Children’s Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Similar to those performed on our adult patients, a child’s dental checkup and teeth cleaning includes digital X-rays, the removal of plaque and tartar, and a close evaluation of their teeth, gums, and bite. Our team will look for any changes that might indicate a problem with tooth eruption, bite misalignment, or even infection, delivering an action plan to mitigate the problem. We’ll also discuss ways to improve oral hygiene habits at home.
Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
Lip and tongue ties can significantly impact the development of infants. They may have difficulty breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, gaining weight, breathing, or even speaking as they get older. At Shea Dental of Scottsdale, we use a soft-tissue laser to release lip and tongue ties quickly and effectively. By addressing this issue, your baby can gain the complete mobility of their oral structures.

Non-Nutritive Habits
Our team understands that thumb-sucking and pacifier use can be hard habits to break for little ones. Although normal for infants and toddlers, these calming practices can become detrimental to growing smiles if allowed to continue. Instead of making this time in a child’s life more difficult, our dentists will work with you, the parent, to utilize positive methods to break these habits. In doing so, it reduces the chances of your child developing a misaligned jaw or an abnormal palate.
