Gentle and Fun Pediatric Dental Care in Raleigh, NC
Why Families Trust Our Pediatric Dental Care
We know how crucial first visits are to ensuring children have a lifetime of success at the dentist’s office, so we work hard to make your child’s dental checkups enjoyable and joyful. Our staff will also make pediatric appointments as informative as possible to help your kids understand the value of maintaining good oral health.
Whether you have a toddler or preteen, Dr. Chi will thoroughly check your child’s bite, surrounding tissues, gums, tooth development, and oral health. In certain situations, she might require radiography to examine the child’s oral condition. If necessary, we can discuss clear aligners and our effective orthodontic treatment for mild to moderate tooth or bite misalignment. During your child’s visit we may also recommend sealants, a thin, protective coating that shields back teeth from decay.
When is the Ideal First Pediatric Dental Visit?
We advise scheduling the first dental appointments for your children around age 1. If they get early appointments, they will get used to dentist offices. At Luma Dental Studio, Dr. Chi will be able to identify early dental issues and take appropriate action. As parents, we can also offer advice on keeping our children’s teeth healthy.
Pediatric Services for Growing Teeth
We offer reliable Pediatric Dental Care in Raleigh, including safe and effective treatments such as fluoride and sealants. Fluoride treatments help support and strengthen the enamel while the teeth are growing. Dental sealants, meanwhile, help shield teeth from microorganisms that cause cavities. Our team can also provide your kids with Nitrous Oxide, the safest and mildest form of sedation, to help them relax and feel comfortable during treatments.
In addition to dental checkups, X-rays, oral hygiene advice, and tooth remineralization, we provide the following services to help your children develop and maintain a healthy set of teeth:
- Routine Cleanings — Luma Dental Studio provides top-quality routine dental cleanings to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings protect your long-term oral health while keeping your smile bright, healthy, and looking its best.
- Sealants — Back teeth are more prone to cavities due to deep pits and grooves that trap food and bacteria, making them hard to clean. We offer dental sealants to protect these cavity-prone surfaces and keep your smile healthy.
- Fluoride — Fluoride treatments strengthen teeth and protect against cavities and decay. This quick, painless preventive treatment can be added to your visit to boost enamel and support long-term smile health.
- Tooth Colored Fillings — Untreated cavities can lead to tooth loss and impact both your oral health and confidence. Luma Dental Studio offers tooth-colored fillings to repair decay, restore strength, and keep your smile healthy and natural-looking.
- Clear Aligners — Clear aligners offer a discreet, effective alternative to metal braces for achieving a straighter smile, providing comfortable orthodontic treatment to correct teeth alignment without compromising appearance.
- Nitrous Oxide — Dental anxiety can keep you from necessary care, risking your oral health. Nitrous oxide helps you relax, making dental visits comfortable and stress-free while ensuring you get the treatment you need.
