North Penn Pediatric Dental Associates

North Penn Pediatric Dental Associates, LLC is a well-established pediatric dental and orthodontic clinic with a history spanning over four decades, founded by Dr. Richard Galeone in 1972. The practice has grown to serve the communities of Lansdale, Harleysville, and Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Their core mission is to deliver excellent dental care to children and adolescents in a pleasant and safe environment. They advocate for establishing a "dental home" for children by 12 months of age, which ensures comprehensive, accessible, and coordinated oral health care from an early age. This approach helps in implementing preventive dental habits that are crucial for a child's overall health and aims to keep them free from dental and oral diseases throughout their lives. North Penn Pediatric Dental Associates offers a wide range of services tailored specifically for children's dental needs, including routine check-ups, cleanings, cavity prevention, and early childhood tooth decay treatment. A significant aspect of their practice is their integrated orthodontic services. Unlike general dental practices, they provide in-house orthodontic care, allowing for seamless coordination between pediatric dentists and orthodontists. This integrated approach benefits patients by reducing the number of appointments, facilitating more thorough cleanings (as arch wires can be removed by their own hygienists), and enabling quick detection and treatment of any dental issues during orthodontic visits. The clinic prides itself on its gentle approach and specially trained staff who are adept at putting children at ease, making dental visits a positive and even fun experience. They prioritize educating both children and parents on proper oral hygiene and preventive care. The clinic also handles dental emergencies, offering 24/7 on-call service for urgent situations. They are committed to providing quality care promptly and professionally, fostering a passion for good oral hygiene in their young patients.
