      With special focus on preventive care.

      In the early stages, cavities don't always cause pain or exhibit noticeable symptoms. That's why regular dental check-ups and preventive care are so crucial – they help steer clear of any painful or traumatic experiences for your little one.

      There are several ways to help protect your child from oral health problems, including fluoride varnish, sealants and routine dental cleaning. Sealants are a quick, safe, and pain-free way to shield your child’s back teeth from cavity-causing bacteria. Fluoride keeps your child's teeth strong and more resistant to decay. Routine dental cleanings help prevent the buildup of plaque and gum disease.

      Dental Treatments for Children

      Dental Sealants

      Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child's back teeth, acting as a barrier to provide extra defense against cavities.

      Fluoride Treatment

      Fluoride treatment for children is a quick, painless way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.

      Dental Treatments Under General Anesthesia

      Children unable to tolerate dental treatment due to age, anxiety, special needs, or extensive dental work may require general anesthesia for comfort.

      Conscious Sedation for Kids

      Laughing gas, a mild and safe sedative administered through a mask, helps children relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures.

      Endodontic Treatment for Children

      Endodontic treatment saves your child's natural tooth by removing infected pulp, cleaning the interior, and sealing it to prevent reinfection.

      Children’s Dental Crowns

      Crowns are recommended for children with badly decayed, fractured, or weak teeth, particularly after cavity treatments, pulpotomy, or pulpectomy.

      Space Maintainers

      Space maintainers are custom-made dental appliances designed to hold open the space created by a prematurely lost baby tooth.

      Habit Breaker

      Habit breakers help children break free from thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and other poor oral habits.

      Palatal Expanders

      Palatal expanders gently widen a child's upper jaw, creating space for proper teeth alignment and addressing bite issues.

      Silver Diamine Fluorider (SDF)

      Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a topical, non-invasive antimicrobial treatment that is clinically-proven to prevent and arrest dental caries (tooth decay).

      Pediatric Dentistry
      First birthday,
      first dental visit.

      The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend bringing your child to the dentist when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday—whichever comes first. Early visits help set the stage for healthy teeth and allow us to catch potential issues before they become bigger problems. After that, regular check-ups and cleanings every six months are key for monitoring growth and preventing cavities, so your little one’s smile stays healthy and bright for years to come.

      When to Consult
      a Pediatric Dentist?

      Ensuring your child’s oral health is essential for their overall well-being. If you notice any of the following symptoms or behaviors, it’s important to schedule a visit with a pediatric dentist promptly:

      Pain or difficulty while chewing or swallowing

      This may indicate cavities, infections, alignment problems, or jaw-related concerns.

      Sore or tender gums

      Swollen, red, or tender gums may be signs of gum disease.

      Mouthbreathing, thumb or finger sucking, or pacifier use

      These habits can affect jaw development and alignment, potentially leading to bite issues or crooked teeth.

      Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

      Trauma to teeth requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and ensure proper healing.

      White, brown, or black spots on the teeth

      This could indicate early stages of decay or enamel demineralization.

      Bad breath (halitosis)

      Persistent bad breath may signal gum disease, cavities, or an abscessed tooth that requires urgent care.

      Pediatric Dentistry FAQs

      You can use any soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head. These are especially designed for infants and must be used at least once a day before bedtime.

      Since baby teeth eventually fall out, why should we care for them?

      Primary teeth are important because they help your child to speak properly and chew normally. These baby teeth also prepare the space when it’s time for the permanent teeth to grow.

      If my child has a toothache, what’s the best immediate remedy?

      Rinse the affected area with warm salt water and apply a cold compress on your child’s face in case it is swollen. You can give your child some over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief. Avoid placing aspirin on the kid’s teeth or gums. And of course, visit your pediatric dentist as soon as possible.

      When should I start using toothpaste for my child?

      From birth, you can begin cleaning and massaging your child’s gums with a soft infant toothbrush or a clean cloth with water. As soon as the baby teeth erupt, you can start applying a smear of fluoride toothpaste on the child’s toothbrush.

      When the child turns 3, you can increase the amount to a pea-sized dollop and make sure you assist him/her while brushing. Make sure to let your kids spit out the excess toothbrush after brushing.

      How do I prevent baby’s cavities caused by nursing or bottle feeding?

      If your child needs to nurse to fall asleep, refrain from putting anything other than water in their feeding bottle. In case your baby falls asleep while feeding, remove the bottle when he/she stops sucking. Slowly introduce your child to drinking from a cup at six months. Make sure to regularly brush and floss your kid’s teeth as soon as two primary teeth are touching.

      If your child has been thumbsucking and using the pacifier for a long time, this might cause some problems on the way their teeth would line up. While most kids stop these habits on their own, your pediatric dentist may recommend a mouth appliance if your child finds it difficult to stop the habit.

      How do I ensure a teeth-friendly diet for my child?

      When you prepare your child’s meals, make sure to include one serving of each: fruits and vegetables, bread and cereals, milk and dairy products, as well as meat, fish and eggs. Limit the serving of sugary and starchy foods to protect your child’s teeth from decay.

      Dental sealants are used to protect the crevices of the chewing surfaces of the teeth. These prevent any food particles from getting stuck on teeth which may eventually cause cavities. Your pediatric dentist may recommend dental sealants as a painless and preventative way to protect your child’s teeth for a long time.

      • ❝Dr. Theresa is amazing and handled very well my 7-year-old daughter who is petrified of doctors and fixed a cavity with no problem up and zero drama. Connected very quickly with her and spoke in a very calming yet not condensing way. I also took my son to her for a simple extraction that went very well and very fast. She is very professional and personable.❞
