Teaching Dental Hygiene

At Vital Smiles Georgia, we understand that it can be difficult to convince your children that dental hygiene is important for their health. That is why we offer daycare presentations to educate children and parents about the importance of beginning good dental health habits at an early age.

Our dental hygiene presentations are fun for the whole family. We introduce the children to Marley, a friendly dinosaur. The children can dress up as the dentist with their own mask and gloves, and take turns brushing Marley’s teeth. We also demonstrate how other dental tools are used so children will not be afraid when they see them.

We offer these presentations because we are committed to our community and to ensuring that children receive the quality dental care that they need.  Additionally, we want to familiarize children with the dentist and get them comfortable with what we do in a fun and kid-friendly way.

Call our Albany office at 229-432-9555 for more information about the educational events we offeriene. We are here to help keep your children smiling, so contact us today!

Cleaning

bottom-cleaning

We keep your child’s teeth sparkling clean with the help of our electric tooth brush (a motorized prophy brush). We then apply bubbles (fluoride) to keep his or her teeth strong.

Filling Cavities

We use fun tools like Mr. Bumpy (our slow speed drill) to remove decay. Your child will then receive a silver star (filling), and the tooth will be good as new.

Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings used to prevent tooth decay. They fill in the tiny grooves of the tooth surface so that brushing becomes more effective.

X-Rays

We use a tooth camera (X-ray machine) to take pictures of your child’s teeth. This gives us a better look at his or her smile. Our Digital X-rays are state of the art, limiting radiation exposure.
