At Preston Center Pediatric Dentistry, we take pride in offering exceptional care tailored to the unique needs of our young patients. Your child’s oral health is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for all children.
Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the oral health of infants, children and teens. It is designed to address the unique dental needs of young patients, including preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of dental issues. Pediatric dentists are specially trained to manage the emotional and developmental aspects of children’s dental care, ensuring a positive and comfortable experience. They also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices and dietary choices to promote long-term dental health.
Our pediatric dentist and team offer a number of services to meet your child’s oral health needs, including:
- Digital X-Rays

We recommend that you bring your child to our office every six months for a regular dental exam and cleaning. These routine visits are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health and for early detection of any potential dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease. Our skilled and gentle team is dedicated to ensuring that each visit is a positive experience. We take the time to explain procedures in a child-friendly manner and use techniques designed to ease anxiety and build trust.
During your child’s dental exam, our caring team will gently clean their teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing might miss. We will also check for signs of dental problems and provide personalized advice on how to improve your child’s oral hygiene routine. Our goal is to create a strong foundation for lifelong dental health.
In addition to regular checkups, it is crucial to instill good oral hygiene habits at home. Encourage your child to brush their teeth twice a day and floss daily. A balanced diet that limits sugary snacks and drinks can also help prevent tooth decay. We are here to support you with tips and strategies to make dental care a fun and integral part of your child’s daily routine.
We understand that building a positive relationship between your child and their dentist is important for fostering a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have about your child’s dental health or oral development.
