A Family Dental Office That Kids (and Parents) Love

At Brookhaven Dental, we understand that positive dental experiences in childhood set the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits. That’s why our children’s dentistry services are built on patience, prevention, and partnership with parents.

Whether it’s your child’s very first dental visit, their first cavity filling, or just a routine cleaning, our team knows how to make each appointment feel comfortable and stress-free.

We welcome children of all ages — toddlers, school-age kids, and teens — and tailor every visit to their developmental stage and dental needs.

What’s Included in a Pediatric Dental Visit?

Your child’s appointment will include a gentle, age-appropriate exam and cleaning. Our focus is on prevention and education, helping kids learn how to care for their teeth with confidence.

A typical visit may include:

We always take time to answer your questions and help your child feel informed and involved in their care.

Preventive Treatments for Kids

Children are especially vulnerable to cavities — particularly on their back teeth. That’s why we offer targeted preventive treatments to keep their smiles healthy between visits.

Dental Sealants
Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to block out plaque and food. They’re quick, painless, and highly effective.

Fluoride Treatments
Topical fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Most kids benefit from fluoride treatments every six months.

Oral Hygiene Coaching
We teach brushing and flossing techniques in ways that make sense for your child’s age, using models and visuals that help kids feel confident and capable.

Kid-Friendly, Parent-Approved

We go above and beyond to make sure your child feels safe and supported. Our approach to pediatric dentistry includes:

  • A calm, welcoming environment
  • Friendly, patient-focused staff
  • Clear communication for both kids and parents
  • Praise-based encouragement, never pressure
  • Space for parents to accompany children during visits

From first cleanings to preparing for orthodontics like Invisalign, we’re here to guide your family every step of the way.

When Should My Child See a Dentist?

We recommend that children visit the dentist:

  • By their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting
  • Every 6 months for cleanings and exams
  • Anytime you notice concerns like tooth pain, discoloration, or changes in their bite

Early dental visits build trust and make oral care a normal part of life — not something to fear or avoid.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child get their first dental checkup?

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears — whichever comes first.

What if my child is nervous about the dentist?

That’s completely normal. We take a gentle, supportive approach and give your child time to adjust. Many kids grow to love their visits after just one or two appointments.

Are dental X-rays safe for children?

Yes. We use low-dose digital X-rays that are safe for children and only take them when necessary for diagnosis or monitoring development.

Does my child need fluoride?

In most cases, yes. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay. We apply fluoride treatments during your child’s regular checkups unless otherwise advised.

Do you accept Medicaid for children?

Yes. Brookhaven Dental accepts Medicaid and many insurance plans for pediatric dental care. We also offer a membership plan for families without insurance.

Are dental implants painful?

Implant placement is a surgical procedure, but it's typically done under local anesthesia or sedation. Most patients report minimal discomfort, often less than a tooth extraction.
