Kiddie Cavity Care & Orthodontics is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic specializing in the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence, including those with special needs. With locations in Richmond, Virginia, and Temple Hills, Maryland, the practice emphasizes creating a welcoming and fun environment to alleviate dental anxieties. Dr. Ephraim Altmon leads the team, having specialized training in pediatric dentistry from Howard University and also serving as a staff physician at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. The clinic offers a wide range of services designed for children's unique dental needs. These include routine pediatric dental checkups, cleanings, and fluoride applications for preventive care. They also provide restorative treatments such as tooth-colored fillings and crowns for decayed or damaged teeth. A significant focus is placed on cavity prevention, with services like dental sealants to protect vulnerable chewing surfaces. Kiddie Cavity Care & Orthodontics also provides comprehensive orthodontic services, including traditional braces, Invisalign for teens, retainers, and space maintainers. Dr. Altmon is particularly skilled in early interceptive orthodontic care (Phase One Orthodontics), addressing jaw growth and tooth development issues in younger children to prevent more complex problems later on. The practice is equipped with modern technology, including advanced X-ray machines that go around the child's head for comfort. They welcome parents into treatment areas and strive to make each visit educational and positive. Emergency dentistry services are also available for urgent dental needs.
