Expert Pediatric Dentistry | Bohemia Dental Arts

What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. Pediatric dentists are trained to handle the unique dental needs of children and to provide care in a way that is comforting and non-threatening.

Importance of Pediatric Dental Care:
Early dental care is crucial for ensuring a lifetime of healthy smiles. Regular dental visits from a young age help prevent dental issues, promote good oral hygiene habits, and ensure proper development of the teeth and jaw. At Bohemia Dental Arts, we provide comprehensive pediatric dental care to help your child achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Our Pediatric Dentistry Services:

• Dental Cleanings and Exams: Regular cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. Our gentle and thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar, while our exams detect any potential issues early.
• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride treatments help strengthen your child’s teeth and protect them from cavities. These treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective.
• Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) to prevent cavities. Sealants are especially beneficial for children, as they help protect against decay in hard-to-reach areas.
• Cavity Fillings: If your child develops a cavity, our team provides gentle and effective fillings to restore the tooth and prevent further decay.
• Orthodontic Evaluations: Early orthodontic evaluations help identify any alignment or bite issues that may need to be addressed. We provide guidance and referrals for orthodontic treatment when necessary.
• Emergency Dental Care: Accidents happen, and when they do, our team is here to provide prompt and compassionate emergency dental care for your child.

Creating a Positive Dental Experience:
We understand that a visit to the dentist can be intimidating for children. That’s why we strive to create a positive and enjoyable experience for our young patients. Our friendly and compassionate team takes the time to explain procedures in a way that children can understand, and we use gentle techniques to ensure their comfort. We also offer a range of amenities to make the visit more enjoyable, including a child-friendly waiting area and fun distractions during treatment.

Preventive Care and Education:

Our team provides personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and diet to help your child maintain a healthy smile at home.
