Dental Examination
X-rays

Fluoride Treatment
Your pediatric dentist may also recommend protective sealants or home fluoride treatments for your child. Sealants can be applied to your child's molars to prevent decay on hard to clean surfaces.
Dental Sealants
Patricia has been a part of our clinical team since June 2012. She received her Dental Assisting education from Advantages Dental Careers in 2001. She is certified in Coronal Polishing, Pit and Fissure sealant placement, Nitrous Oxide monitoring, CPR training, and completed training for Deep Sedation/General Anesthesia. Patricia also assists the doctors in same-day surgeries in St. Anthony’s Medical Center. Patricia spends her time with her family, and spends her summers in Tahiti wrestling alligators and searching for the perfect guacamole recipe (part of this statement may not be entirely true).

Fillings
Crowns
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth: If possible, find the tooth. Handle it by the crown, not by the root. You may rinse the tooth with water only. DO NOT clean with soap, scrub or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Inspect the tooth for fractures. If it is sound, try to reinsert it in the socket. Have the patient hold the tooth in place by biting on a gauze or clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, transport the tooth in a cup containing the patient’s saliva or milk, NOT water. If the patient is old enough, the tooth may also be carried in the patient’s mouth (beside the cheek). The patient must see a dentist IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth.

Pulpotomy
Dental caries (cavities) and traumatic injury are the main reasons for a tooth to require pulp therapy. Pulp therapy is often referred to as a "nerve treatment", "children's root canal", "pulpectomy" or "pulpotomy". The two common forms of pulp therapy in children's teeth are the pulpotomy and pulpectomy.
Root Canal Treatment
A pulpectomy is required when the entire pulp is involved (into the root canal(s) of the tooth). During this treatment, the diseased pulp tissue is completely removed from both the crown and root. The canals are cleansed, disinfected and, in the case of primary teeth, filled with a resorbable material. Then, a final restoration is placed. A permanent tooth would be filled with a non-resorbing material.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery

Orthodontics
Many hours of continuing education have been taken especially in Oral Pathology and training supported by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in orthodontics and growth and development. Dr. Lenahan is currently on the staff of Cardinal Glennon Memorial Children’s Hospital and St. Anthony’s Medical Center.
