Pediatric Dentistry in Fairport, NY – Gentle Care for Growing Smiles

Why Is Pediatric Dentistry Important?

Children’s dental care goes beyond keeping their teeth clean—it lays the foundation for lifelong oral health. Our pediatric services are designed to:

• Prevent cavities and tooth decay.
• Monitor the development of teeth and jaws.
• Teach children proper oral hygiene habits.
• Identify and address potential dental issues early.

Regular visits to the dentist help your child feel comfortable in the dental chair and establish good habits for the future.

Our Pediatric Dentistry Services

We provide a range of pediatric treatments to protect and maintain your child’s smile:

• Routine Cleanings & Exams

Preventative care is essential for growing smiles. During your child’s visit, we’ll perform a gentle cleaning, check for cavities, and monitor their oral development.

• Fluoride Treatments

Strengthen your child’s tooth enamel and prevent decay with professional fluoride applications.

• Dental Sealants

Protect hard-to-reach molars from cavities by applying a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the teeth.

• Cavity Fillings

If a cavity is found, we use tooth-colored fillings to restore your child’s tooth while maintaining its natural appearance.

• Emergency Care

Accidents happen—whether it’s a chipped tooth or a dental injury, our team is here to provide prompt, compassionate care.

Creating Positive Dental Experiences for Kids

We understand that visiting the dentist can feel intimidating for children, which is why we take extra steps to create a positive experience:

• Gentle Approach: Our team is trained to work with kids in a kind, patient manner.
• Kid-Friendly Environment: We create a welcoming space where children feel comfortable and safe.
• Education-Focused Care: We teach your child about the importance of brushing, flossing, and making healthy dietary choices.

When Should Your Child Start Visiting the Dentist?

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts—whichever comes first. Regular visits every six months help us monitor their development and prevent potential issues.

How to Prepare Your Child for Their First Visit

A positive first experience sets the tone for future dental visits. Here are some tips to help prepare your child:

• Talk about the visit in a positive, simple way.
• Read children’s books about visiting the dentist.
• Let them bring a comfort item, like a favorite toy or blanket.
• Stay calm and encouraging to help them feel relaxed.
