Exton Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry

We love Kids … . And it shows!
Our dentists, hygienists and office staff are totally committed to making your child’s visit to the dentist not only pleasant, but actually, Fun!

Infants, children, and young adults have special physical and psychological needs. Their developing bodies need a focus on preventative care even more so than with adults. Problems identified and treated in childhood and adolescence can effect a lifetime of either good or poor dental health.

A child’s first visit to a dentist, especially, should be as positive an experience as possible, and, at Exton Pediatric Dentistry, that begins as each new patient walks through the door! You will always find a child friendly and caring staff that begins a relationship right at the front office reception area.

Since we are committed to making children comfortable at the dentist, teens are a breeze!

Besides a caring and compassionate staff, we use every modern technology to make your visit here as comfortable as possible and that can be quite comfortable. Some patients love Nitrous Oxide as a total relaxant while still being awake.

Your teeth need preventive care and serious dental issues need to be addressed with competence.

Preventive dental care includes regular exams (every 6 months) and cleanings to remove plaque and tartar. During these routine visits we also do periodontal charting to ensure the health of your whole mouth area.

Preventive care can also include dental sealants and fluoride treatments which the American Dental Association says is for kids as well as adolescents. The combination of these simple and inexpensive procedures has an amazing ability to prevent most cavities from ever happening. When you consider the costs and inconvenience of root canals, extractions and replacement options, preventing cavities is a sound investment in oral health and peace of mind.

Metal-free resin fillings are much better looking than the old mercury fillings and also bond better with your remaining tooth making it stronger and less likely to develop fissures where cavities can begin. Natural colored resin fillings also are less sensitive to heat and cold.

Our dental procedures for adolescents also include cosmetic bonding and teeth whitening.
