Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards

Does your child play on a local sports league or school athletics team? Invest in the most reliable protection for their smile with a custom-made sportsguard from our team at Rauchberg Dental Group. These mouthguards are crafted from comfortable, cushioning acrylic and are specially made to fit perfectly within your child’s mouth, allowing them to give their all on the field or court.

Dental Sealants

Cavities are pesky oral health problems that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates impacts one in 10 children between two and five years old, and one in five children between six and eight years old. Our team can help ward off the threat of decay by protecting your child’s teeth with invisible dental sealants. All we do is brush a clear liquid over the surface of your child’s molars and harden it using UV light. It will block off all of the nooks and crevices of their molars to prevent food and bacteria from accumulating in them, helping keep cavities from forming.

Frenectomies/ Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment

Lip and tongue ties involve the overgrowth of the tissue that connects the lips to the gums and the tongue to the floor of the mouth, called frenum. These bands of tissue can develop to be too thick or long, affecting your child’s ability to comfortably nurse, eat food, speak, and even sleep. Dr. Rauchberg and our multi-specialty team offer laser frenectomies to treat this issue. By using a soft tissue laser, our team is able to eliminate the need for surgical scissors and provide a more comfortable, effective, and precise treatment overall for your child.

Non-Nutritive Habits

Thumb and pacifier-sucking are completely natural and healthy habits for children to develop; however, by the time your child turns four years old, their smile is in its peak period of growth. This means that the constant suction and pressure created by non-nutritive habits past four years old could permanently alter their dental alignment and development. That’s why our team at Rauchberg Dental Group is here to help provide you with tips and tricks to help break thumb-sucking habits.

Pulp Therapy

Is your child complaining of a painful toothache that won’t go away? This is often caused by an infection that has found its way deep within the tooth, in the inner chamber where the pulp (a collection of soft tissues and nerves) is located. Our team at Rauchberg Dental Group can help erase the pain by removing the infected portion of the pulp and fortifying their tooth with a protective crown until it falls out naturally.
