Winning Smiles Pediatric Dental Care

Winning Smiles Pediatric Dental Care is a specialized dental practice located at 5730 Ellsworth Ave #3, Pittsburgh, PA 15232. It is spearheaded by Dr. Erin Issac, a board-certified pediatric dentist and a native of Monroeville, PA. The practice distinguishes itself by offering a unique and engaging dental experience specifically tailored for children, from infants to adolescents, aiming to make dental visits enjoyable and stress-free. The core mission of Winning Smiles Pediatric Dental Care is to provide comprehensive oral health care that extends beyond just treating teeth. Dr. Erin and her team focus on educating both children and parents about the importance of dental health in relation to overall well-being, emphasizing preventative care to minimize the occurrence of cavities. They understand that every child is unique, and therefore, their approach to treatment is highly individualized. The office environment itself is designed with children in mind, often described as a "dental home" rather than a typical dental office. This philosophy aligns with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's definition of a dental home, which promotes an ongoing relationship between the dentist and patient, encompassing all aspects of oral health care in a comprehensive, accessible, coordinated, and family-centered manner. Winning Smiles Pediatric Dental Care also makes an effort to use eco-friendly, recycled, and non-toxic materials in their office, demonstrating a commitment to both patient health and environmental consciousness. Dr. Erin Issac, the driving force behind Winning Smiles, is known for her thoughtful and warm approach. She ensures extra-long appointment times to foster a comfortable and thorough experience, and takes the time to remember personal details about each child, building a strong rapport. Her dedication to pediatric dentistry in her hometown of Pittsburgh is evident in her commitment to creating a positive and educational environment for young patients. The services offered generally include infant oral health exams, risk assessments for caries, preventive dental care (cleanings, fluoride treatments), nutrition and diet recommendations, habit counseling (e.g., pacifier use, thumb sucking), early assessment for orthodontic needs, repair of cavities, diagnosis of oral conditions linked to systemic diseases, management of gum diseases, and care for dental injuries. Winning Smiles Pediatric Dental Care aims to instill healthy dental habits from an early age, ensuring that children grow into happy, healthy adults with confident smiles. The practice strives to be a supportive and positive influence on the oral health journey of Pittsburgh's youth.
