North Point Pediatric Dentistry

North Point Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated dental practice located in Elkhart, Indiana, with an additional office in South Bend, specifically focused on providing comprehensive oral healthcare for infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers. The clinic emphasizes creating a comfortable and positive environment for young patients to alleviate dental anxiety and establish good oral hygiene habits from an early age. Their team consists of multiple experienced pediatric dentists, including Dr. David Fishbaugh, Dr. Cara Kilgore, Dr. Carter McCrea, and Dr. Spiritoso, all of whom are well-trained in treating patients with diverse needs, including those with special healthcare needs such as Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). North Point Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide range of services tailored to children's developing teeth and jaws. These services include preventive dental care (such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants), restorative treatments (like white fillings and crowns), space maintainers, and extractions when necessary. They also provide anticipatory guidance for parents on topics like growth and development, trauma prevention, and dietary advice to prevent tooth decay. The clinic aims to make dental visits a positive experience, often starting with exams where toddlers can sit on a parent's lap, and gradually introducing full cleanings as children become more comfortable. They monitor teeth and jaw alignment, offering referrals to orthodontists when needed.
