Children's Dental Care
in Floral Park, NY

The following are some of the services we offer to keep your child's smile healthy and bright:

Dental Exams and Cleanings: Regular dental exams allow us to monitor your child's developing teeth and help reveal problems in their earliest stages, preventing them from progressing and becoming more serious. Dental cleanings, on the other hand, remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing your child's risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.

Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride helps strengthen your little one's teeth, making them more resistant to cavities. It also helps reverse early tooth decay by remineralizing the tooth enamel, which involves replenishing the minerals stripped by bacteria and acids.

Dental Sealants: The chewing surfaces of the back teeth, known as the molars and premolars, have tiny grooves and crevices that tend to trap plaque and food debris, making them prone to developing cavities. Dental sealants are thin protective coatings that provide a barrier against cavity-causing bacteria, significantly lowering tooth decay risk.

Tooth-Colored Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings offer a safe and effective solution to repair cavities. Our metal-free restorations are closely matched to your child's natural teeth, delivering strong, healthy, and seamless smiles.

Pediatric Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are durable restorations designed to encase weak, damaged, or otherwise compromised baby teeth. Stainless steel crowns offer a long-lasting solution for restoring damaged back teeth, restoring their health and function. Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, are natural in their appearance, which is why we typically recommend them for restoring weak or damaged teeth visible when your child smiles.

Pulpotomies and Pulpectomies: These procedures are designed to treat baby teeth with inner pulp inflammation or infection, similar to root canal treatments for adults. A pulpotomy involves removing damaged pulp tissues and applying a medicated material to promote healing. A pulpectomy, on the other hand, involves removing the pulp tissues, cleaning the root canals, and filling them with an inert material that's absorbed when the tooth falls out. The goal is to maintain an affected tooth until its permanent replacement is ready to come in.

Space Maintainers: Your little one's teeth act like placeholders, maintaining the space the permanent teeth need to come in their proper alignment. If a baby tooth falls out prematurely, the neighboring teeth may shift out of position, potentially leading to crooked teeth and a misaligned bite. Space maintainers help keep the space open until the adult replacement is ready to come in, reducing or even preventing the need for orthodontic treatment down the road.

Sedation Dentistry: We understand that some of our young patients are anxious about getting the dental care they need, especially if they require complex or lengthy dental procedures or if they have special healthcare needs. We are pleased to offer IV sedation, if required, to provide your child with anxiety-free care. Your Child's comfort, safety, and well-being are always our topmost priorities.
