Services offered by SixOneSix Dentistry for Children are extensive and include: Preventative Dentistry: This is a core focus, aiming to prevent cavities and oral diseases through regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. They offer free "well-baby" visits for infants by their first birthday to establish a dental home early. Restorative Dentistry: For issues like cavities, they provide fillings, pediatric dental crowns for extensive decay, and nerve treatments to prevent tooth loss and spread of infection. They also utilize space maintainers when baby teeth are lost prematurely to guide permanent tooth eruption. Sedation Dentistry: Recognizing that some children may require additional support for extensive treatment or due to anxiety or medical conditions, they offer in-office IV sedation and in-office general anesthesia. For patients who may not qualify for in-office sedation, treatment under general anesthesia is available at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Special Needs Dentistry: The clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive oral health care for individuals with special needs, understanding their unique challenges and sensitivities. They focus on individualized care, home care techniques, and injury prevention, offering mild sedation or general anesthesia when needed.
