This includes specialized care for children with special health care needs. The clinic's philosophy centers on creating a positive and comfortable experience for young patients, fostering a foundation for a lifetime of good oral hygiene. The team at Pediatric Dentistry of Owensboro offers a comprehensive array of services. Their preventive care includes routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect young teeth from cavities. They also provide essential oral health instructions, guiding both children and parents on proper brushing, flossing, diet, and nutrition. In addition to preventive measures, the clinic handles restorative procedures such as tooth-colored fillings for cavities and extractions when necessary.

For more extensive dental needs or uncooperative patients, they can facilitate hospital dentistry at The Owensboro Surgery Center or offer in-office IV sedation with a pediatric anesthesiologist. Beyond general and restorative care, Pediatric Dentistry of Owensboro addresses specific pediatric dental concerns. This includes space maintenance following premature tooth loss, treatment options for thumb, finger, and pacifier habits to prevent developmental issues, and aesthetic dentistry to ensure children's smiles look their best. They also utilize advanced technology like digital X-rays, which significantly reduce radiation exposure, and a carbon dioxide laser for quick and nearly painless tongue and lip tie releases. Their commitment extends to urgent dental care for injuries such as knocked-out teeth. The clinic emphasizes parent involvement in prevention and aims to educate families on establishing healthy dental routines from the eruption of the first tooth. They strive to make each visit fun and educational, recognizing that early positive experiences are crucial for a child's attitude towards dental care.
