Our preventative dentistry helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, protecting your child’s healthy and beautiful smile.
Dental sealants are a preventative measure that helps protect your child’s teeth from decay. The sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay is most likely to occur. This coating creates a barrier that stops plaque and food from sticking to the teeth.
Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children with a higher risk of tooth decay, such as those with deep grooves or pits in their teeth.
Eric Batterton, DDS, along with our team of experienced dental professionals, will perform a comprehensive exam to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. We will also clean your child’s teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease.

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that is used to replace missing teeth. The bridge is anchored by natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap and is custom-made to fit your child’s mouth.
Dental bridges can restore your child’s ability to chew and speak properly, as well as improve their appearance by filling in the gap left by missing teeth.
Sometimes, a tooth may be so damaged or decayed that it cannot be saved. In these cases, a dental extraction may be necessary. At Eric Batterton, DDS, we make every effort to ensure that your child’s extraction is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. After the tooth is removed, we may recommend replacement options such as a dental implant or bridge to restore your child’s smile.
At Eric Batterton, DDS, we use tooth-colored filling materials, such as composite resin, to repair cavities. These materials blend in with your child’s natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking repair. Dental fillings can restore the function and appearance of your child’s tooth and prevent further decay or infection.
Whether your child needs preventative care, restorative treatment, or cosmetic enhancement, Dr. Eric Batterton has the solution for you. Call our office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Batterton and give your child the gift of a healthy and beautiful smile!
