Dentistry for Kids

Our family-oriented dental service warmly welcomes children starting at just six months old. We’ve designed a kid-friendly, stress-free environment to introduce them to dental care and ensure they enjoy good oral health from a young age.

Dentistry for Kids Play

We offer comprehensive dental services for children, including:

Sealants

We protect your child’s teeth by sealing them, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.

Fillings

Some children and teens may need fillings, and we provide top-notch solutions to make the process pain-free.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a valuable tool in preventing tooth decay. It strengthens teeth against plaque, sugar, and bacteria. Our fluoride treatments are safe and beneficial for children.

Dental Hygiene

Teaching proper oral care to children is a priority. Our skilled dental hygienists specialize in working with children to create positive dental experiences. We’re gentle, attentive, and aim to make your child’s visit enjoyable.

Root Canals

When necessary, we perform baby root canals. Deep cavities can be painful, and this procedure removes the pulp tissue in the tooth’s crown to alleviate discomfort.

Baby Crowns

In cases of damaged or decayed baby teeth, crowns may be recommended to protect these primary teeth until they naturally fall out.

Extractions

Occasionally, we must safely and painlessly remove damaged or decayed teeth to ensure your child’s well-being.

We encourage you to schedule an appointment with us, whether it’s your child’s first visit or a routine checkup. We’re here to safeguard your child’s oral health and provide a positive experience.

A procedure that removes infected pulp tissue from a baby tooth’s crown to relieve pain from deep cavities — preserving the tooth until it naturally falls out. It is safe, effective, and done with care at Excel Dental.

Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth. Removing them too early causes:

  • Neighboring teeth to shift
  • Crowding of permanent teeth
  • Potential need for orthodontic treatment later

Baby crowns are caps placed over damaged or decayed primary teeth to protect them until they naturally fall out. They are recommended when a filling alone isn’t sufficient to restore the tooth.
