Your Child's First Dental Visit

Our team also understands it’s completely normal for a child to be unsure or nervous about their first dental visit, but our Fort Worth dental team is here to keep our patients at ease! Smile Team Pediatric Dentistry is designed to make your child comfortable and excited to visit the dentist.

Pediatric Dental Checkups

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) advises that children be seen for a checkup every 6 months. These visits allow Dr. Warcup to closely monitor new changes in your child’s mouth and ensure that you, as a parent, have the information you need to promote continued oral health in your child. Dr. Warcup may suggest additional checkups if your child is more susceptible to cavities, or if your child is showing signs of orthodontic problems.

Mercury-Free Dentistry

Mercury can be found in common dental materials. Mercury can be harmful to your child's overall health and can be released in small amounts into your child's body through amalgam dental fillings. That's why Dr. Warcup only uses mercury-free dental materials. Mercury-free composite dental restorations are more comfortable for pediatric patients and help support their overall health and wellness.

Fluoride Treatment

Dental fluoride treatments are safe and effective in decreasing the amount of cavities in children. Dr. Warcup often recommends tooth strengthening mineral treatments along with dental sealants to protect your child’s teeth. The minerals act as a shield for the tooth’s outer enamel and can actually reverse early dental decay in some children.

Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

Dr. Warcup typically treats our pediatric patients' cavities with custom-shaded, tooth-colored fillings that are always mercury-free.

Dental Bonding

Dr. Warcup can use dental bonding to cover minor damage to the teeth, including small chips or gaps. Dental bonding uses durable, tooth-colored materials in a non-invasive procedure that is always mercury-free.

Pediatric Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped coverings cemented to a badly damaged tooth to restore the shape and functionality of the tooth. Dr. Warcup might recommend a mercury-free, white zirconia pediatric dental crown for your child’s tooth if it has suffered moderate damage, a large cavity, or was broken or chipped due to trauma.

Sedation Dentistry

Once their dental treatment is over, the laughing gas sedative will be completely out of their system after just a few minutes. Laughing gas is widely considered to be low risk for patients of all ages. Our caring pediatric team will be here to control the amount of gas administered, to ensure our patients' optimal safety and comfort.
