Gentle early care creates healthy smiles. Pediatric dentistry is focused on caring for the teeth and gums of children from infancy through adolescence.
Is Your Child Due For a Visit?
Paramount dental offers a stress-free visit where we provide you with clear guidance and support while helping your child develop good habits and become comfortable with the dental experience.
What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry provides general and specialized dental services to children from birth to age eighteen. Parents typically bring their children into pediatric dentistry offices for routine exams, cleanings, evaluations of dental problems or concerns, advice on how to brush their teeth, and recommendations for dietary changes and other habits.
Choosing the right care
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| Your child needs a first dental visit | Infant or toddler exam |
| It is time for a routine checkup | Cleaning and exam |
| You want to help prevent cavities | Fluoride treatment or sealants |
| Your child has a toothache or sensitivity | Evaluation and child-focused treatment |
| Thumb sucking or bite habits are a concern | Habit guidance and monitoring |
What Visits Look Like
- Consultation – We welcome you and your child, and review their medical and dental history. We also evaluate your child’s teeth and gums in a friendly, informative, and non-threatening manner.
- Treatment plan – Clinicians and parents work together to develop a treatment plan which includes education on home care, dietary recommendations, and any additional preventative measures that may be necessary for your child.
- Follow-up – On regulalry scheduled visits, we track tooth growth, spacing, and habits that help your child maintain good oral health as they grow up.
Insurance Coverage and Fees
Insurance coverage varies depending on the plan that you have. Some plans pay for all aspects of preventive appointments and at least a portion of all procedures. At Paramount Dental we verify your insurance coverage prior to providing any service so that you are clear on any out-of-pocket expense required.
Care Your Family Can Trust
- Friendly staff. Our staff is extremely understanding and speaks in simple terms regarding every aspect of the dental experience. We are all committed to making sure your child remains relaxed throughout every step of their visit.
- Modern tools. Using Digital technology allows us to capture high-quality images of your child’s developing smile and helps us detect potential issues earlier than traditional methods of capturing images of your child’s mouth.
- Comfort options. A slow, friendly pace and clear explanations help reduce worry during visits.
