Pediatric Dentistry

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

At Pearly Whites Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that a visit to the dentist can be an anxious experience for children and their families. That’s why Dr. Claudia and her team are dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate care in a comfortable and family-friendly environment. We strive to make every visit a positive experience for both kids and their parents. Our goal is to foster a lifelong love of dental health, making each visit a fun and educational experience. We believe in creating a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe and cared for.

Comprehensive Pediatric Care

Preventive Care

Regular checkups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments to keep your child’s teeth healthy.

Restorative Care

Fillings, crowns, and other treatments to restore teeth affected by cavities or trauma.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are a safe and effective way to protect your child’s molars from cavities. By applying a thin, protective coating on the back teeth, we reduce the risk of decay in those hard-to-reach areas.

Oral Health Education

We believe that teaching your child good oral hygiene habits is key. Our team will educate both you and your child on proper brushing, flossing, and diet to keep their smile bright and healthy.

Crowns

In cases of more significant decay or damage, we offer crowns to restore the tooth’s function and appearance, ensuring it lasts for years to come.

Pulp Therapy

For children experiencing deep decay or infection in their teeth, pulp therapy (also known as a baby root canal) may be necessary to save the tooth.

Space Maintainers

If a primary tooth is lost prematurely, we may recommend a space maintainer to keep the surrounding teeth in place and allow for proper eruption of permanent teeth.

Early Orthodontic Evaluation

If your child needs orthodontic treatment, we offer early evaluations to assess the timing of braces or other orthodontic treatments.

Emergency Care

Accidents happen, and if your child experiences a dental emergency, we’re ready to provide fast, effective treatment to address any issues.

Sedation Dentistry

To ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for relaxation during procedures, and oral sedation for more anxious patients, helping them feel calm and at ease throughout their treatment.
