Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services We Offer
Preventive Care
Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health, especially for children. At our Burlington pediatric dental office, we focus on early prevention to stop dental issues before they start. Our preventive services are designed to protect your child’s smile as they grow.
Regular Check-Ups
We recommend dental check-ups every six months to monitor your child’s oral health, catch early signs of cavities, and ensure proper development of their teeth and jaw.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t reach. They also teach children the importance of oral hygiene in a fun and engaging way.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer safe, effective fluoride treatments during regular visits to give your child extra protection.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help prevent decay in hard-to-brush areas and are especially effective for school-aged children.
Restorative Treatments We Offer
When cavities, injuries, or other dental concerns arise, our Burlington pediatric dental team offers gentle, effective restorative treatments tailored to children’s needs. Our goal is to restore oral health while keeping your child comfortable and confident throughout the process.
Tooth Fillings
We use tooth-colored, BPA-free composite fillings to repair cavities and restore function without compromising your child’s smile. Our minimally invasive techniques ensure a quick and comfortable experience.
Crowns for Children
For teeth with extensive decay or damage, pediatric dental crowns provide lasting protection. We offer both stainless steel and tooth-colored crowns, depending on the location and condition of the tooth.
Tooth Extractions
In cases of severe decay, infection, or crowding, we may recommend gentle tooth extraction. Our team prioritizes comfort, using child-appropriate sedation and clear communication to ease the process.
Sedation Dentistry Options
We understand that some children may feel anxious or fearful about dental visits. That’s why our Burlington pediatric dental office offers safe and gentle sedation options to help children feel calm and comfortable during their treatment.
Laughing Gas
Also known as nitrous oxide, laughing gas is a mild sedative that helps children relax while staying awake and responsive. It's administered through a small mask and wears off quickly after the procedure, allowing your child to resume normal activities the same day.
Other Sedation Methods
For children with higher levels of anxiety or those undergoing more complex procedures, we may recommend alternative sedation options such as oral sedation or IV sedation. Our team will review all available choices with you to determine the safest and most appropriate method for your child’s needs.
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies can be stressful, especially for children. Our Burlington pediatric dental team is prepared to handle urgent dental situations with care and compassion, ensuring your child receives prompt attention when it’s needed most.
Handling Dental Emergencies
From chipped or knocked-out teeth to severe toothaches or swelling, we provide immediate care to relieve discomfort and protect your child’s oral health. Our staff is trained to respond calmly and efficiently, helping both parents and children feel reassured during emergencies.
After-Hours Availability
We understand that dental emergencies don’t always happen during office hours. That’s why we offer after-hours guidance and support for urgent pediatric dental needs. If your child is experiencing a dental emergency outside of regular hours, our team is just a call away.
Your Child’s First Visit: What to Expect
Preparing for the First Appointment
We encourage parents to talk positively about the dentist and help their child feel excited for their first visit. Bringing a favorite toy or comfort item can help ease any nervousness. Our team also provides tips beforehand to ensure a smooth and happy experience.
Tour of the Office
During your child’s first visit, we’ll take them on a friendly tour of our Burlington office so they can get familiar with the space. From the colorful waiting room to the child-sized exam chairs, we make sure kids feel comfortable and confident from the moment they arrive.
Initial Examination Process
The first exam is gentle and designed to help your child feel safe. The dentist will count their teeth, check for early signs of decay, and evaluate bite and jaw development. We’ll also talk with you about brushing, diet, and growth milestones to support healthy habits at home.
