Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry: Is Shapiro right for your child?
At Shapiro Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to treating your entire family – from the most senior members to the youngest! Early dental care gives your child a head start and sets them on the path to great oral health from the very beginning. Our pediatric dentists will instill a love of visiting the dentist from a very young age.
Children have different dental needs than adults, and we respect and understand that. A child’s mouth is constantly growing and developing as teeth come in and fall out and come in again, and keeping a close eye on these changes is crucial. This is the time to catch issues that could affect your child’s dentistry for the long run.
We make a special point of providing care for children that keeps them involved and takes advantage of their natural curiosity. We’ll explain what we are doing in terms that your children understand, and we are careful to use language that doesn’t cause fear. Dental anxiety is learned at a young age, and we want your child to grow up thinking that going to the dentist is fun and interesting!
We’ll get to know your child as a person and take time to understand them. This way, we’ll be able to tell when your child is feeling comfortable enough to let us proceed.
Most of your child’s dental care will be preventive. For example, we’ll clean their teeth, discuss home care with you so you can help them properly brush and floss at home, and look at issues that affect their dental development, such as bottle feeding and thumb sucking. As they grow, we can provide sealants, which prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the back teeth, and sport guards, which keep the teeth of young athletes safe.
If your child does need treatment, such as a filling or a crown, we will provide that treatment with gentle compassion and care for your child’s comfort.
