Intraoral Cameras
To get a magnified look at smiles, we use an intraoral camera. This helps our team and parents understand exactly what’s happening in the patient’s mouth. The instrument is very small, only slightly larger than a pen, allowing it to fit comfortably into the smallest of mouths and capture highly detailed pictures of the teeth and gums. From there, we can display them on a nearby monitor and pinpoint problems for treatment discussion.
All-Digital X-Rays
There’s no denying it; radiation is everywhere, from the sun to our personal mobile phones we carry in our pockets. However, we also hear parents’ concerns when it comes to radiation exposure. That’s why our dental office exclusively uses radiographs when most necessary for diagnostic purposes. We adhere to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle in regards to X-rays. To accomplish this, we have digital radiograph sensors. This minimizes the amount of radiation necessary to negligible amounts. Keep in mind the amount of radiation from a set of dental radiographs is actually lower than the average daily dose of radiation you may experience day-to-day.
Laser Dentistry
With the Solea soft and hard tissue laser, we can eliminate harmful bacteria known for causing gum disease, prepare dental fillings, treat irritating aphthous ulcers, and even remove minor stains without the need for a drill or needle. While it may seem like something from the future, we’ve been using dental lasers for quite some time now at Sprout Dentistry for Kids of Allen. Treatments using it are made faster, pain-free, and more precise from start-to-finish. In fact, most children don’t even notice they’ve started the procedure until we have told them.
Electric Handpieces
We care deeply about making our patients as comfortable as possible. That’s why our handpieces are electric whenever we perform any number of dental procedures. As we use them, your child won’t notice any noise, vibration, or heat, all attributes common with other dental tools. This makes it easy for young patients to keep calm during treatment. These instruments are so gentle that local anesthetic often becomes unnecessary, meaning your child likely won’t have to deal with lingering numbness following an appointment.
Airway/Sleep Apnea Assessment
One of the most underdiagnosed disorders in the United States today is childhood sleep apnea. As a result, it can make children hyper, causing them to have difficulty concentrating. As a result, they can easily be misdiagnosed with ADHD. By performing an airway assessment, we can evaluate the risk they carry for having sleep apnea. We recommend that you bring your child in for a screening if they are frequently tired or fatigued, snore, mainly breathe through their mouth, or exhibit signs commonly associated with ADHD.
Radiation-Free Decay Detection Tool
With the help of our radiation-free decay detection tool, we catch the early signs of cavities, detect small amounts of decay inside teeth, and ensure greater accuracy when locating and tackling potential problems. This device effectively acts as a high-magnification intraoral camera as well, ensuring your child’s exams are more comfortable compared to traditional ones.
One-Visit Dental Restorations
In just a single appointment, we can repair a damaged or decayed tooth using one-visit restorations. These crowns work to restore a child’s smile and dental health in record time. We start by using our Solea dental laser or electric handpieces to prepare teeth quickly and painlessly. This allows it to receive a tooth-colored filling and is so gentle that we often don’t need to use local anesthetic beforehand. From there, we place the restoration that’s been specially colored to match your child’s teeth, making their cavity seemingly disappear.
