What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is a field of dental practice that is focused on working with children and their specific oral health needs. A child's bite and smile develop over a number of years, and pediatric dentists specialize in diagnosing and treating the issues that may arise along the way. From the eruption of their first tooth to preventing decay in milk teeth and ensuring their permanent teeth come in properly, a pediatric dentist is involved in every stage of dental development. Our team works with your child from infancy until they turn 21, offering the services and procedures they'll need to promote a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Why Should My Child Visit a Pediatric Dentist?

The specialized skill set of a pediatric dentist often involves more than cleaning a little one's teeth. Our compassionate team creates a welcoming and friendly environment so that your child feels as relaxed as possible. We know that children may feel intimidated about dentist visits, so we take the time to get to know them, give them a tour of the office, and show them the tools we use in a fun and engaging manner. Our team also uses digital x-rays as an easy way to introduce your child to the inner workings of their teeth, gums, and jaws.

Alleviating Dental Anxiety

Many adults struggle with dental anxiety, so it's no surprise that kids feel intimidated by the thought of seeing a dentist. At Healthy Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we go the extra mile to make sure your little one feels safe and has a great time during their appointment. We have the experience to provide both pediatric dentistry and orthodontic services for your child, which simplifies scheduling appointments and promotes trust. Your child will enjoy a consistent experience for their regular oral health needs as well as any orthodontic issues that may arise.

Sedation Dentistry For Kids

The idea of a dental procedure may seem scary for a child, and our team is passionate about creating a safe space for your little one. As such, we offer sedation dentistry to help your child feel calm and happy during dental procedures when needed. Whether you select nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or IV sedation for your kid, our focus is on maximizing their comfort. Some common pediatric services we pair with our sedation options include:

• Frenectomies
• Pulpotomies
• White fillings
• Crowns
• Extractions
• Spacers

Healthy Habits for Long-Term Oral Health

As your child ages, you will see them grow in height, awareness, and independence. However, the changes that happen as their milk teeth are lost, adult teeth emerge, and jaws finish developing can be difficult to monitor. Our team is here to help your child's smile develop beautifully and equip them with the education to care for their oral health at home. We teach your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth so that they are empowered to take responsibility for their personal hygiene.

Your child's biannual dentist visits give our team the opportunity to check for more than just cavities but also for any alignment issues with their teeth or bite. Should any malocclusions occur, we will walk you through the various treatment options to straighten your child's teeth or bite to improve their oral health and boost their quality of life.
