Preventive dentistry lays the foundation for lifelong oral health. At Steiner Ranch Pediatric Dentistry, we use gentle techniques and advanced technology to help stop dental concerns before they start. Our goal is to support healthy, confident smiles at every stage of childhood.
Preventive care goes beyond clean teeth. It is about protecting your child’s overall health and creating positive dental habits that last a lifetime. By focusing on prevention, we can detect concerns early, avoid unnecessary treatment, and make every visit calm and supportive. From your child’s very first dental visit to routine cleanings and sealants, our team is here to help them feel confident, comfortable, and proud of their smile.
Preventive dentistry is one of the most important investments you can make in your child’s health. Regular visits help reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease while building trust and familiarity with dental care.
Positive dental experiences help children feel comfortable and in control during visits. Preventive care also reinforces the importance of brushing, flossing, and healthy nutrition.
With modern tools such as digital X-rays and early cavity detection, we can identify concerns before they become painful or require more extensive treatment.
Staying ahead of dental issues often means fewer fillings, crowns, and extractions. This allows your child to keep more of their natural smile and enjoy gentler care.
We would love to welcome your family. Book online or call today to schedule your child’s first preventive visit.
Our gentle and thorough exams allow us to monitor your child’s oral development and identify concerns early. We use low-radiation digital X-rays designed for pediatric patients to capture clear, accurate images while keeping safety a top priority. These visits help us track changes over time and build a complete picture of your child’s oral health.
Our team uses kid-friendly tools and techniques to remove plaque and tartar while teaching children how to care for their teeth at home. Every cleaning includes a polish and encouragement along the way. Cleanings are an important step in preventing cavities and supporting healthy gums.
Custom-fit mouth guards help protect your child’s teeth, lips, and jaw during sports and physical activities. Compared to store-bought options, custom guards offer better comfort, protection, and fit. They also make it easier for children to breathe and speak while playing.
Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They help block out food and bacteria that can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-clean grooves. The process is quick, painless, and can protect your child’s smile for years.
Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments are safe, fast, and tailored to your child’s individual risk level. They are an effective way to reduce cavity risk, particularly for children with a history of decay.
For families who prefer a more holistic approach, we offer remineralizing alternatives that support enamel health without traditional fluoride. These options are safe, effective, and selected to meet a variety of wellness preferences.
Silver diamine fluoride is a non-invasive treatment that can stop small cavities from progressing without drilling or numbing. It is especially helpful for young children or patients with special healthcare needs. The application is quick and can help manage decay in baby teeth comfortably.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits help build trust and allow us to monitor oral development from the start.
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services such as exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and X-rays. Our team is happy to review your benefits and help you understand your coverage.
We typically recommend an exam and cleaning every six months. For children at higher risk of cavities, we may suggest more frequent visits to help maintain optimal oral health.
