Pediatric Dentistry

Your baby’s first dental checkup is an important milestone in her or his development. At Greenville Office on Cleveland Court, it is our goal to ensure that your child establishes a strong foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Skilled and experienced in all facets of dentistry for children, your pediatric dentist provides sensitive and compassionate care to make trips to the dentist engaging and stress-free. 

Around the time your child’s first tooth erupts, which usually occurs by her or his first birthday, it’s a good time to begin a program of oral care. Most children will have all twenty of their primary teeth by the time they are three years old. Maintaining the health of baby teeth is vital to your child’s oral and overall health, as these teeth serve as important placeholders for the permanent ones that follow as well as facilitate speaking and eating. At your baby’s first visit, the dentist will demonstrate how to clean and care for his or her teeth, and how to help your baby feel more comfortable throughout the teething process. We will also discuss how to prevent early pediatric dental illnesses, such as baby bottle syndrome and tooth decay.

As your child matures, we’ll show them how to clean and care for their smiles more independently. With proper brushing, a healthy diet and regular checkups, your child can enjoy the benefits of optimal oral health. At every examination, we track the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws. If any orthodontic care is needed to ensure the proper alignment of your child’s smile, our orthodontist is on hand to provide skilled and experienced care.  We strive to make every checkup a positive experience, keeping you and your child comfortable throughout the visit.

At Greenville Office on Cleveland Court, we provide the personalized attention and gentle, compassionate treatment your child deserves. Our pediatric dentist looks forward to meeting you and your child! To learn more or to schedule an appointment, give us a call today.
