Pediatric in Bridgeport, CT

While it’s extremely important to practice good oral hygiene as an adult, it’s also equally as important for children – even if they don’t have their permanent teeth yet. At Brooklawn Dental Associates, our pediatric dentist is trained to provide specialized, high-quality care for young children and adolescents.

What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Children often experience oral health issues that are unique to their age group. Many general dentists are not trained to treat these problems, leaving them without the proper care they need.

Beyond the treatment itself, we also understand that seeing a dentist might feel a little scary or overwhelming for many children. With this in mind, we are always as gentle and caring as possible throughout their visit.

Services We Provide

We offer numerous pediatric dental services, but some of the most common ones include:

Dental Cleanings and Exams

If your child has a healthy smile now, there is a much greater chance their oral habits will lead to a healthier smile through adulthood.

We recommend you bring your child in for their first appointment either by their first birthday or when their first tooth starts to emerge. This is a great opportunity to get them started on the right track, plus it allows them to begin a relationship between your family and the dentist.

During an exam, we will recommend X-rays to view any potential issues before they become noticeable. Our team will also gently clean their teeth by brushing, flossing, and removing plaque and tartar with a scaler.

Restorative Care

Whether your child needs repairs due to an injury, or a cavity has formed, we can restore their smile to look and feel as good as new. Our restorative options include:

• Fillings
• Crowns
• Extractions
