Preventive dentistry keeps your child’s mouth on a solid path for lifelong thriving oral health. Not only will this treatment give you peace of mind, but it can also help you avoid costly fillings and other dental treatments down the road. During your child’s preventive appointment, Dr. Lindsey will also check for any signs of oral development issues and recommend appropriate treatment steps if present.
Your child’s oral health habits will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Routine dental cleanings and oral exams ensure that you and your child can learn how to maintain better oral health and hygiene habits. Preventing cavities starts at home, so it’s important to listen to Dr. Lindsey and take her advice on how to properly care for your child’s mouth.
We pride ourselves on taking a customized, personalized approach to pediatric dental care. After Dr. Lindsey examines your child’s mouth, she and her team will conduct a cavity susceptibility assessment and develop a customized prevention plan based on your child’s oral health and individual habits. This ensures that your little one’s smile stays healthy for years to come!
If your child is overdue for a teeth cleaning, oral exam, and preventive care in Athens, we’re here to help!
We recommend that children get their first preventive exam by the time they reach their first birthday. This may seem early, but seeing the dentist routinely from a young age familiarizes your child with the process, ensures proper oral development, and helps you get answers to common pediatric oral care questions.
We provide cavity risk assessments as part of every exam. Our Athens team will also examine things like your child's diet, oral hygiene, enamel strength, and other aspects of their oral health to determine how susceptible they are to tooth decay.

Dental sealants are made of dental resin, which is applied directly to the back molars. This resin creates a strong barrier, preventing acid, sugar, bacteria, and food debris from causing cavities. With a proper oral care routine, sealants can last up to 5 years or more.
Fluoride treatments use a powerful, fluoride-rich compound that’s applied directly to your child’s teeth. This treatment helps the enamel fight back against cavities and keeps your child’s teeth strong and healthy.
Yes! Almost all dental insurance plans cover dental sealants and fluoride treatments for kids under the age of 18, but check with your carrier to ensure you’re covered.
