Pediatric Dental Services in Greater Philadelphia

Why Pediatric Dental Care Matters

Starting dental care early sets kids up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Regular visits help catch small problems before they become big ones, and teach children healthy habits they’ll carry into adulthood.

Our services are focused on educating children and families to develop healthy habits and prevent tooth decay, but when needed, we have the ability to repair and restore your child’s smile. We generally see patients every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings, unless your pediatric dentist recommends an alternative treatment plan.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends patients see their dentist by age 1, or shortly after their first tooth erupts. However, it’s never too early or too late to schedule a visit. Contact us today to put your child on a path toward a lifetime of excellent oral health.

Did You Know?

Every visit includes a gentle exam and cleaning, personalized care, and a friendly team that knows how to put kids at ease. We use the latest technology to keep care safe, comfortable, and efficient.

• Digital X-Rays – Safe, low-radiation imaging that gives our doctors a clear picture of your child’s oral health
• Dental Sealants  – this simple protective coating can preserve your child’s teeth by protecting against cavities and acting as a barrier from food and bacteria. For many children, sealants can be helpful in getting through the candy and sugar years. These protective coatings help prevent cavities from forming on the top surfaces of the teeth. Sealants are generally placed over the permanent molars as soon as they erupt into the mouth. This can be as young as six years of age. Baby teeth can also be sealed if your child is cooperative and at high risk for developing decay.
• Tooth Extractions are only performed when removing a tooth is the best option for restoring the health of a patient’s mouth. Our team makes the process as gentle and comfortable as possible.
• Nitrous Oxide is often administered during operatory appointments to help anxious kids relax during their visit with no lasting effects after the appointment.
