Our experienced pediatric dentist, Dr. Rebecca Day, believes that a personalized approach to dental care leads to the best results. Your child is one-of-a-kind, and their smile should be treated with special care!
We’ll take the time to understand your child’s needs before matching you with any of the following dental treatments.
Sunny Day Pediatric Dentistry provides the quality of care you and your family deserve. We bring you deep expertise in pediatric dentistry, years of experience, and modern techniques and treatments that promote a comfortable experience for your child.
At your little one’s regular check-ups and cleanings, our goal is to clean your child’s smile, as well as diagnose, treat or prevent any potential dental conditions. We’ll help you and your child develop the best techniques for at-home dental hygiene!
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a dental check-up every six months in order to prevent cavities and other dental problems.
A dental sealant is a preventive treatment that provides a protective barrier for the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Sealants block food, debris, plaque and acid from reaching the areas of the teeth that are prone to decay.
If your child is at risk of developing cavities, we may suggest dental sealants.
Pediatric dental restorations include fillings, dental crowns, and baby root canals. A dental restoration may be necessary if a cavity forms or is left untreated and causes considerable damage to teeth.
If your little one requires a dental restoration, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and explain the entire process in detail!
Dental extractions may be performed on baby teeth or adult teeth. In cases where teeth are damaged due to decay, injury or infection, extracting the tooth or teeth can help to restore dental health and prevent further damage or complications.
We offer calming treatments, including nitrous oxide inhalation, in-office conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia in a hospital setting, to help reduce your child’s dental anxiety and create a comfortable atmosphere!
The alignment of your child’s teeth can affect their quality of life, in both bite function and self-esteem. In cases of dental misalignment, where teeth are crowded or crooked, or there isn’t sufficient room in the mouth for permanent teeth to emerge and grow in alignment, interceptive orthodontic treatment can help guide the proper eruption of teeth.
Not every child requires orthodontics. If Dr. Day determines that your child would benefit from orthodontics, she may refer you to an experienced local orthodontist!
A frenectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the frena from the mouth. (The frena is the tissue that connects the tongue to the mouth, as well as the upper lip to the gums.)
In cases of tongue-tie or lip-tie, when the tongue or upper lip cannot move properly, this can contribute to a number of issues with growth and development.
We use an advanced laser approach for frenectomies, because it’s less invasive, quicker and gentler for your little one!
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a minimally invasive dental treatment that helps combat tooth decay in primary teeth. Applied as a liquid, SDF halts the progression of cavities by killing harmful bacteria and strengthening the tooth structure.
We provide Opalescence Go trays as a hassle-free solution for at-home dental bleaching. These pre-filled, disposable trays use professional-grade bleaching gel to effectively and safely remove stains and brighten teeth in a short amount of time.
We offer four different types of sedation to help little ones relax before and during dental procedures.
