Pedodontics is a dental science focusing on the treatment of children. At Drs. Nicolas & Asp, we encourage an early start when it comes to oral health. This specialized care helps children feel comfortable with dentistry; restores and maintains primary and permanent dentitions; assists in the prevention of dental caries and periodontal disease; and corrects difficulties of occlusion.

Sealants

Sealants are thin plastic coatings that seal crevices in permanent teeth and act as a physical barrier to prevent oral bacteria from collecting and creating the acid environment that allows tooth decay to develop. There is no pain involved in applying dental sealants.

Fluorides

The widespread use of fluoride provides the most effective decay prevention measure. Topical fluorides are professionally applied directly on the teeth in the form of toothpastes and mouth rinses. Topical fluoride reverses early decay by helping tooth enamel rebuild itself.
