Creating the proper foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
At Lil Pearls, the foundation of our practice is dental education and disease prevention. Dr. Fong is attuned to the daily struggles of parents, and understands that caring for your child’s teeth and limiting candy in their diet is no easy task. That’s why he tries to provide real-world, practical advice that can be implemented at home. During your child’s check-up and cleaning every 6 months, we encourage your child to develop healthy oral habits.
Our goal is for every patient to have a fun, educational and positive dental visit. We strive to foster a trusting relationship with parents and children in a compassionate and safe environment, and we hope to build long-term relationships with our patients and their families.
The Check-Up Appointment
Every six months, we recommend your child see the dentist for a thorough exam and cleaning. During this time, we try to detect dental problems early, so we can provide the proper care and prevention to eliminate future dental issues. Your child’s check-up appointment will include a professional dental cleaning, a fluoride application and possibly x-rays. We will also provide tips for you if your child has a sucking habit or has experienced trauma, and we will address any other dental concern you may have.
Sealants
An easy and painless way to defend your child’s teeth from cavities. A sealant is a thin, white barrier that prevents plaque and food from getting stuck in the grooves and crevices of the back molars, where most cavities are found. Sealants are great for teeth with deep grooves (where food can be hard to brush out), children with poor oral hygiene, children with a history of cavities, and those with a sweet tooth.
