Gentle Care for Growing Smiles

Children’s dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health care needs of infants, children, and adolescents. It encompasses a range of dental services tailored to the unique needs and developmental stages of young patients. Children’s dentistry plays a crucial role in promoting proper oral hygiene habits, preventing dental issues, and ensuring the overall well-being of children’s oral health.

What is Children's Dentistry?

Children’s dentistry involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental conditions specific to children. It encompasses a comprehensive range of dental services, including regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, cavity fillings, orthodontic assessments, and guidance for proper oral hygiene practices. The goal of children’s dentistry is to establish a positive dental experience for children, create a foundation for lifelong oral health, and address any dental concerns in a gentle and child-friendly manner.

How Does Children's Dentistry Work?

Children’s dentistry operates on the principle of providing specialized dental care that caters to the unique needs and sensitivities of young patients. Dr. Zemskova and our staff are trained to create a child-friendly and comfortable environment, using age-appropriate techniques and communication skills to ensure that children feel at ease during their dental visits.

During a children’s dentistry appointment, Dr. Zemskova will typically perform a comprehensive oral examination, assess the child’s dental growth and development, and identify any dental issues or concerns. She may also provide preventive treatments such as fluoride applications to strengthen the teeth or dental sealants to protect against cavities. If necessary, Dr. Zemskova may recommend further treatments such as fillings, extractions, or orthodontic intervention.
