I have been coming here for years and always receive the best dental patient care. I brought my 3.5 year old son (sitting in the chair and examined by Dr. Danos) for his first check up and it was a success!!! He was so comfortable in the chair with Dr. Danos and of course all the other staff in the office were extra friendly and super helpful! Also, now with Covid- I felt extra safe in the office with all the new equipment they have put in. I can honestly say it’s a pleasure coming to the dentist!!

At ProCare Family Dental, led by Dr. Perry Danos, we provide a safe, welcoming environment for children’s dental care. Our commitment to mercury-free fillings ensures your child receives the best treatment without harmful materials.

When to Schedule Your Child’s First Visit

The first dental visit should occur shortly after your child’s first birthday. Our experienced team will:

  • Gently examine your child’s teeth and gums
  • Take digital X-rays if needed
  • Clean their teeth and apply fluoride
  • Educate you on at-home care and fluoride needs

Preparing Your Child for Their First Visit

Help your child feel comfortable by preparing them like you would for a first haircut. Here are some tips:

  • Tour the office together
  • Let them sit in the exam room during your visit
  • Read books about visiting the dentist
  • Talk positively about your own experiences

Preventative Dental Care

We emphasize prevention from an early age, helping your child maintain healthy teeth and reducing future dental issues. Our services include:

  • Dental sealants to protect decay-prone areas
  • Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel

Baby Root Canals (Pulpotomy)

If a baby tooth is damaged, we can perform a pulpotomy to treat the pulp without affecting the root, preserving the tooth’s function.

Cavity Prevention Tips

To help prevent cavities, consider these strategies:

  • Limit sugary snacks and drinks
  • Encourage regular brushing and flossing
  • Choose nutritious snacks and make treats part of meals

Understanding Dental Development

Baby teeth start forming before birth, and by age two and a half, your child should have all 20 primary teeth. These teeth are essential for chewing, speech, and holding space for permanent teeth, making good oral hygiene and nutrition crucial.
