Children’s Dentistry in Massapequa, NY
Dental care is not a “one size fits all” practice, and children require unique treatment to accommodate their shaping and growing bodies and smiles. Our dentists at Sunrise Mall Dental Center are qualified and can help your children become comfortable with visiting the dentist, inform you about the best way to care for your child’s teeth and help your child grow with a healthy, strong smile.
Who Needs to See a Children’s Dentist?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends each child begin seeing a dentist as soon as they develop their first tooth or by the time they turn a year old. At Sunrise Mall Dental Center, we agree. Children require preventive care and treatment to help prevent future oral health problems like tooth decay, gum disease, overcrowding, and orthodontic issues. By starting at a young age, you can help your child grow with a healthy smile.
Type of Treatment Available
The majority of the procedures offered by dentists are restorative or preventive in nature. These treatments focus on stopping health problems from the beginning and treating any that do develop. Some dentists also offer emergency care like repairing a damaged tooth or treating a jaw injury. At Sunrise Mall Dental Center, you can choose from the following options:
- Exams and cleanings
- Fluoride treatment
- Dental sealants
- Diagnosis of oral conditions associated with other diseases (diabetes, hay fever, etc.)
- Early orthodontic assessment
- Care for dental injuries (broken teeth, jaw fractures, etc.)
- Habit counseling
After your initial visit to our office, our dentist will customize a personal treatment plan for your child to address their unique smile, as well as any concerns you might have moving forward.
