OUR SERVICES
Smile Street Pediatric Dentistry offers a variety of treatment options depending on your child’s anxiety needs. Dental treatment for a child involves two paths of discussion:
☻ What type of dental treatment is required for your child?
☻ How we will manage the child’s anxiety to make them as comfortable as possible during treatment?
PATIENT AGE RANGE
We see infants, children and adolescents ages 1-18 years old. We advise scheduling for the first dental visit by 1 year old.

FIRST VISIT
We create a fun and welcoming environment for your child!
YOUR FIRST VISIT
A visual exam will be done depending on the age of your child. If the patient permits, an effort will be made to take diagnostic x-rays, depending on the needs. During the first visit, typically a set of full-mouth x-rays are taken to thoroughly assess the child’s developing oral condition.
A dental cleaning and fluoride application are also done at the first visit and at each check visit which should be every six months.
PREVENTIVE CARE VISITS
A preventive care visit is done bi-annually or every six months. X-rays are taken according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines.
A dental cleaning & fluoride are also completed. If cavities are diagnosed, treatment options will be discussed, and a treatment visit will be scheduled.
Remove: The Pediatric Dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school focused on infants, children, and adolescents.

SPECIALTY SEDATION
SERVICES
At Smile Street Dentistry, we believe that sedation is a safe option that allows us to give your child a positive experience at the dentist while addressing all of their needs in a single visit. We use a variety of sedation options to fit your child’s comfort level ranging from “laughing gas” or nitrous oxide to full IV sedation during which your child will remain asleep.

DENTAL
EMERGENCY
Dental emergencies can be the most disruptive types of emergencies! Dental emergencies can be classified as dental pain, facial swelling, or tooth trauma. We understand the urgent need to address an emergency that involves the mouth, teeth and gums. We offer emergency call access after hours, as well as next day/same day appointments to be seen. We also recommend that when indicated, dental treatment is addressed in a timely manner to prevent future dental emergencies.
