Your Kids Dentist In Lake Orion, MI
Our kids-friendly dental office is equipped with all of the things that little ones need to stay calm – and happy! – during their appointment. Each exam room features built-in televisions with Netflix so they can watch their favorite shows or movies in the dental chair.
Parents are not just allowed but encouraged to accompany their child during all examinations and procedures.
Here are some of our top kids dentistry services:
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
During your child’s first dental visit, Dr. Verrelli schedules in extra time to ensure that your little one’s visit is comfortable and fun. We use kid-friendly explanations to keep little ones calm and always provide plenty of education to help them learn to keep their teeth healthy in between visits!
Checkups and Preventive Care
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) advises that children be seen for a checkup every 6 months. Our kids dental team may suggest additional checkups if we discover multiple cavities or if your child is showing signs of early orthodontic problems.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our dental team provides care that is rooted in prevention, but even the healthiest smiles still suffer cavities from time-to-time. Orion Lakes Family Dentistry treat cavities with safe, mercury-free fillings that are tooth-colored and shaded to match their natural smile!
Dental Crowns For Children
If your child’s tooth suffers an oral accident, decay, or if a tooth is having trouble properly developing, Dr. Virrelli may recommend a dental crown to help seal it. Dental crowns replace the full external portion of the teeth, keeping them safe from developing infections in the future.
Tooth Extractions For Kids
If your child’s tooth is diagnosed with decay or if it is crowding other teeth, Dr. Verrelli may recommend a gentle tooth extraction. Our team will ensure that your child’s extraction is completely painless!
Is your teen experiencing pain in their third molars? Dr. Verrelli offers preventive wisdom tooth extractions, too!
Laughing Gas
If your child is anxious, has special healthcare needs, or just needs extra help staying calm and comfortable, Dr. Verrelli may recommend laughing gas. Laughing gas is a completely safe way to help children receive the dental care they need – free from anxiety or fear!
