City Kids Dental North Shore, LLC

City Kids Dental North Shore, LLC, located at 984 Green Bay Rd, Winnetka, IL 60093, is a specialized pediatric dental clinic. The practice is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs. Their core philosophy revolves around making dental visits an enjoyable experience for young patients, thereby instilling positive attitudes towards oral health from an early age. The clinic offers a wide range of services with a strong emphasis on preventative care. These services include, but are not limited to, professional dental cleanings, fluoride treatments (including fluoride varnish which is easier for young children to tolerate), dental sealants, and individualized instructions on oral hygiene, diet, and nutrition. They also provide pre-orthodontic screenings and guidance on habits like pacifier use and thumb sucking. For restorative needs, City Kids Dental North Shore offers composite (tooth-colored) fillings, crowns (anterior tooth-colored and posterior stainless steel), pulpal therapies, extractions, and space maintenance. The clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology, such as digital radiography, which allows for quicker x-rays with minimal radiation and improved diagnostics. A key aspect of their approach is creating a comfortable and child-friendly environment. The staff is specifically trained to help apprehensive children feel at ease, often employing a "tell, show, and do" technique to explain procedures. For more extensive dental needs or highly anxious children, sedation options, including general anesthesia with a skilled anesthesiologist, are available to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. They also offer emergency dental care for oral trauma, pain, or swelling, with 24/7 availability. City Kids Dental North Shore is owned and operated by Dr. Mary Tierney, a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a licensed Pediatric Dental Specialist. The clinic aims to build long-lasting relationships with families and develop trust with young patients through gentleness and reassurance, focusing on creating healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
