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
A sealant is a protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces (grooves) of the back teeth (premolars and molars), where four out of five cavities in children are found. This sealant acts as a barrier to food, plaque and acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of the teeth.
Space Maintainers
A lower lingual arch is a space maintainer for the lower teeth. It maintains the molars where they are, it does not move them. This is fabricated by placing bands on the molars and connecting them to a wire that fits up against the inside of the lower teeth. It keeps the molars from migrating forward and< prevents them from blocking off the space of teeth that develop later. This is used when you have the early loss of baby teeth or when you have lower teeth that are slightly crowded in a growing child and you do not want to remove any permanent teeth to correct the crowding.

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
A pulpotomy removes the diseased pulp tissue within the crown portion of the tooth. Next, an agent is placed to prevent bacterial growth and to calm the remaining nerve tissue. This is followed by a final restoration (usually a stainless steel crown).
Root Canal Treatment
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.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Jaw Surgery
Doing orthodontic treatments in two steps provides excellent results often allowing the doctor to avoid removal of permanent teeth and jaw surgery. The treatment done when some of the baby teeth are still present is called Phase-1. The last part of treatment after all the permanent teeth have erupted is called Phase-2.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
Arizona Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is a pediatric and orthodontic dental office located in Phoenix and Chandler, AZ serving infants, children, teens and children with special healthcare needs.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Dr. Jenny Sun is a Gilbert native. She attended Arizona State University for her undergraduate study in Biochemistry. She continued on to dental school at Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine, where she fell in love with orthodontics. So she spent two additional years specializing in orthodontics, and treated a variety of cases, including extractions, impactions, Invisalign, and orthognathic surgeries. Her passion for orthodontics also stems from personal experience. She did not wear her retainers well, so she had to get her teeth straightened three times! She truly recognizes the importance of daily retainer wear, and appreciates the value of having a beautiful smile. The best part of her job is when she sees the joy and confidence that shine through her patients’ smiles when they complete orthodontic treatment.
Braces
Research has shown that serious orthodontic problems can be more easily corrected when the patient’s skeleton is still growing and flexible. By correcting the skeletal problems at a younger age we can prepare the mouth for the eventual eruption of the permanent teeth. If the permanent teeth have adequate space to erupt they will come in fairly straight. If the teeth erupt fairly straight their tendency to get crooked again after the braces come off is diminished significantly. After the permanent teeth have erupted, usually from age 12-14, complete braces are placed for final alignment and detailing of the bite. Thus the final stage of treatment is quicker and easier on the patient. This phase of treatment usually lasts from 12 – 18 month and is not started until all of the permanent teeth are erupted.

General Dentistry
Dr. Hughes-Carey, a native of Altadena, CA, received her dental degree at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN in 2005. She completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of New Mexico in 2006. After completing her AEGD, Dr. Hughes-Carey worked two years in San Luis, AZ as a general dentist for the National Health Service Corp. She then continued her training and completed her Pediatric Residency from UNLV in 2010. Dr. Hughes-Carey is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the National Dental Association. She enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her interests include sports, dancing, Special Olympics, and church activities.
