Pediatric Dentistry

At Palmer Smiles, Dr. Divya and her team are dedicated to providing gentle, comprehensive dental care for children in a welcoming and fun environment. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care, early detection, and education, helping children develop healthy habits for a lifetime of strong smiles.


Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?


Children have unique dental needs that require specialized care. A pediatric dentist is trained to handle the growth and development of children's teeth, ensuring a comfortable and positive experience. Early dental visits can prevent issues such as tooth decay, misalignment, and gum disease before they become serious problems.


Our Pediatric Dental Services


1. Preventive Care


  • Regular Checkups & Cleanings – Routine visits help keep your child's teeth healthy and cavity-free.

  • Fluoride Treatments – Strengthens enamel and prevents tooth decay.

  • Dental Sealants – A protective coating applied to molars to prevent cavities in hard-to-reach areas.


2. Restorative Dentistry


  • Tooth-Colored Fillings – Repairs cavities while maintaining a natural appearance.

  • Pulpotomy (Baby Root Canal) – Treats infections in primary teeth to preserve them until they naturally fall out.

  • Crowns for Baby Teeth – Protect and restore severely decayed or damaged teeth.


3. Early Orthodontic Evaluations


  • Monitoring your child’s jaw development and tooth alignment.

  • Identifying potential orthodontic issues early for timely intervention.

  • Space maintainers to prevent misalignment after premature tooth loss.


4. Emergency Dental Care


Children are active, and accidents happen. We provide prompt care for dental emergencies, including:


  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Chipped or fractured teeth
  • Toothaches and infections


5. Education & Habit Counseling


  • Teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques.
  • Dietary advice for strong, healthy teeth.
  • Guidance on thumb sucking, pacifier use, and teeth grinding.


Creating a Positive Dental Experience


At Palmer Smiles, we know that a child’s first dental experiences shape their attitude toward oral care for life. That’s why we create a friendly, stress-free environment, using gentle techniques and kid-friendly explanations to make every visit enjoyable.


When Should Your Child See a Dentist?


The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. Early checkups help:


  • Prevent cavities
  • Establish healthy habits
  • Detect issues before they become serious
