adult’s, and because their teeth are brand new and just forming, their smiles are more prone to decay. In order to have a beautiful smile for years to come, your child must become accustomed to the healthy routines and habits at an early age. The
doctors at
Grand Dental Studio understand the importance of your child’s smile, which is why they offer
children’s dentistry.
Dental sealants are an important aspect of
children’s dentistry. Because the teeth located toward the back of the mouth have deep grooves and pits, they are more susceptible to bacteria getting lodged and causing problems.
Dental sealants protect your child’s teeth by adding a protective layer in the grooves, preventing harmful bacteria from making your child’s smile its new home. Playing a crucial role in cavity prevention,
dental sealants cover the molars and premolars, which are the primary chewing teeth. This is a wonderful way to ensure your child’s smile stays protected.
Fluoride supplements are another wonderful way to keep your little one’s smile looking and feeling great!
Fluoride attracts other minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel. Surprisingly, tap water is a good way for your child to get
fluoride, but because most people drink bottled water, you child may be missing out on much needed
fluoride. We will be able to determine whether or not your child needs a
fluoride boost when they come in for their appointment, and we will provide a simple solution.
To take advantage of National Children’s Dental Month, make an appointment for your child today, and let our amazing doctors and staff set your child off on the right path of dental health.

If you have teeth missing from your smile, you may find it difficult to be one hundred percent confident in your smile. Though some people may not think twice about it, having an incomplete smile can be detrimental to the rest of your mouth, and it is important to take care of it as soon as possible. Dentures and partials are one way to fix the problem, but you may be looking for a more permanent solution. Because our doctors understand the importance of having a full smile, he is able to offer dental implants to his patients.
The process of dental implanting begins with a consultation with one of our doctors. Dr. Michael Kirk has had extensive postgraduate training on dental implanting from the University of Texas, so he is more than capable of taking care of your procedure. During the consultation, he will be able to assess your smile in its current state, as well as ask you about your long term goals regarding your smile. You will also have that opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns you have regarding your procedure, as we want you to be informed the entire time. If you are considered a candidate, that is where the real fun begins!
A titanium screw will be embedded into your jaw bone. This screw will act as a replacement for the empty socket, and will fuse with your natural bone over time. After the screw, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant and the crown. The crown is then placed on top, completing your look. In the end, you’re left with a beautiful smile!
If you’re curious as to how dental implants can help change your smile for the better, make an appointment, and we’ll be more than happy to help!
