OUR PEDIATRIC DENTAL SERVICES

Helping children of all ages achieve a healthy smile

OUR CARE PHILOSOPHY AT RVA PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Welcome to RVA Pediatric Dentistry! Our goal at RVA Pediatric Dentistry is to give each child a high-quality, positive dental experience in a caring and nurturing environment while providing expert pediatric dental care. We believe in developing relationships with our families so children can feel safe, cared for and learn the importance of good oral health, which they can carry with them throughout their lives. We believe it is important to keep dental visits simple and predictable. We invite parents back to stay with children during treatment to help promote a positive experience.

INFANTS

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that your child see a dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth. Finding expert pediatric dental care and taking a proactive approach to your child’s dental care will help keep his or her smile healthy for life.

CHILDREN

Children should see a dentist every 6 months or twice a year. Maintaining regular dental visits enables us to catch problems, such as decay, early. At RVAPD, we hope to offer the least invasive treatment option and correct bad habits that may lead to more invasive treatment in the future.

TEENS

Adolescence is a time of transition for children as they begin to take over their oral health care. Research shows the highest rate of cavity formation is seen during the teenage years. We look forward to educating our teenage patients about good oral health routines and how to prevent cavities.
