Newtown Dentistry for Kids

Newtown Dentistry for Kids is a highly-rated pediatric dental clinic located in Newtown, PA, known for its unique and engaging approach to children's dentistry. The practice is part of a larger dental home that also includes services for adults and orthodontics, providing a convenient and comprehensive solution for the entire family. The team is led by board-certified pediatric dentists, including Dr. Christine Landes (also known as "the Purple Dentist"), who has over two decades of experience and a strong commitment to the community. The clinic's core philosophy is to establish a "dental home" for children by the age of one, fostering a positive relationship between the dentist and the patient. This approach aims to encourage a lifelong commitment to healthy smiles by providing a loving and fun environment that helps settle any fears associated with dental visits. The office is designed to be a "dental park" and is often compared to a major theme park, featuring an indoor treehouse, a slide, and a mini trampoline. The clinic employs a "show, tell, do" method to familiarize children with every step of their visit in an interactive and non-threatening way. This approach, combined with a passionate and compassionate staff, ensures that even the youngest patients become acclimated quickly and look forward to their next appointment. Newtown Dentistry for Kids utilizes state-of-the-art technology to provide the highest level of care. This includes digital X-rays with low radiation doses, intra-oral cameras that allow patients and parents to see what the dentist sees, a SoproLIFE camera for early cavity detection, and a CariScreen meter to assess caries risk. They also offer treatments like Silver Diamine Fluoride and use a LightScalpel CO2 laser for quick, minimally invasive procedures such as lip and tongue tie release. A strong preventive program has led to a significant reduction in tooth decay among their patients. The clinic provides a wide range of services, including routine checkups, cleanings, tooth extractions, and in-house orthodontic treatments with braces and 3M aligners. For patient convenience, they offer flexible scheduling, interest-free financing, and an in-house savings plan for those without insurance.
