Fluoride treatments offer a simple, non-invasive way to prevent dental decay. After your child's cleaning, a fluoride-rich gel or varnish is applied, followed by a short period of no eating or drinking. Fluoride initiates a process called “remineralization,” strengthening teeth with essential minerals.

Keeping your child's smile protected is our number one priority! One of the many ways we accomplish this goal is by providing fluoride varnish treatments. Fluoride varnish is a safe treatment that can prevent tooth decay in baby teeth. It is quickly applied by your child's dentist and then can be brushed off after 4 to 12 hours.

If you're struggling with breastfeeding, a frenectomy might be the solution you've been searching for. A frenectomy is a simple and painless surgical procedure that can improve the quality of life for both you and your baby. It involves removing excess tissue in the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is tight or restrictive, it can limit your baby's mobility and hinder their ability to latch properly during breastfeeding. By undergoing a frenectomy, you can enhance your baby's feeding experience, promote better milk transfer, and alleviate discomfort for both you and your little one. Rest assured, this procedure is relatively quick and has a high success rate, providing a straightforward solution to a complex breastfeeding challenge.
