Flossy Pediatric Dentistry

Flossy Pediatric dentistry is a specialized dental clinic located at 5002 Carolina Forest Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29579, dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care for children from infancy through adolescence, including patients with special needs. The clinic's philosophy centers on creating a positive, engaging, and comfortable experience for young patients and their families. The office environment is specifically designed to be kid-friendly, featuring a whimsical and engaging atmosphere with bright colors, playful artwork, and interactive elements. They prioritize patient safety and comfort by using up-to-date, mercury-free and latex-free dental materials, and state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology, which is the safest and most accurate available. Flossy Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide range of services to cater to the evolving dental needs of growing children. These include routine dental cleanings and fluoride treatments, baby exams, digital X-rays, and dental sealants for prevention. For restorative care, they provide fillings (including tooth-colored options), crowns, root canals (for baby teeth), and extractions. They also offer minimal sedation with nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), and oral sedation or general anesthesia when necessary for more extensive procedures or anxious patients. Additional services include space maintainers, sports dentistry (exams and athletic mouthguards), emergency and dental trauma care, and limited orthodontic treatment. The team at Flossy Pediatric Dentistry is described as warm, compassionate, and highly trained in child development and behavior management. Their approach focuses on building trust and confidence with children during their visits, especially the crucial first appointment, which is typically dedicated to getting to know the child, assessing dental needs, and evaluating behavior, rather than performing immediate treatment like fillings or extractions. They aim to educate both patients and parents on proper dental care and prevention, striving to keep children cavity-free and lay a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.
