Children’s Dentistry Killeen
Early Starts to Encourage a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
Experts strongly recommend scheduling your little one’s first appointment as soon as their first tooth erupts or before they reach the age of one. While it might seem unnecessary to start this process at such an early age, Dr. Alvi and our team can use this visit and all subsequent appointments to build a relationship with your child. This will help them become more comfortable in our office while we make sure their teeth, gums, and bite are in the best possible shape. Call us today to schedule their next appointment with our friendly and compassionate team.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids
Whether your child still has their primary teeth or their adult ones are firmly in place, regular six-month dental exams and cleanings remain a pivotal component in maintaining good oral health at a young age. Our team will closely examine their teeth and gums while also monitoring the development of their bite, identifying any variances that might require orthodontic or complex treatment later on. You can trust us to also provide a professional cleaning to remove any plaque and tartar and give your child’s pearly whites a beautiful shine.
Dental Sealants
As your child continues to hone their oral hygiene skills, you may notice they struggle to clean those hard-to-reach areas of their mouth, such as their molars and premolars. Without regular care and cleaning, these teeth can become subject to decay and cavities. With dental sealants, though, we can apply a clear, protective coating over the chewing surfaces so that harmful bacteria and food debris cannot penetrate. With a lifespan of nearly a decade, sealants can be one of the most effective preventive solutions for children while they perfect their brushing techniques over time.
Athletic Mouthguards
Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field, or even wrestling can all be great ways for your children to remain active and excited about competition. They’re also potentially harmful if you don’t equip your little one’s smile with proper oral protection. With the help of a custom athletic mouthguard, we can deliver a comfortable appliance your child or teenager can wear during gameplay. Its ability to withstand excessive pressure while also minimizing the possibility of serious damage can keep your child out of the emergency dentist’s office and on the field.
