Smiles By Marcello
Welcome to Marcello Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, where we deliver the highest-quality dental treatments in Thibodaux. Our team of experienced professionals is committed to creating a positive and comfortable experience for your child while ensuring their oral health is maintained.
We offer various dental treatments specifically tailored for children, from basic preventive care to more complex procedures. The following are some different dental treatments we provide at our practice. We look forward to helping you achieve optimal oral health for your child!
Preventive Care
Preventive dentistry can help maintain good oral health. Our preventive care treatments are designed to keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy and prevent potential dental problems in the future.
One of our most common preventive treatments is regular dental cleanings. This involves removing plaque and tartar build-up from your child’s teeth, significantly reducing their risk of developing cavities and gum disease.
We also offer fluoride treatments to strengthen your child’s tooth enamel and prevent decay. Fluoride helps protect against acid attacks from bacteria in the mouth, keeping teeth strong and healthy.
Additionally, we provide dental sealants, a thin protective coating that we can apply to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth. This helps prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in the crevices of their teeth, reducing their risk of developing cavities.
Restorative Treatments
Despite the best preventive care efforts, children may still experience dental issues. We design our restorative treatments to repair any damage and restore function to their teeth.
We offer tooth-colored fillings for minor cavities that blend in seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth. These fillings restore the appearance of your child’s smile and protect against further decay.
In cases of more extensive damage, we offer dental crowns to cover and protect the entire surface of a damaged tooth. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure a comfortable and effective procedure for your child.
If your child experiences tooth loss due to injury or decay, we also provide space maintainers to prevent shifting of their remaining teeth and maintain proper alignment. These custom-made devices help guide incoming permanent teeth into their correct positions, preventing potential orthodontic issues in the future.
Orthodontic Treatments
At Marcello Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we also offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to correct misaligned teeth and jaw growth problems. We are experts in identifying and addressing these issues early on, which can prevent more severe problems from developing later in life.
We offer clear aligner therapy. These virtually invisible aligners are custom-made for your child’s specific needs and gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Clear aligners are a popular choice among teenagers, as it is easy to use and does not require any dietary or lifestyle changes.
Sedation Dentistry
We understand some children may feel anxious about visiting the dentist or undergoing dental procedures. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options to help children relax and feel at ease during treatment.
For example, nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a safe and effective mild sedative inhaled through a mask placed over your child’s nose. It helps them feel calm and relaxed while remaining conscious and able to communicate with our team. Or Intravenous (IV) sedation safely puts your child into a deep sleep thus alleviating any anxiety or fear associated with dental treatment.
Emergency Dental Care
We understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time. We offer emergency dental care services for urgent issues such as toothaches, broken teeth, and other dental injuries.
Our team provides prompt and effective care for your child. If your child experiences a dental emergency, please get in touch with our office immediately.
At Marcello Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we are committed to providing children with the highest-quality dental care in a welcoming and friendly environment. From preventive care to complex orthodontic treatments, we offer comprehensive services to meet all your child’s oral healthcare needs.
