Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Kids aren’t just small adults—they need care that’s tailored to their age, development, and personality. Pediatric dentists receive additional training to understand children’s oral health, behavior, and how to ease anxiety at every stage. Whether your child is nervous about their first visit or needs extra support due to sensory sensitivities, our team is here to help them feel safe, supported, and heard.
Our Pediatric Dental Services
At Rising Stars Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer a wide range of services designed to keep your child’s smile healthy and beautiful.
First Dental Visits
We recommend your child’s first visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. These early visits are all about helping your little one feel safe and at ease. We’ll do a gentle exam, answer any questions you have, and share tips on brushing, teething, and nutrition. It’s a simple but important way to start your child’s dental journey on the right foot.
Preventive care is the cornerstone of pediatric dentistry. At each visit, we provide gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and guidance on home care. Our goal is to catch small problems early and stop cavities before they start. We also talk with you about healthy habits, like diet and brushing routines, to help protect your child’s smile between visits.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If a cavity does pop up, we use safe, BPA-free composite resin to repair the tooth with a natural look and feel. These fillings are strong, blend in beautifully, and allow us to restore your child’s smile with minimal tooth removal. Our gentle approach helps keep your child relaxed throughout the process.
Space Maintainers
Baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth that follow. If one falls out too early due to decay or injury, we may recommend a space maintainer to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting. These custom-fit devices are small, comfortable, and ensure your child’s bite develops properly.
Tongue and Lip Tie Treatment
Tethered oral tissues can affect everything from breastfeeding and speech to oral hygiene and development. We offer gentle laser or precision-release frenectomies to free up movement and improve function. Treatment is quick, healing is fast, and we’ll walk you through every step with care.
Special Needs Dentistry
We are honored to care for children with special health care needs. Our team creates personalized experiences for each child, adjusting lighting, sounds, scheduling, and pacing to meet their unique needs. Whether your child has autism, anxiety, or another condition, we go above and beyond to make visits comfortable and positive.
