Advanced Pediatric Dentistry

Advanced Pediatric Dentistry (APD) is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic with locations in Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg, and York, Pennsylvania. Their core mission is to deliver exceptional and compassionate oral healthcare tailored specifically for children, from infancy through adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs. APD distinguishes itself by creating a unique and welcoming environment designed to alleviate common anxieties associated with dental visits. Their offices are adorned with a fun superhero theme, and they even have trained therapy dogs, Calibur and Quinn, to provide comfort and support to young patients. This kid-friendly approach is complemented by advanced dental technology, notably the Solea® laser, which enables many procedures to be performed virtually pain-free, often without the need for shots or drills, thus reducing fear and discomfort. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services, emphasizing preventive care to ensure long-term oral health. These services include routine exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. For restorative needs, they provide fillings, nerve treatments, and address issues like lip and tongue ties with advanced techniques. They also offer various sedation options, including in-office general anesthesia for more extensive procedures or highly anxious children, ensuring a comfortable experience. APD places a strong emphasis on education, not just for children on proper oral hygiene but also for parents on best practices for maintaining their child's dental health from an early age. Their team consists of experienced pediatric dental specialists who are committed to a conservative approach, aiming to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. They are dedicated to making every child's dental visit a positive and empowering experience, fostering healthy dental habits that can last a lifetime.
