General Dental Care

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our comprehensive evaluations start with their very first happy visit. During each exam we:

• “Count” teeth
• Check tooth development and timing
• Examine for early cavities, including a radiation-free CariVu exam
• Evaluate bite and jaw problems
• Inspect for infections
• Take x-rays, if necessary

Plus, we always offer a complimentary oral-cancer screening with each evaluation!

X-Rays

We use only the most accurate, lowest-radiation digital imaging technology available, including:

• Intraoral Cameras – tiny digital cameras magnify the inside of your mouth so both doctor and patients can see what’s going on in those deep, dark recesses
• Digital X-Rays – produce approximately 80% less radiation with a more accurate picture
• Panoramic X-Rays & Cephalometric X-Rays – great for helping us get a total overview of your child’s head, neck, face, oral cavity, and jaw
• DEXIS CariVu™ Transillumination – radiation-free imaging whenever possible

Hygiene

Even little kids love leaving our Beverly Hills dental office with a clean, fresh, bright smile. Our Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler makes it easy and fuss-free. Because we are specially trained to clean young teeth, most kids actually enjoy their cleaning visits. We really do have a lot of fun, and regular cleaning helps prevent both cavities and gum disease.

Sealants

Sealants are such a great option for kids! Simply painted onto the rough and textural exterior of a child’s tooth, they create a smooth and easy-to-clean surface to protect against cavity bugs and other oral-space pests. The protective sealant also makes it much harder for bacteria to get a foothold. Imagine – no more fillings!

Fluoride Treatments

Did you know that fluoride is a naturally occurring substance found in all-natural water supplies at some concentration? The best part is, that it helps remineralize teeth, especially young ones, preventing and sometimes even reversing cavities. If you have questions or concerns about fluoride treatments, just ask! We have holistic and biocompatible options too!

Fillings

Cavities! No one gets excited to hear they have them. But between our advanced technology that helps us find them early and our tooth-colored filling material, cavities aren’t nearly the ordeal they were in the past. We use the DEXIS CariVu™ to diagnose decay, cracks, and fractures using transillumination technology. And since our fillings are made of white composite material, no one will see them in your child’s smile!

Endodontics

We know, we know. No one likes the sound of a pediatric root canal. But here’s the thing: root canals stop pain, keep little teeth where they belong, and help prevent future orthodontic issues. We offer:

• Anterior/Premolar Root Canal Treatment
• Molar Retreats
• Therapeutic Pulpotomies/Baby Pulpotomy

Don’t let a toothache keep your youngster from enjoying life – ask us about pediatric endodontics.

Mouthguards

Over-the-counter mouthguards just won’t do when it comes to protecting junior teeth. That’s why Beverly Hills Pediatric Dental offers custom-designed, custom-fitted, custom-made :

• Sports Mouthguards
• Nightguards

To protect teeth for active lifestyles and to protect teeth during sleep.

Technology

Guess what! Our space theme doesn’t just reflect our love for kids, it’s also because we love technology. We are crazy about leading-edge dental technology for our pediatric friends because of how much easier, more comfortable, and precise it makes every treatment. Our technology includes:

• Intraoral Cameras
• Soft Tissue Lasers to treat cold sores, speed healing, and whiten teeth
• DEXIS CariVu™ to find even the earliest signs of decay
• iTero® Digital Scanner to eliminate goopy impressions
• The Piezo™ Ultrasonic Scaler for fast and easy cleanings
