< Back 23. What if my child needs a filling, crown or root canal? Fillings, Crowns and More! If your child has a cavity that requires a filling, we will explain the process to you and your child beforehand in age-appropriate language. Our goal is to make the procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During the visit, the dentist will gently remove the decay and fill the tooth using a child-friendly, safe material. Depending on your child’s age and comfort level, we may use local anesthesia or other calming techniques to minimize discomfort. After the filling, your child may experience mild sensitivity for a short time, but we’ll provide instructions for care and tips to keep the tooth healthy. Most children return to normal activities right away, including returning to school, and routine dental visits will help prevent future cavities. Tooth-Colored Fillings If your child needs a filling, one that is tooth-colored will blend in so well with other teeth, you’ll forget it is even there. Our tooth-colored fillings are made of a special resin that tightly bonds to the tooth, keeps it strong and also some of our fillings releases fluoride to help prevent cavities. Another advantage of a tooth-colored filling is that the dentist removes less of the tooth than when a “metal” (amalgam) filling is used. A tooth-colored filling doesn’t conduct heat or cold, or darken the way a metal filling can. It is no wonder tooth-colored fillings are the most widely used fillings today. We are very good at calming children and keeping their discomfort to a minimum when filling a tooth. We have fun kids programs for them to watch or they can listen to music through headphones. Crowns Dental crowns are used to cover a tooth that might be likely to break or is too damaged and decayed to be fixed with a filling. A crown is an aesthetic covering or a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over another tooth to provide it stability. Crowns are generally used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. When a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth, a crown is a good option. Crowns are also used to restore the shape and size of chipped or damaged teeth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using dental cement. We only recommend dental crowns for children when it is absolutely necessary. When a child needs a crown on a baby tooth it is usually a stainless steel crown Root Canal We may perform a root canal if a decayed tooth or deep cavity is causing pain to a child. The problem typically results from an untreated cavity that is now deep within the tooth. Inflammation from the cavity can cause discomfort and sensitivity. What is a Pulpotomy? This procedure is a nerve treatment in which the sick portion of the tooth nerve is removed and medicine is placed in order to avoid extracting the tooth. A baby root canal (pulpotomy) is similar to a root canal treatment of an adult tooth although much less invasive. It removes all the coronal pulp tissue from the chamber of the tooth. Pulpotomy procedures are very important to prevent the unnecessary and untimely loss of baby teeth. Remember, baby teeth are important to save in order to maintain adequate space for adult teeth. If baby teeth are lost prematurely, the rest of the teeth may begin to shift, causing crowding and reducing the space for adult teeth to grow in. If this happens, braces may be needed to properly re-align the teeth. Extractions In most instances, we want to save teeth for as long as possible. There are times, however, when removing a tooth is recommended. Teeth are removed for a wide variety of reasons including large decay unable to be restored, primary teeth that need assistance in exfoliating, orthodontic concerns, infection of the nerve tissues, etc. Dr. Tyler, Dr. Sean or Dr. Nate will clarify why an extraction is recommended in each case and how the space will be managed following the removal of the tooth. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 8. How long does a typical visit take? Dentist Appointments The length of a visit depends on your child’s age, the type of appointment, and what procedures are needed. Most routine checkups, including an exam, cleaning, and fluoride treatment, take about 30–45 minutes. For younger children or first-time visits, we may keep it shorter—sometimes just 15–20 minutes—to make the experience positive and stress-free. Longer visits may be needed for treatments like fillings, crowns, or sedation appointments, and our team will always give you an estimate ahead of time so you can plan your day. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 22. Do you offer fluoride treatments or sealants? Fluoride Treatments Yes! Sealants Sealants are a very popular, painless way to help keep your child cavity free. They are applied to back molars after a child has had a cleaning and exam, where 4 out of 5 cavities in children are found. A sealant is a resin based material that is painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth to act as a barrier for food, plaque and acid that causes decay. Sealants are practically invisible because they are clear or white and exactly match your child’s teeth. Even better, they take only a few minutes to apply, during one office visit, and they can protect your child throughout their cavity-prone years. Applying sealants is a comfortable procedure. The teeth are cleaned and prepped, and the sealant is painted on and hardened with a special light. Your child can drink and eat right away. Fluoride The natural mineral fluoride plays an important part in reducing tooth decay, so it’s important that your child get enough fluoride to reap its benefits. How does fluoride work? Bacteria in your mouth produce acid that removes minerals from the surface of your teeth. Fluoride can stop the tooth decay process by preventing the minerals in tooth enamel from breaking down. Because it is so effective, fluoride has been added to community water supplies since the 1940s, and today, more than 70% of cities with public water supplies have fluoridated water. Besides the water supply, an estimated 95% of toothpastes sold in the US contain fluoride. While a certain amount of fluoride is good for teeth, swallowing too much fluoride can cause a child’s teeth to develop lasting white spots, brown stains or problems with the enamel in permanent teeth. To prevent this problem, which is called dental fluorosis, parents should make sure their children do not get too much fluoride. Toddlers two to three years old, for example, can’t spit out toothpaste very well, and they might swallow too much fluoridated toothpaste. Certain foods also contain large amounts of fluoride. At the other extreme, your tap or well water might not have enough fluoride, or if your child drinks only bottled water, it may not contain fluoride at all. It’s important for parents to make sure their children get the right amount of fluoride, and we’re glad to advise you. If your child needs more fluoride than he or she is likely getting, we can give you a prescription to help. If we see your child is developing dental fluorosis, we can help figure out the cause and prevent further problems. --------------- Best place to get dental sealants for kids in Southern Utah?

< Back 32. What are the risks of pediatric sedation?

However, like any medical procedure, there are some potential risks, including: -Mild drowsiness or grogginess after the appointment -Nausea or vomiting in some children -Temporary changes in behavior (e.g., irritability or restlessness) -Rare complications such as breathing or heart rate changes — this is why we closely monitor vital signs throughout the procedure We take every precaution to minimize risk, including reviewing your child’s health history, choosing the safest sedation option, and monitoring them carefully before, during, and after the visit. Safety is always our top priority, and most children recover quickly and comfortably. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 30. How long does sedation last? Sedation Timeline The length of sedation depends on the type used: -Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) – Works quickly and wears off within minutes after the mask is removed, so your child can usually go home right after the visit. -Oral sedation – Can last a few hours. Your child may feel drowsy for a while afterward, so it’s important to plan quiet time at home. -IV or deeper sedation – May last longer depending on the procedure. Your child will be monitored closely until it’s safe for them to go home. We will always give you clear instructions about what to expect after sedation, including activity, eating, and supervision, so your child stays safe and comfortable. <<< Previous Next >>>

< Back 19. What should my child eat or drink before a visit?

A light, balanced meal helps your child feel comfortable and reduces hunger-related irritability. It’s best to avoid sugary snacks or drinks right before the visit, as they can make teeth feel sticky. Encourage water instead to help keep your child’s mouth clean and refreshed. <<< Previous Next >>>

New Patient Form PDF Download CLICK HERE to Print each JPEG Form separately on it's own. New Patients We will schedule appointments as soon as time permits and at your convenience. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they tend to be well rested and therefore more cooperative. This allows our staff to work more leisurely with the child for their comfort. School aged children that require extensive work should also be scheduled in the morning time for the same reason. While we understand that missing school is a concern, it can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is sustained. Appointment times are reserved exclusively for each patient, therefore we ask that you please notify our office at least two business days in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment. Other patients in need of our care could be scheduled if we have sufficient time to notify them. We do understand and realize that emergencies do occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard. If you do not call to cancel and fail to show as scheduled, you may be charged a broken appointment fee. Payment Options Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. We accept cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard and Discover, as well as debit cards which bear the Visa or MasterCard logo. Insurance Claims We file dental insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We do not have a contract with every insurance company, therefore, we are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We will assist you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment, but we cannot guarantee what your insurance will or will not do with each claim. What insurance plans do you take? We currently accept Arizona and Nevada Medicaid, and most PPO's (* We also accept most other insurances, If you have any questions please call for details). If you have any questions or concerns about your particular insurance plan, do not hesitate to contact the office. As a courtesy to our patients we will be happy to file a claim on your behalf but ultimately the responsibility for payment of the claim belongs to the patients. Please keep us informed of any insurance changes such as policy name, insurance company address, or a change of employment status. *IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE: Insurance providers we work with may change at any time and without notice. If you have any questions regarding your insurance provider, please contact our office at (435) 586-8188 - Thank you. Co-Payment You may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or reasonable fee ("UCR") used by the company. The data used to establish fees may be dated and are set by the insurance company so they can make a profit, too. Insurance companies set their own schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees. These allowable fees may vary widely because each company collects fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then uses this data to establish their fee schedule. Additional Financial Information Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. On average, most dental insurance plans pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some plans pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid may be determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company. If we have received all of your insurance information on the day of the appointment, we will be happy to file your claim for you. You should be familiar with your insurance benefits, as we will collect from you the estimated amount insurance is not expected to pay. By law your insurance company is required to pay each claim within 30 days of receipt. We file claims in a manner such that your insurance company will receive claims within days of the treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days, whether insurance has paid or not. If you have not paid your balance within 60 days, a finance charge of 1.5% or $5, whichever is greater, may be added to your account each month until paid. What kind of payment plans do you have? We expect all patient portions and deductibles to be paid when service is provided. We implemented and enforce this policy to keep costs down for each of our patients. Prior to treatment, our staff will provide an estimate of the treatment costs or co-pay. Usually the co-pay is a close estimate but in some cases an additional amount will be due. In the event extensive treatment plans are required, financial arrangements can be discussed. Do you offer any financing options? As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer Care Credit. With Care Credit you can finance 100% of your dental care and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no prepayment penalties. So, you can begin your treatment today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments. We also offer Lending Club, call us today for more information! Print each JPEG separately on it's own.

< Back 35. What is a lip tie? Lip Ties A lip tie happens when the thin piece of tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums (called the labial frenulum) is too tight or restrictive. This can make it harder for a baby to latch properly during breastfeeding, affect speech, or even create gaps between the front teeth as your child grows. Lip ties can vary in severity — some are mild and don’t cause problems, while others may need treatment to improve feeding, oral function, or dental health. Our team evaluates each child individually to determine whether a procedure, called a frenectomy, is needed. <<< Previous Next >>>
