Isolite System at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry

One of the most inventive technologies to come along in recent years, the Isolite system improves patient comfort and reduces procedure time at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry. At the system's core is a soft, flexible mouthpiece that protects a patient's tongue and cheek while aspirating fluid and oral debris. The bright LED light source illuminates the work area inside your mouth more easily and effectively than ever before. Isolite overcomes many of the obstacles that can make dental treatment more difficult for both the patient and the dentist.

Features of the Isolite System include the following:

• A soft, pliable material protects the patient's tongue and cheek in a comfortable manner during a procedure. This feature also prevents the patient from swallowing any loose particles.
• Numerous small holes in the mouthpiece that continuously suction to remove water and saliva.
• A protective shield the patient can close on, eliminating the strain of trying to keep the mouth open on their own. This creates a more relaxed feeling.
• Additional light to help your dentist view the work area.

We are also excited to announce that our new “teen room” area is now ready and available for our older patients to enjoy! With TV’s on the ceiling and equipment specific for the needs of our teen patients such as the Isolite, our older patients now have their very own space separate from our general recare area.

See you soon!

Twinky Star

Colored fillings help to add a unique, personal touch to child's smile. A colored filling in a primary tooth sparks the interest of children and increases their willingness to cooperate by allowing them to choose what color the filling should be, thus including them in the treatment planning process. The use of colored fillings for children can be a valuable motivational tool as well. The dentist’s explanation to the child that the fillings will continue to look good as long as the patient properly maintains them results in an overall improvement in oral hygiene.

TWINKY STAR is a safe, mercury free, state of the art filling material that releases fluoride to help in the fight against cavities. Twinky star fillings are designed specifically for primary teeth and make having fillings done fun! Twinky Star is available in 7 colors for your child to choose from: PINK, BLUE, GOLD, SILVER GREEN, ORANGE, LEMON, and BERRY.

Patriotic fun facts with Pearland Pediatric Dentistry!

On Monday, Dr. Clark, Dr. Reddy and team will be busy celebrating America's 235th birthday. And because we know our patients love fun facts, we thought we'd provide you with some fun facts about Independence Day! Have a great Fourth of July weekend everyone, and we'll see you next week!!

- Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776.

- An estimated 2.5 million people lived in America in July 1776. Today, an estimated 309 million people reside in the United States.

- The major objection to being ruled by Britain was taxation without representation, which meant that people didn't want to be taxed by a government that did not represent them.

- In 1941, Congress declared 4th of July a federal legal holiday. It is one of the few federal holidays that have not been moved to the nearest Friday or Monday.

- The stars on the original American flag were arranged in a circle to ensure that all colonies were equal.

- America's mascot, the bald eagle, can achieve speeds of up to 200 miles per hour when making a predatory dive. During a normal flight, bald eagles can travel up to 30 miles per hour.

- The American flag patch is backwards on U.S. Army uniforms. The reason? The blue field on the flag (the part with the stars) faces forward to symbolize carrying the American flag into battle.

- Someone who specializes in the history of flags is called a vexillologist.

- The word ‘patriotism’ comes from the Latin patria, which means ‘homeland’ or ‘fatherland.’

- According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans consume over 150 million hot dogs during their Independence Day festivities.
