Pediatric Dentistry
At Serenity Family Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, we believe that a child's early experiences with dentistry can shape their attitude towards dental health for life. That's why we are dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and fun environment for our youngest patients. Our goal is to ensure that every child leaves our office with a bright smile and a positive outlook on dental care.
Preventive Care: The Foundation for Healthy Smiles
Our pediatric dental services are centered around prevention and education. We understand that good oral health starts at home, and we are here to support parents and children in establishing healthy habits early on. During your child's visit, you can expect:
- A review of your child's medical and dental history.
- A gentle examination of your child's teeth that includes checking for any signs of decay or abnormalities.
- A thorough cleaning to remove any plaque buildup.
- Recommendations for fluoride treatment if necessary to strengthen young teeth.
- Advice on whether dental sealants might be beneficial to protect against cavities.
- Guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to your child's age and development.
The American Dental Association recommends getting your children started in a dental routine as early as one year old or within six months from when their first teeth begin to show.
Whether your child is one or 17 or somewhere in between, we recommend bringing your kids in for regularly scheduled checkups. Your children will receive the kindest of pediatric care. At your visit, our hygienists and dentist will meet with you and your child.
When Dental Emergencies Happen
While we focus on prevention, we understand that accidents happen. Our team is equipped to handle dental emergencies with compassion and efficiency. We strive to address urgent needs without causing additional stress, ensuring your child's comfort and safety.
