OUR SERVICES
OUR SERVICES
Smile Street Pediatric Dentistry offers a variety of treatment options depending on your child’s anxiety needs. Dental treatment for a child involves two paths of discussion:
☻ What type of dental treatment is required for your child?
☻ How we will manage the child’s anxiety to make them as comfortable as possible during treatment?
PATIENT AGE RANGE
We see infants, children and adolescents ages 1-18 years old. We advise scheduling for the first dental visit by 1 year old.
PATIENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Marissa is specially trained to manage patients with special health care needs. Children with special needs require a careful approach in the dental office, and Dr. Marissa takes pride in attending to their specific dental needs with the family.
OFFICE LANGUAGES SPOKEN
We can provide service in any of the following languages for your convenience: ENGLISH, SPANISH, FARSI.
FIRST VISIT
We remove anxiety and create a fun environment for your child!
YOUR FIRST VISIT
A visual exam will be done depending on the age of your child. If the patient permits, an effort will be made to take diagnostic x-rays, depending on the needs. During the first visit, typically a set of full-mouth x-rays are taken to thoroughly assess the child’s developing oral condition.
A dental cleaning and fluoride application are also done at the first visit and at each check visit which should be every six months.
RECALL VISITS
A recall visit is done bi-annually or every six months. X-rays are taken according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines.
A dental cleaning & fluoride are also completed. If cavities are diagnosed, a treatment visit will be scheduled.
The Pediatric Dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school focused on infants, children, and adolescents.
