Pediatric Dentistry ​in Somerville, MA

Pediatric Dental Care at Every Stage

From a child's early teeth through the teenage years, dental care should adapt to changing oral health needs.

First Dental Visits

Early visits help children become familiar with the dental environment while allowing parents to receive guidance about brushing, diet, and healthy oral habits.

Dental Care for School-Age Children and Teens

As children grow, their dentist can continue monitoring cavities, tooth development, oral hygiene, and orthodontic needs. Gentle Dental includes orthodontics among its pediatric services.

Treating Cavities and Damaged Teeth in Children

When a child develops decay or damages a tooth, treatment depends on the tooth involved and the extent of the problem.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Gentle Dental provides tooth-colored fillings as part of its pediatric dentistry services to restore teeth affected by cavities.

Pediatric Crowns

A crown may be recommended when a child's tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. Crowns are also included within Gentle Dental's pediatric treatment options.

Pediatric Dental Emergencies in Somerville

Tooth pain, dental trauma, or a broken tooth can also affect children. Gentle Dental's pediatric services include emergency care for tooth pain and dental trauma, and the Somerville office offers emergency dental services.
