Dental Services in Schenectady, NY
Pediatric Dentistry
We’re pleased to provide dental care for your entire family. Young smiles require a special touch to promote a positive experience and foster a lifetime of oral health awareness.
For cavity prevention, Dr. Lieberman recommends dental sealants and fluoride treatments. A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of a tooth. It creates a smooth surface that is easier to clean. Fluoride treatments are another powerful cavity deterrent. If your children drink bottled water instead of tap water, they might not be getting the fluoride they need for strong, healthy teeth. Fluoride bonds with other minerals to deter tooth decay and strengthen teeth.
As a general dentist , Dr. Lieberman provides orthodontic treatment for his young patients with misaligned teeth and bites. For children as young as six or seven, interceptive orthodontics can eliminate teeth crowding to promote the emergence of permanent teeth in their ideal positions. Functional orthodontics is appropriate for teens. We use an acrylic and wire appliance similar to a retainer to encourage proper teeth and jaw alignment. Sometimes traditional braces or Invisalign is required after functional orthodontic treatment.
