Pediatric Dentist in Sacramento, CA

Explore Marconi Dental Group’s Pediatric Dental Services

Our pediatric dentists in Sacramento, CA, offer these dental services for children throughout the area:

Topical Fluoride

We provide topical fluoride to protect your child’s teeth from decay. It’s like a shield for their teeth!

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants protect the deep crevices in your child’s molars to reduce the risk of cavities. They are placed during a quick visit and last for years. 

Root Canals

You might be wondering why we would want to save a “baby” tooth with a root canal if the tooth is just going to fall out in a few years anyway. The reason is that the baby teeth hold the spot for the “adult” teeth that follow behind. 

Bonding

Kids are active, and minor damage to their teeth, like cracks and chips, is common. Bonding painlessly repairs slight damage. 

Orthodontics

When you choose Marconi Dental Group for your child, they also have access to the latest in orthodontic care. At the first signs of misalignments or jaw issues, we can set your child up with an orthodontic care plan. 

Athletic Mouth Guards 

If your child plays contact sports, you need to get them a mouth guard to protect their teeth. We use the latest digital technology to scan their mouth for the perfect fit. 

Are Primary “Baby” Teeth Really That Important?

Yes! While primary teeth are placeholders for the permanent adult teeth, their job extends beyond that. They are absolutely necessary for eating and speaking. That’s why they need to be protected. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

We’ve been serving our community for years. So, our pediatric dentists in Sacramento, CA, compiled the questions we often get and answered them below. 

What Should I Know About Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is the dental care your child receives from the time they are born until they become young adults. The Marconi Dental Group’s pediatric dentists in Sacramento are all about prevention. We catch issues before they become major dental problems that could impact their future dental health. 

Can You Tell Me About Some Early Dental Milestones?

Sure! Let’s discuss the normal teething process for infants. For them, lower front teeth usually emerge first. Next, you should see their upper front teeth. In infants, lower front teeth often lead the way, followed by the upper front teeth. Next, the molars will erupt. Last come the canines.  We will monitor the process as it happens. Remember, if anything seems out of the ordinary, just give our pediatric dentists in Sacramento, CA, a call. 

What Should I Do to Maintain Optimal Oral Health For My Child?

At first, you’ll need to help them brush and floss. Also, make them a part of the dental hygiene routine. Prioritize it by having them watch what you do. When they get old enough, let them join in the process, but make sure you are assisting them so they are getting every tooth clean. Supervise their oral health routine until they are at least six years old. 

When Should I Schedule My Child’s First Visit With a Pediatric Dentist In Sacramento, CA?

Marconi Dental Group recommends scheduling your child’s first visit by their first birthday or when their first teeth emerge. The first visit is all about making them feel comfortable in the chair and with our team. We also offer education and counseling about how you, as the parent, can best care for their teeth.
