Carolina Dental Care – Caring & Gentle Pediatric Dental Care Services

It may not seem like infant dental care would be necessary, but in actuality, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that infants come in for their first pediatric dental care appointment by the time they turn one year old. As their new teeth start to emerge, or “erupting,” it’s critical that infants get proper dental care. At Carolina Dental Care in Longs, SC, we completely understand this can cause parents a bit of anxiety. But when you bring your baby to our pediatric dental clinic, you can relax knowing your child is in the hands of pediatric dental specialists who are sensitive to your concerns and your infant’s dental care needs. Every step is taken to ensure that your child’s first visit is secure, safe, and painless.

Truly effective kids’ dental care will entail routine dental examinations that are scheduled on a regular basis. At Carolina Dental Care, our preventative pediatric dental care includes sealants, fluoride treatments, and standard cleanings. Having routine dental exams will help to avoid tooth decay, which has been known to cause painful cavities and even lead to more serious problems, some even requiring complex treatments like surgery or root canals.

A great advantage that regularly scheduled dental visits offer our patients is that our experienced children’s dentists can continually monitor and more accurately track your child’s ever changing dental needs. The skilled team at Carolina Dental Care keeps a vigilant watch for early signs of any potential orthodontic concerns that could necessitate teeth straightening intervention or bite improvement treatments. There are also other oral conditions that we can identify, like asthma, hay fever, pediatric periodontal disease, or diabetes.

When dental emergencies happen, you may not be sure where to turn. So, if your child has an accident that requires emergency care, know that Carolina Dental Care has an emergency pediatric dentist available to take care of whatever dental emergency your child has, be it an abscess tooth or they knocked one out.
