Laser Dentistry

Does your child get nervous around drills and sharp tools? We understand, and that’s why we offer laser dentistry as a quieter, gentler alternative. This innovative treatment helps us address cavities, remove soft tissue, or clean around the gums with significantly less discomfort and sometimes may be able to skip the local anesthesia which most kids are terrified by.

Laser dentistry offers several benefits that make it an ideal choice for children:

Less pain: Since lasers are gentle, they minimize the discomfort usually associated with traditional dental tools. 
Less need for numbing: Many treatments with lasers require minimal to no anesthesia, which reduces the need for numbing shots and the associated anxiety for parent and child. 
Faster healing: The precision of laser technology speeds up the healing process, helping your child recover more quickly. 
Shorter appointments: Because laser procedures are more efficient, appointments tend to be shorter, making them
easier for both kids and parents.

Parents often express surprise at how easy and stress-free the experience is for their child. We use laser dentistry when it's the right fit for your child’s needs, and we always make sure to keep you informed every step of the way.

Extractions

Baby teeth don’t always fall out on schedule. Sometimes, they become problematic—either blocking the eruption of permanent teeth or causing pain. In such cases, extractions may be necessary. At Bubbles Pediatric Dentistry, we ensure that extractions are as quick and stress-free as possible.

We’ll walk you and your child through what to expect, using calming techniques and making sure your child is comfortable throughout the process. If your child feels anxious or has special needs, we may recommend sedation to help the visit go smoothly. Our gentle approach ensures that even a procedure as nerve-wracking as an extraction is done in the least stressful way possible, with a focus on your child’s comfort and care.

Frenectomies

Tongue-ties and lip-ties are conditions that can affect how babies eat, speak, and even breathe. At Bubbles Pediatric Dentistry, we offer frenectomies using soft tissue lasers for fast, precise treatment with minimal bleeding and downtime. This method ensures a smooth and effective procedure for children, making recovery quicker and easier.

Some signs that your child may need a frenectomy include:

Difficulty during breast or bottle feeding

Excessive spit ups during breast or bottle feeding

Speech delays 

Difficulty moving the tongue in different direction 

A gap between the front teeth

Discomfort of some soft tissue areas

No findings until dental exam! 

If any of these signs are present, we will carefully evaluate your child and explain all available options. If treatment is needed, it usually takes only a few minutes, and most kids are back to their normal routine later that day.

Frenectomies with soft tissue lasers are quick and minimally invasive, helping your child feel better without significant downtime.

Hospital Dentistry

In some cases, children may need care in a hospital setting, a surgery center, or in clinic under general anesthesia. This could be recommended based on a child’s age, behavior, extensive complex needs, medically diagnosed behavioral challenges or complex physiological conditions, etc. We collaborate with local hospitals, surgical centers, and in office Medical anesthetist group to safely treat children under general anesthesia when indicated.

More details would be shared with your family if indicated for your child.
