Greenspring Pediatric Dentistry

Greenspring Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated dental clinic located at 2700 Quarry Lake Dr Suite 190, Baltimore, MD 21209, specializing exclusively in pediatric dental care. Their services cater to infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special needs, reflecting a philosophy centered on making dental visits enjoyable and instilling good oral hygiene habits from a young age. The clinic emphasizes a preventative approach to dental health, educating both patients and parents on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the importance of a healthy diet, and the benefits of regular check-ups. They offer a comprehensive suite of services including routine examinations, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments to strengthen teeth, and dental sealants to protect against cavities, particularly on the chewing surfaces of molars. Greenspring Pediatric Dentistry also provides restorative treatments such as tooth-colored fillings for both front and back teeth, and stainless steel crowns for badly decayed molars. In cases of advanced decay, they perform pulp treatments to save teeth from extraction. Should an extraction be necessary, they utilize space maintainers to preserve alignment for incoming permanent teeth. Beyond general pediatric dentistry, the clinic offers interceptive orthodontics to address minor issues like crossbites with simple appliances, and they begin evaluating children for orthodontic needs as early as 5-7 years old. They also recognize the importance of catering to anxious patients and those with special needs, offering options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for relaxation, conscious sedation for very anxious young children, and general anesthesia for children with extensive dental needs or complex medical conditions, typically in a hospital setting. The team at Greenspring Pediatric Dentistry is praised for its friendly and caring demeanor, focusing on creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. They employ a "Tell-Show-Do" behavior management technique to prepare children for procedures, prioritizing physical comfort and positive reinforcement. The clinic is conveniently located off the Baltimore beltway, easily accessible from surrounding areas like Owings Mills, Lutherville, Pikesville, Mt. Washington, Towson, and Cockeysville.
