Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services in North Hempstead

Dental Check-ups and Examinations

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. During check-ups at our North Hempstead office, we:

  • Conduct thorough oral examinations to assess your child’s dental development
  • Monitor tooth eruption and jaw growth patterns
  • Identify potential issues before they become bigger problems
  • Provide guidance on proper home care techniques specific to your child’s needs
  • Use digital X-rays when necessary (with minimal radiation exposure)
  • Document your child’s dental progress with detailed records

Our North Hempstead pediatric dentists make examinations interactive and educational, helping children understand the importance of dental health while alleviating any anxiety they might feel.

Professional Dental Cleanings For Children

Even with excellent home care, professional dental cleanings remain crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Our gentle hygienists are specially trained to work with children of all ages and developmental stages. During your child’s cleaning appointment in our North Hempstead office, we:

  • Remove plaque and tartar buildup in hard-to-reach areas
  • Polish teeth to remove surface stains
  • Apply fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
  • Provide personalized brushing and flossing instructions
  • Make the cleaning process fun and engaging

Prevention is the cornerstone of pediatric dentistry. We offer comprehensive preventive services to North Hempstead children, including:

  • Dental sealants to protect cavity-prone molars
