Pediatric dentistry treatments
At Travis Walding DDS, you can find a variety of treatments available for your children. These include routine exams and cleanings and simple restorative treatments like dental fillings and crowns. You can also find emergency dental services at our office in Houston, TX. Children are generally fairly active and can easily be affected by an oral injury, especially if they are involved in sports.
Our dental clinic can help if you should have any issue that needs immediate attention. We also provide preventive dentistry treatments such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants. These two procedures can be beneficial in promoting oral health and helping to prevent dental issues like cavities.
We offer sedation dentistry for patients who are particularly anxious and for certain procedures that require it. Your dentist will discuss your options with you if needed.
Oral health education
We believe that dental services are not all that is needed for patients to enjoy good oral health – patients themselves also play a part in how healthy their teeth and gums are. That’s why we are always excited to educate our patients, especially children, on proper oral hygiene habits.
It is essential to teach children how to brush and floss properly and have them develop these habits from an early age so that they continue to practice them as they grow up. It can also be helpful for patients to learn what foods are helpful and harmful to their oral health. Parents may frequently tell their children not to have too many sugary foods, but this advice may have more weight when children understand the effects that these substances have, not only on their overall health but their oral health.
