Why Choose Pediatric Dentistry?

Children’s teeth require specialized care as they grow and develop. Early dental visits help:

✔ Prevent cavities and decay with routine cleanings and fluoride treatments
✔ Detect and address developmental concerns early
✔ Establish good oral hygiene habits from a young age
✔ Reduce dental anxiety and build confidence in the dentist’s chair

At Hessville Smiles Dentist, we make every visit stress-free, so kids feel safe and excited about their dental health!

Our Pediatric Dentistry Services

1. First Dental Visit & Routine Checkups
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by age one or when their first tooth appears. Our gentle checkups and cleanings ensure that their teeth and gums stay healthy while educating parents on best oral care practices.
2. Dental Cleanings & Preventive Care
Gentle Teeth Cleaning – Removes plaque and prevents cavities
Fluoride Treatments – Strengthens enamel and fights decay
Dental Sealants – A protective coating that shields molars from cavities
Oral Hygiene Education – Fun, engaging lessons on brushing and flossing
3. Cavity Prevention & Tooth-Colored Fillings
Even with good oral hygiene, cavities can happen. We use tooth-colored fillings to restore teeth discreetly, keeping your child’s smile healthy and natural-looking.
4. Space Maintainers & Early Orthodontic Guidance
If a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer helps ensure proper alignment of incoming permanent teeth. Dr. Haque also monitors jaw and tooth development to determine if early orthodontic intervention is needed.
5. Emergency Dental Care for Kids
Accidents happen, and we’re here when they do! If your child experiences a tooth injury, severe pain, or a knocked-out tooth, contact us immediately for urgent care.

A Kid-Friendly Approach to Dentistry

We understand that children may feel nervous about visiting the dentist. That’s why we:

Use a gentle, patient approach tailored to their needs
Offer a fun, welcoming environment with kid-friendly amenities
Use age-appropriate language to explain procedures
Provide positive reinforcement to encourage great oral habits
