Eugene Pediatric Dentistry

Children's Dentist in Oregon

Our doctors believe that a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear. The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.

Our doctors and their team love caring for their patients and work hard to ensure that each child is spoken to gently, treated with respect, and cared for as if they were our own child. We use simple words to explain procedures to our patients and make sure each parent or guardian is aware of the process as well.

Children's Cleaning & Exams

Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child’s teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Our doctor recommends two cleanings a year to maintain optimal oral health.

Digital X-rays

Digital x-rays allow our doctor to get a view of your child’s teeth and jaws that they can’t see with their eyes, while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum.

Fluoride

Regular fluoride treatments help reduce your child’s risk of developing cavities and can remineralize areas where decay is starting. Our doctor believes regular fluoride treatments are an important part of treatment for most children.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?

It is recommended to take your child to the dentist for their first appointment around the age of one. This early visit allows us to assess your child's oral development and provide guidance on proper oral hygiene.

How can I help my child overcome a fear of the dentist?

Here are some tips to help your child feel comfortable at the dentist:

  • Start early: Introduce your child to the dentist at a young age to help them become familiar with the environment.
  • Be positive: Express a positive attitude about visiting the dentist.
  • Practice at home: Make brushing and flossing fun and a part of your child's daily routine.
  • Ask questions: Feel free to ask our pediatric dentists any questions you may have about your child's oral health.

What are the benefits of choosing a pediatric dentist in Eugene for my child's dental care?

Choosing a pediatric dentist in Eugene offers numerous benefits tailored specifically for children. Pediatric dentists like those at Mission Dental are trained to address the unique dental needs of young patients, making dental visits more enjoyable and less intimidating. With a focus on creating a fun and friendly environment, our team in Eugene works to alleviate any fears your child might have about dental visits. Moreover, we incorporate education into our services, helping children learn the importance of oral health in a supportive atmosphere. By promoting positive dental experiences, we lay the foundation for a lifetime of good dental habits.

How can I maintain my child's oral health at home in Eugene?

Maintaining your child's oral health at home is crucial for their overall well-being. In Eugene, regular brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing are essential practices for keeping teeth clean and preventing cavities. Additionally, encouraging healthy eating habits—limiting sugary snacks and drinks—can significantly impact your child’s dental health. Involve your child in fun activities that promote oral hygiene, such as brushing games or educational videos. Don't forget to schedule regular dental check-ups with a pediatric dentist in Eugene, like the friendly team at Mission Dental, to ensure your child's teeth remain healthy and who also guide you in building consistent habits.

What types of preventive dental treatments are offered for children in Eugene?

Preventive dental treatments for children in Eugene include routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. At Mission Dental, we recommend that children have two dental cleanings each year to maintain optimal oral health. During these visits, our compassionate team will also provide fluoride treatments that help strengthen teeth and protect against cavities. Additionally, dental sealants can be applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent tooth decay effectively. By prioritizing prevention, parents can help ensure that children enjoy strong, healthy smiles while reducing the need for more invasive treatments later on.
