There’s a lot to consider when looking for a "dentist near me." You want to find a professional who is compassionate and attentive to your child’s needs. But you also know that it’s equally important to choose a practice that offers a variety of pediatric services and superior dental care. We also accept adult patients!
At Children’s Dentistry of Northborough, you’ll find it all! We specialize in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and general dentistry. As pediatric dentists, we treat children of all ages with preventive treatments that protect and strengthen their teeth.
Preventive Dentistry for Children
Our primary focus is on prevention and educating parents and children about the importance of proper oral health habits. During your child’s first visit, Dr. Jolanta Macdonald will perform a preliminary cavity risk assessment to identify potential problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
We strongly encourage routine cleanings and check-ups for both adults and children to prevent many problems from ever developing. Preventive care such as dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and custom mouth guards adds an extra layer of protection.
When it’s time for your child’s first teeth cleaning, our trained hygienist will use a technique we call “tell-show-do.” This is a very effective method for giving kids a hands-on understanding of the proper way to brush and floss.
Advanced Pediatric Dental Services
Your child’s comfort and well-being are our first priority. If a cavity develops, we can avoid injections with gentle WaterLase laser dentistry. Treatment is so quick and comfortable with lasers that we don’t usually need to use any anesthetic.
In some cases, it may be easier to treat your child when we can be sure that they will stay calm and relaxed. If your child needs multiple treatments or a more complex procedure, we offer various options for sedation.
Nitrous oxide is a mild type of sedation that is safe for children and appropriate for many in-office treatments. In certain circumstances, we can sedate your child using general anesthesia in a hospital setting or in our office under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
