What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry at Eastpoint Dental Clinic is an age-defined specialty that provides both preventive and therapeutic dental care for infants, children and adolescents (teens).

All children are not alike! At Eastpoint Dental Clinic, we provide an ongoing assessment of the changes in your child's oral health. As experts in dental development, we monitor your child's needs and provide advice and treatment to ensure a winning smile. From teething infants to appearance-conscious teenagers, the pediatric dentists at Eastpoint Dental Clinic provide dental care based on comprehensive dental research and extensive clinical experience.

Maintaining disease-free teeth and gums is our main goal. To help prevent tooth decay, we make sure our patients receive optimum fluoride exposure and we apply pit and fissure sealants when appropriate. In addition, our dental staff demonstrates proper brushing and flossing techniques and assists patients and their families in identifying foods that promote tooth decay. The total care your child receives at Eastpoint will serve as a motivating force, promoting good oral health habits that can be maintained for a lifetime.
