Kids' Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
As children grow, their baby teeth fall out and their adult teeth begin to come in. Their dental needs evolve over time, so it is crucial to find a dental provider who can assist them during this transition. Dr. Nana has extensive experience working with patients of all ages and offers various techniques to ensure each visit is enjoyable for your child.
It is ideal to schedule your child's first dental appointment after their first tooth emerges but before their first birthday. Following that, regular check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended. Positive early experiences at the dentist can help children establish good oral hygiene habits as they grow older. That is why we strive to make each visit special and leave them with a happy smile.
Dental Sealants, A Vital Tool in Children's Oral Health
Help your child develop good brushing and flossing habits to protect their molars and premolars. Consider using dental sealants to provide extra protection while they are still learning. These thin layers can prevent bacteria and food particles from getting stuck in their teeth. Studies show that children with sealants are 80% less likely to get cavities in their molars.

Fillings that match the color of your teeth
For your child's cavity filling, we recommend using tooth-colored composite resin instead of metal amalgam. This option not only provides a more natural appearance and prevents teasing from peers, but it is also better for the long-term health of the teeth. Composite resin requires less removal of the original tooth structure compared to amalgam, making it a healthier choice. Randall Pointe Dental is dedicated to providing a calm and secure environment for your child's dental needs, starting from their first tooth.
