Preventive Children's Dentistry in Miami

Preventive dentistry involves regular checkups, cleanings, and treatments designed to prevent dental issues before they arise. For children, these basic steps help them avoid cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems that can affect their comfort and well-being.

At Adonias Smiles Dentistry in Miami, FL, prevention also includes patient education—for children and parents—that helps establish good oral health habits. The earlier we make these steps part of their usual routine, the better the chance they will carry them into adulthood for a lifetime of excellent oral health.

Dr. Paula offers a comprehensive suite of preventive treatments in Miami and recommendations designed to protect your child's oral health and foster a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here's a closer look at each service and its benefits:

Silver Diamine Fluoride — If your child has early signs of tooth decay, SDF is a noninvasive treatment we use to prevent it from progressing and protect vulnerable areas of the teeth. By applying SDF, Dr. Paula can help minimize the need for more invasive treatments later.

Fluoride Treatments — Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens teeth and makes them decay-resistant. Dr. Paula applies a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish to tooth enamel to remineralize it and prevent cavities. Regular treatments are especially beneficial if your child is at high risk for cavities.

Dental Sealants — These thin coatings protect teeth with rough chewing surfaces that can harbor bacteria and lead to cavities. We apply dental sealants for kids to molars and premolars to create a smooth surface where bacteria can't hide and makes them easier to clean. 

Sports Mouthguards — If your child participates in sports, a custom-fitted mouthguard is essential to absorb impact and help reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth. Dr. Paula provides custom sports mouthguards that fit comfortably and offer optimal protection.

Diet and Nutrition — Good nutrition supports a healthy smile. Dr. Paula explains diet's role in oral health and provides personalized recommendations to help you and your child make better choices.

Routine Dental Checkups — Regular dental checkups every six months are fundamental to preventive care. Thorough dental exams allow Dr. Paula to identify and treat potential issues. Routine teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to help prevent cavities and gum disease. These checkups allow Dr. Paula to tailor preventive care to your child's needs to keep their smiles healthy and bright. 

Education for Parents and Children — Dr. Paula loves creating an educational environment where children learn the importance of oral health. She makes learning about oral hygiene engaging for kids through fun demonstrations and interactive tools. Our dental team also provides practical tips and resources for parents. Dr. Paula is always available to answer questions to ensure you feel confident managing your child’s oral health.
