Pediatric Dentists in Hartland Wi | Bailey Family Dental

 Bailey Family Dental Of Hartland Wi, has pediatric dentists available for the children's dentistry needs of your family. 

Infants and Children Dentistry

Hartland Pediatric Dentists

Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to establish good home care, a teeth-healthy diet, and accustom your child to the dental office and spot any problems before they become big. Your young child's first visits will be with Dr. Terese Bailey for an examination, cleaning, diet and home-care discussion.  Your child will typically be in your lap for

their first dental visits.  We strive to make these visits enjoyable for you and your child.  As your child grows older and more confident, they will be scheduled with one of our caring hygienists for their dental visit.

 Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to spot any problems before they become big concerns.
 
 A problem that can be spotted early is a condition called "baby bottle tooth decay," which is caused by sugary substances in breast milk and some juices, which combine with saliva to form pools inside the baby's mouth.

If left untreated, this can lead to premature decay of your baby's future primary teeth, which can later hamper the proper formation of permanent teeth.

One of the best ways to avoid baby bottle tooth decay is to not allow your baby to nurse on a bottle while going to sleep. Avoid dipping pacifiers in sweet substances such as honey, because this only encourages early decay in the baby's mouth. Encouraging your young child to drink from a cup as early as possible will also help stave off the problems associated with baby bottle tooth decay.

Teething, Pacifiers and Thumb-Sucking

Teething is a sign that your child's gums are sore. This is perfectly normal. You can help relieve this by allowing the baby to suck on a teething ring, or gently rubbing your baby's gums with the back of a small spoon, a piece of wet gauze, or even your finger.

For babies under the age of 4, teething rings and pacifiers can be safely used to facilitate the child's oral needs for relieving gum pain and for suckling. After the age of 4, pacifiers are generally discouraged because they may interfere with the development of your child's teeth.

Moreover, thumb-sucking should be strongly discouraged because it can lead to malformed teeth that become crooked and crowded.

Brushing
Begin brushing your baby's teeth as soon as they erupt. We recommend that you help your child brush their teeth until the age of eight to ensure that the plaque and bacteria are cleaned from their teeth each day.
Remember to use small portions of toothpaste (a half pea-sized portion is suitable).

Fillings
If your child has cavities that need to be filled, do not worry.  Children do very well sitting through treatment at our office. They get to watch a favorite movie during treatment and we usually use Nitrous Oxide/laughing gas for  children as it  helps to ensure that their treatment visit will be pleasant.  This helps the child develop a life-long positive attitude towards dental care, which is a wonderful gift to give to your child. 

Primary and Permanent Teeth
Children typically have 20 primary teeth, usually by the age of 3. These teeth are gradually replaced, by the age of 12 or so, with a full set of 28 permanent teeth, and later on, four more molars called "wisdom teeth."

It is essential that a child's primary teeth are well cared for and healthy, because their development sets the stage for and holds the space for permanent teeth. If primary teeth are lost prematurely, then the space will be lost.  This will crowd out space reserved for permanent teeth.  Space maintainers and orthodontics can be used to maintain and regain space,
  

Tooth Sealants Hartland Wi

Sealants 

Sealants fill in the little groves on the chewing part of your teeth to protect and seal the tooth from food and cavity-causing bacteria. Sealants are easy to apply and typically last for years.

 Toothaches 
 
If cavities in primary teeth (baby teeth) are not treated they can become large enough to affect the nerve inside the teeth causing infections and toothaches.  If this happens to your child, please contact us and we will treat the tooth and infection, and get your child feeling healthy and happy again.

Injuries

You can help your child prevent oral injuries by closely supervising him during play and not allowing the child to put foreign objects in the mouth.


For younger children involved in physical activities and sports, mouth guards are strongly encouraged, and can prevent a whole host of injuries to the teeth, gums, lips and other oral structures.

 TIPS for injured Teeth

If a tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket right away. Remember to hold the dislocated tooth by the crown-not the root. If you cannot replace the tooth into the socket, then place the tooth in a container of cold milk, saline or the victim's own saliva. Call our office immediately.
For a fractured tooth, please look and find the pieces that have fractured off.  We can often use them to repair the tooth.  Call our office at 262-369-8633 immediately.

First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold cloth or compress on the cheek near the injury. This will keep down swelling.

For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again, apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down swelling.

If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary, restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.

If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from the gum.

What Expectant Moms Need to Know about Oral Health | Hartland Wi Dentist

What Expectant Moms Need to Know about Dental Care, Hartland Wi Dentists Bailey Family Dental

Congratulations! In a few months, you're expecting a new baby... but, in the mean time, your body is adjusting to nausea, weight gain, food cravings, and a hundred other changes. Is this really the time to worry about your teeth and gums?

Yes and no — don't worry, but do be aware of a few basic facts about your oral health and your pregnancy, and how they affect each other.

Being pregnant may make your teeth and gums more sensitive. It also puts you at greater risk for some periodontal diseases, like pregnancy gingivitis (“gingival” – gum tissue; “itis” – inflammation of) and benign growths on the gum called “pregnancy tumors.” You may think these problems are just uncomfortable, but you should really have them evaluated as soon as they develop. Why?

Once upon a time, it was believed that periodontal (gum) diseases just affected the mouth. Today, we think these diseases and their associated bacteria may be involved with the whole body, playing a role in cardiovascular ailments, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and other illnesses.

What's more, recent studies suggest that these oral bacteria may be able to cross the placenta, stimulating an inflammatory response that may lead to preterm delivery. Babies who are born pre-term often have low birth weight, and are at greater risk for a number of health complications. That's one reason why maintaining good oral health is so important to expectant moms.

So, what should you do? First of all, keep in mind that maintaining your own general and dental health is the best thing you can do for your developing baby. Eat a balanced diet, keep up healthy habits — like limiting sugary between-meal snacks and brushing regularly — and don't put off visiting your dentist to get your dental cleanings. Those cleanings and a thorough evaluation can set your mind at ease and give your baby the best chance at a healthy start.

If you would like more information about pregnancy and oral health, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles “Pregnancy and Oral Health,” and “Expectant Mothers.”

Emergency Dentist Hartland Wi | Bailey Family Dental

Do you have a Dental Emergency in Hartland WI?  Bailey Family Dental is available to help you if this occurs.  Contact us at 262-369-8633.
A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent, but quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.

 Dental Emergency Procedures Can Help Save a Tooth

• Handling a dental emergency can be tricky when you or a loved one is in pain, but a quick and appropriate reaction can help save a tooth in danger. The American Dental Association recommends that you become familiar with these dental emergency procedures just in case you ever have a dental emergency.
• If a tooth is knocked out, hold the tooth by the crown and rinse the root in water if it's dirty. Do NOT scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If you can, gently place the tooth back in its socket or store it in a cup of milk and head for the dentist (with the tooth) immediately.
• If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and apply cold compresses on your face to reduce swelling. Go to the dentist immediately.
• Treat a bitten tongue or lip by cleaning gently with a cloth and applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn't stop after a short time, seek immediate treatment from your dentist or emergency room.
• If a toothache is getting you down, rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove food that may be trapped around it and see your dentist as soon as possible. Do NOT apply aspirin to the tooth or gum tissues.
• A jaw injury or possible fracture needs immediate attention at your dentist's office or the emergency room. Apply cold compresses on the way to reduce swelling.
• If a loose or broken wire from your braces is irritating your mouth, cover the wire end with a small cotton ball, beeswax or a piece of gauze until you can get to the dentist. Seek immediate treatment if a wire gets stuck in the cheek, tongue or gum tissue, but don't try to pull it out yourself.

Dental Implants Hartland Wi | Bailey Family Dental

 Bailey Family Dental offers Dental Implants to patients in Hartland Wi and the Waukesha area including Oconomowoc.

Dental implants traditionally have a high success rate with numerous studies showing long-term success rates of over 95%. This is just one of the reasons they have been widely accepted as the best method for permanently replacing missing teeth. In fact, over-dentures, which are full dentures supported and stabilized by at least two dental implants, are now considered the standard of care by the American Dental Association (ADA) for people who have lost all of their teeth in one or both jaws. And while they have a high success rate, there are some factors that can compromise the success rates of implants.
These factors are generally divided into three categories: general health concerns, local factors, and maintenance issues.

• General health concerns: Your general health, lifestyle, and habits can play a major role in the success of dental implants. For example, smoking, diabetes, osteoporosis (porous bone) or a compromised immune (resistance) system can all negatively impact implant healing and success. And if you have a history of radiation treatment to your jawbones, you are at a higher risk for complications.
• Local factors: Some examples of local factors that can affect implant success include bone quality and quantity — having sufficient bone in the right place to accurately secure and locate the implants.
• Maintenance issues: While implants are excellent high tech replacements for missing permanent teeth, they do require routine maintenance. This includes daily cleaning and continued professional care. Otherwise, implants are just like any other technically sophisticated devices — they may be susceptible to breakdown.

Root Canal Hartland Wi | Bailey Family Dental

Root Canal Treatment at Bailey Family Dental

 Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime.  Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or diseased, it can often be saved through a specialized procedure known as root canal (endodontic) treatment.  Can my tooth be saved?  Endodotic therapy at Bailey Family Dental is done in a relaxed, stress free environment.

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is one of the areas of dentistry that Dr. Richard Bailey focuses on.  Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small threadlike tissue that was important for the tooth development.  Once removed, it is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting structures.  Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted.  Today, even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, it often can be saved through root canal treatment.  This is the area of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.

What is dental pulp?

The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue of a tooth.  It lies in a canal that runs through the center of the dentin- the hard tissue on the inside of the tooth that supports the outer layer of tooth enamel.  The crown (the portion of the tooth visible above the gums) contains the pulp chamber.  The pulp extends from this chamber down through the root canal of the tip of the root in the bone of the jaws.  Teeth have only one pulp chamber but may have more than one root and several root canals.

What happens if the pulp gets injured?

If the injured or diseased pulp is not removed, the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected, resulting in pain and swelling.  Even if there is no pain, certain substances released by bacteriacan damage the bone that anchors the tooth in the jaw.  Without treatment, the tooth may have to be removed.

Root Canals Waukesha and Hartland Wi | Bailey Family Dental

Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or diseased, it can often be saved through a specialized procedure known as root canal (endodontic) treatment. Can my tooth be saved?

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is one of the areas of dentistry that Dr. Richard Bailey focuses on. Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small threadlike tissue that was important for the tooth development. Once removed, it is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting structures. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted. Today, even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, it often can be saved through root canal treatment. This is the area of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.

The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue of a tooth. It lies in a canal that runs through the center of the dentin- the hard tissue on the inside of the tooth that supports the outer layer of tooth enamel. The crown (the portion of the tooth visible above the gums) contains the pulp chamber. The pulp extends from this chamber down through the root canal of the tip of the root in the bone of the jaws. Teeth have only one pulp chamber but may have more than one root and several root canals.

What happens if the pulp gets injured?

If the injured or diseased pulp is not removed, the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected, resulting in pain and swelling. Even if there is no pain, certain substances released by bacteriacan damage the bone that anchors the tooth in the jaw. Without treatment, the tooth may have to be removed.

Why coundn't you just remove the tooth?

There are many disadvantages to loosing a natural tooth. When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the adjacent teeth may begin to shift from their normal position. This may cause the teeth to become crooked or crowded, which decreases biting and chewing efficiency. Crowded or crooked teeth may be more prone to gum disease because they are harder to keep clean than properly aligned teeth. A replacement tooth (an implant or bridge) is usually more expensive than endodontic treatment and can involve more extensive dental procedures to adjacent teeth. A natural tooth is normally better than an artificial tooth.

What does treatment involve?

Treatment usualy involves from one to three visits. During treatment, Dr. Bailey removes the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) area then cleaned, shaped, filled and sealed off from the bone surrounding the root. In case of considerable tooth structure loss, a metal or plastic rod or post may be placed in the root canal for support, and a crown is usually placed over the tooth.

What material will be used for the crown?

Crowns are made from a number of materials. Gold allots or nonprecious alloys, porcelain or ceramic, acrylic or composite resin or combinations of these materials may be used. The type of material used for the crown will depend on a number of factors including where the tooth is located in your mouth, the color of the tooth and the amount of natural tooth remaining. One of the things we will discuss with you is which options are best for your individual situation.

How long will my restored tooth last?

As long as the root(s) of the treated tooth is nourished by the tissues around it, your tooth can remain healthy. However, the tooth could still become decayed, so good oral hygiene at home and regualar dental exams are necessary to help prevent both tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease.

Dental Emergency | Bailey Family Dental | Waukesha

 Bailey Family Dental is available for Dental Emergencies in the Waukesha, Hartland, and Oconomowoc area's.  If A dental emergency occurs with your child feel free to contact us.

Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. Knowing how to handle a dental emergency can mean the difference between saving and losing your child’s permanent tooth. For all dental emergencies, it’s important to take your child to the dentist or an emergency room as soon as possible.
Here are some tips if your child experiences a common dental emergency:

• For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your child’s cheek and gum, or in milk. Call your dentist right away.
• For a cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down.
• If your child bites his tongue or lip, clean the area gently and apply a cold compress.
• For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between the teeth. Do not put aspirin on the aching tooth or gum tissues.
• For objects stuck in the mouth, try to gently remove with floss but do not try to remove it with sharp or pointed instruments.
