What Is Pediatric Preventive Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry addresses teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or infection and brings them back to full health, function, and appearance. At Kids Tooth Team Michigan's Fenton office, we take the most conservative approach available at every stage, using tooth-colored materials and modern techniques to repair what is damaged without removing healthy tooth structure unnecessarily. For families in Genesee County and the Southern Lakes area, we are the pediatric dental team that treats your child's smile with the same care you would.

Restorative Services at Our Fenton Office

Teeth Cleanings and Oral Exams

Our Fenton hygienists provide thorough, gentle cleanings every six months, removing plaque and tartar and polishing each tooth carefully. After the cleaning, one of our board-certified pediatric dentists performs a full exam covering the teeth, gums, tongue, and bite. Digital X-rays are taken as needed, and every visit includes an oral cancer screening. We review all findings with you clearly and completely before any next steps are discussed.

‍

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is one of the most effective and affordable tools in preventive dentistry. At our Fenton office, we apply fluoride varnish at the end of each cleaning to strengthen enamel and help guard against decay between visits. For children who have an existing cavity but are not yet ready for a filling, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a no-drill option that stops decay from progressing. We discuss both options with families and recommend what makes the most sense for each individual child.

‍

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the grooved surfaces of back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form and hardest to clean. The application is quick and completely painless, and a properly maintained sealant can protect a molar for up to ten years. We routinely recommend sealants for Fenton children as their six-year and twelve-year molars come in, providing a strong layer of defense right from eruption.

‍

Space Maintainers

If a baby tooth is lost before the permanent tooth is ready to take its place, a space maintainer holds that gap open so surrounding teeth do not drift and cause crowding or alignment issues. Our Fenton team fits and monitors space maintainers as part of our commitment to supporting healthy, well-aligned development from early childhood onward.

‍

Establishing a Dental Home in Fenton

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends every child have a dental home in place by age one. For families throughout the Fenton Area Public Schools and Lake Fenton Community Schools districts, Kids Tooth Team Michigan is ready to be that home. We follow your child's growth across every visit, offer guidance at every developmental stage, and work to make each appointment something your child looks forward to rather than dreads.

Call Us
When should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first appointment by age one or within three months of the first tooth erupting. Starting early at our Fenton office gives your child the best possible foundation for a lifetime of healthy dental habits.

‍

How often should my child come in for cleanings?

Most children benefit from a visit every six months. Kids with a higher cavity risk or active developmental monitoring may come in more often. We will let you know at each visit what schedule makes the most sense going forward.

Do you accept Medicaid at your Fenton office?

Yes. Kids Tooth Team Michigan accepts Medicaid at our Fenton location, making consistent preventive care accessible for families throughout Genesee County and the Southern Lakes area.

‍

Are digital X-rays safe for children?

Yes. Digital X-rays produce a very small fraction of the radiation of traditional film, and we follow AAPD guidelines carefully. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary and appropriate for your child's age and risk level.

‍

My child goes to school in the Fenton Area Public Schools district. When is a good time to schedule?

We work with Fenton families to find appointment times that keep school disruption to a minimum. Early morning slots tend to work well for school-age kids, and our team is happy to help you find a time that fits your family's routine.

‍

What can we do at home to support preventive care between visits?

Brush twice daily with an age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and limit sugary snacks and drinks. These three habits combined with regular visits to our Fenton office give your child the strongest possible defense against cavities and gum disease.
