Dunn Pediatric Dentistry

Dunn Pediatric dentistry, located at 711 Tilghman Dr, Dunn, NC 28334, is a specialized dental clinic catering exclusively to the oral health needs of children. As part of NC Pediatric Dentistry's network, it serves as a "Dental home" for infants, young children, adolescents, and patients with special needs, emphasizing a comprehensive and individualized approach to care. The clinic's mission is to provide an exceptional dental experience by creating a welcoming, comfortable, and fun environment. They understand that visiting the dentist can be daunting for children, and their team of "superheroes" is trained to be not only expert pediatric dentists but also "professional joy generators." This includes offering kid-centric spaces with games in the waiting area, employing gentle techniques, and using kid-sized dental equipment. Dunn Pediatric Dentistry offers a full suite of pediatric dental services, including Preventive dentistry (initial exams, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, extractions, pulpotomies), and addressing pediatric emergencies. They also provide services for special needs children, including those with autism or high anxiety, offering sedation options to ensure a comfortable visit. Furthermore, they offer early orthodontic evaluations and guidance on growth and development, as well as sports mouthguards. Patient safety is a top priority, with the practice adhering to the safety guidelines set by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). They've implemented additional precautionary measures, such as air purifiers, sneeze guards, and electronic check-in processes, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dunn Pediatric Dentistry strongly advocates for establishing a "dental home" early in a child's life, ideally by their first birthday, following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). They are committed to educating both children and parents on proper oral hygiene and healthy habits to encourage a lifetime of good dental health, offering dietary counseling and being available for after-hours emergencies. The clinic fosters an "open-door policy" for parents, encouraging them to be present with their child throughout the appointment and engage with the dentists regarding any questions or concerns.
