Pediatric Dentist in Fayetteville, NC

‍

At A Smile Spa, we provide a relaxed, welcoming, and fun environment for patients of all ages, and we're proud to provide comprehensive pediatric dentistry for children from infancy through adolescence.  

Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services and Treatments

Good pediatric dental care places a strong emphasis on preventative dental care designed to maintain optimal oral health while fostering healthy development, supporting age-appropriate patient learning, and creating positive associations with dental care.  

We provide young patients with the following comprehensive pediatric treatments and services:  

• Prophylaxis Cleanings - Our dental hygienists use specially sized dental tools and a gentle touch to thoroughly clean and polish our patient's teeth, removing accumulated calculus that increases the risk of tooth decay, dental caries, and periodontal disease.  

• Dental Examinations and Gum Evaluations - Our dentist carefully examines the teeth and gums, looking for any potential early signs of oral health issues to ensure prompt treatment and resolution.  

• Digital Dental X-Rays - Digital dental X-rays allow us to monitor patient development and screen patients for signs of oral health problems that are not visible to the naked eye.  

• Dental Sealants - We recommend dental sealants for patients of all ages with permanent molars. Dental sealants cover and protect the chewing surfaces of molars, making them easier to clean and less susceptible to tooth decay.  

• Topical Fluoride - Professional fluoride treatments can reverse the early stages of tooth decay, helping to remineralize teeth, strengthen tooth enamel, and prevent cavities.  

• Orthodontic Evaluations - Patients should have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. These evaluations provide parents with vital information regarding their child's development. We can help you determine whether or not your child might need orthodontic treatment in the future while also providing interceptive orthodontics to minimize the need for future treatment.  

• Patient Education - Each dental appointment is an opportunity for your child to learn more about the importance of caring for their teeth. We'll teach your child useful brushing and flossing techniques in addition to providing them with other strategies (such as eating a healthy diet) for keeping their teeth and gums healthy.  

• Child-Friendly Sedation - We offer child-friendly sedation dentistry that is safe for children while helping them relax in the dental chair. Sedation dentistry can be beneficial for children undergoing lengthy, invasive, or complex treatments in addition to children who have special needs.  

• Restorative Dentistry - While we focus on preventative care, we also provide comprehensive restorative treatments to address and resolve oral health issues if they occur.  

Essential Pediatric Dental Care Tips

Know When to Schedule Your Child's First Visit

A child should have their first dental visit when their first tooth erupts or by the time they turn one year old - whichever occurs first.  

Keep up With Ongoing Dental Care

Most children visit the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and examination. If your child has ongoing orthodontic or oral health concerns, more frequent visits might be necessary.  

Practice Oral Hygiene at Home

Practice will help your child build healthy habits and good oral hygiene techniques. Work with your children every day, helping them take good care of their teeth at home in between dental appointments.  

Help Your Child Be Happy at the Dental Office

We welcome young patients to visit our office and get familiar with their surroundings before their first official appointment, and we provide a variety of comforting items to encourage relaxation in the dental chair.

We also encourage parents to help their children develop positive associations with dental care by offering positive reinforcement and having relaxed conversations about the importance of dental care. You can even help through play by playing dentist with your child and letting them take the doctor's chair.
