Hillsborough Pediatric Dentistry

Hillsborough Pediatric dentistry is a specialized dental clinic dedicated to serving the unique oral healthcare needs of children, from infancy through their teenage years, as well as patients with special needs. The practice's core philosophy revolves around creating a positive and anxiety-free experience for young patients. The clinic's environment is designed to be child-friendly, with staff trained to use behavioral management techniques to ensure children feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. The clinic is staffed by board-certified pediatric dentists who have completed additional years of specialized training beyond dental school. This expertise allows them to provide a full spectrum of pediatric dental services. These services include, but are not limited to, routine dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, and the application of dental sealants to prevent cavities. The practice also offers restorative procedures such as fillings and crowns, and they are equipped to handle more complex treatments like tooth extractions and sedation dentistry using nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"). For children who may have orthodontic needs, the clinic provides evaluations and can offer solutions like clear aligners or refer patients to trusted orthodontic specialists. Hillsborough Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of early and preventive care. They recommend a child's first dental visit occur around the time their first tooth appears or no later than their first birthday. These early visits focus on parent education regarding proper oral hygiene, diet, and habits like thumb-sucking. The clinic is also committed to using modern dental technology, such as digital X-rays, to ensure accurate diagnoses and efficient, comfortable care. With a focus on compassion, communication, and patient-centered treatment plans, Hillsborough Pediatric Dentistry strives to be a trusted "dental home" for families in the Hillsborough Township area.
