With this regularity, our dentists and their team of dental hygienists and assistants can work to prevent dental problems from happening. Aside from the standard exam and cleaning, we may recommend fluoride treatments and dental sealants. Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens enamel, so kids have a better chance in the battle against tooth decay. Dental sealants are applied to second molars, which usually erupt sometime between the ages of 11 and 13, to create a hard, plastic barrier against decay-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n<h2>Children\u2019s Dentistry including Orthodontics<\/h2>\n<p>Although some dentists do offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherfordfamilydentist.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> (which we have, too), our practice offers traditional orthodontics, including early interceptive functional orthodontics to treat problems early and help children avoid extensive treatment later.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Our Office Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to make an appointment with the children\u2019s dentist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherfordfamilydentist.com\/contact-us.html\">Weatherford, TX,<\/a> relies on for dentistry and orthodontics, call <strong>Cosmetic &amp; Family Dentistry<\/strong>.
