Seaside Pediatric Dental Associates is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located at 92 Bandage Ct, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576. The practice is committed to providing exceptional dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, aiming to establish a positive foundation for lifelong oral health. Their philosophy centers around a team approach, involving the patient, their family, and the dental staff to ensure personalized and stress-free experiences. The clinic is staffed by experienced pediatric dentists, including Dr. Aaron Bloom and Dr. Matthew Tillman, who are trained in behavior management and focus on making each visit comfortable and engaging for young patients. Dr. Matt Tillman is a third-generation dental specialist, with a background in general dentistry before specializing in pediatrics. The team also includes registered dental hygienists, dental assistants, and administrative staff, all dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Seaside Pediatric Dental Associates offers a wide array of services tailored to children's unique dental needs. These include routine dental exams and cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants for preventive care. For restorative needs, they provide bonding, crowns, extractions, and fillings (both traditional and tooth-colored composite resins). They also handle pediatric dental emergencies, offering immediate assistance for issues like bitten lips or tongues, objects caught in teeth, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and toothaches. Understanding that some children may experience anxiety or have special needs, Seaside Pediatric Dental Associates provides various sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia at a local surgery center when necessary. They also offer pediatric hospital dentistry for children who cannot receive care in a traditional office setting due to physical, emotional, or developmental challenges, severe gag reflexes, complex medical conditions, or allergies. The office itself is designed to be kid-friendly, incorporating the latest dental technology to ensure efficient and effective treatment. They prioritize creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere, which contributes to positive dental experiences and encourages children to maintain good oral hygiene habits into adulthood.
