Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry is a specialty that provides fundamental and extensive preventive and curative oral health care, especially for children. Pediatric dentists treat various dental diseases among infants, toddlers, and adolescents, including those that need special health care. They take the responsibility to make patients feel as comfortable as possible and educate them and their parents on the importance of preventive oral health care and oral health in general.

The best age for a child to have their first visit to the dentist is as early as one or two years old. Parents may feel this is too early, but many pieces of research show that children can start to get cavities at a young age. If you wait too long for the first visit, this can give any early decay a chance to increase since it has not yet been treated. With Glen Park Dental, you can be sure that your child's oral health is well maintained while growing up to enable them to develop good oral hygiene habits all through adulthood.

A child should be able to develop good oral hygiene habits as early as possible. Dental care for babies and toddlers is critical. With our comprehensive expertise, we ensure to provide your child comfortable care and to help them develop an understanding of the importance of proper oral hygiene.

Step 1: Proper Brushing Orientation

On your first visit with us, our dentist will instruct you and your child on how to floss and brush their teeth correctly. They will also inform you of various foods your child can eat to keep tooth decay and gum diseases at bay.

Here at Glen Park Dental, your child's smile is precious to us. That is why we guarantee to provide not only gentle care but also outstanding treatments and professional expertise. We strive to make each appointment one that is enjoyable and positive, while addressing your child’s specific needs.

Step 2: Dental Care

The first step to taking care of your child's dental health is first monitoring their teeth and bite, then performing fluoride treatments. We also conduct regular cleaning and sometimes, if need be, give them a preventative dental sealant to help protect their teeth from decay.

We Create a Positive and Comfortable Experience for Your Child 

At Glen Park Dental, you and your child's comfortable care and experience are our utmost priority. We assure you that your child is in a dental health care environment where people care about them and their needs. This means that your child can have a pleasant dental experience and you have nothing to worry about. During the initial visit, parents are welcome and encouraged to join oral hygiene education with their child, so their child's oral health involvement is more productive and helpful. 

We Offer an Individualized Dental Plan Specific to Your Child

During your child’s appointment, we will determine and design a dental plan specific to your kid's needs. We strongly believe that teamwork is everything when it comes to maintaining good oral health in children. Therefore, an effective dental plan curated by your dentists and consistent practice of good oral hygiene by your child at home with your constant involvement all work together for your child's oral and overall health. Our goal is to enable our young patients to ask questions comfortably and strive to achieve optimal oral health proactively.

When kids do not know what to expect from their dental appointments, they understandably get stressed out. Fortunately, pediatric dentists acknowledge and understand the kids' concerns and are professionally trained to handle them. They work hard to guarantee their young patients' utmost comfort. By ensuring that they are comfortable during their appointments, they are also more likely to be calmer and happier with regards to visiting the dental office moving forward.

What differentiates pediatric dentists from other dentists is that they are carefully trained to work with young jaws and teeth. Their specialty enables them to provide dental treatments that are relatively safer, more effective, and more comfortable for younger patients. Rest easy, knowing that your little munchkin is in the hands of someone who has the knowledge and skills to take care of their precious smile through adulthood.
