Preventive Treatments for Children

Protect Young Smiles Before Problems Start

The Best Dental Care for Kids Is Preventive Care

Cavities and gum issues are common in children — but with the right prevention, they don’t have to be. At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we provide effective, age-appropriate preventive treatments to help kids avoid decay, preserve their natural teeth, and grow up with healthy, confident smiles.

Our focus is simple: stop problems before they start. Whether it’s fluoride to strengthen enamel, sealants to block out bacteria, or home-care coaching to support parents — we give your child the tools they need for lasting oral health.

What Are Pediatric Preventive Treatments?

Preventive dental treatments are proactive steps we take to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease — especially during childhood, when oral hygiene habits are still developing. These services include:

We personalize every treatment plan based on your child’s age, cavity risk, and oral health goals.

Why Prevention Matters So Much for Kids

Children’s teeth are more susceptible to cavities due to:

Weaker enamel compared to adults

Less consistent brushing and flossing

Diets higher in sugary snacks or drinks

Still-developing motor skills and oral hygiene habits

Preventive care reduces the risk of painful, costly problems — and builds positive dental experiences for the future.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Visit
