Specialized Pediatric Screening
Oral Exams and Screening for Children in Bend, OR
Children’s oral health is vital to their overall well-being, and early detection of potential issues can prevent complications and ensure proper development. At Bend Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery, we provide specialized pediatric screening using advanced imaging technology to assess oral growth, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment for a happy and healthy smile.
Comprehensive Pediatric Oral Health Evaluations
We use state-of-the-art Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging to obtain detailed 3D scans of your child’s teeth, jaw, and facial structures. This allows us to:
- Assess Tooth Development – Identify impacted, missing, or misaligned teeth before they cause problems.
- Detect Infections & Growth Issues – Spot cysts, tumors, and infections that could affect oral health.
- Monitor Jaw & Facial Growth – Ensure proper development and early intervention if needed.
- Evaluate Permanent Tooth Eruption – Determine if permanent teeth are failing to come in properly.
When Should Your Child See a Specialist?
- Delayed or missing permanent teeth
- Pain or swelling in the jaw or gums
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Unexplained facial asymmetry or growth concerns
- History of dental trauma or infection
Early screening allows for timely treatment and prevents future dental complications.
