Your Dentist for Children

Vital Smiles Georgia is your dentist for children. All of our employees, from the front desk staff, to the hygienists, to the dentists, specialize in the care of children. We offer children a comfortable dental experience in a fun environment.

We believe that the road to proper oral hygiene and a healthy mouth start in childhood –that’s why we work to educate your child about good habits as part of the care we provide.

You may notice that we use many kid-friendly dental terms throughout our site. We encourage you to use these same terms to familiarize your child with them. Dental drills, fillings, and crowns are much less scary when their known as Mr. Bumpy, Silver Star, and Prince/Princess Crown.

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

bottom-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.
