Pediatric Dentistry

The pediatric dentists at our Upper West Side dentist office are specialists in the dental needs of children from birth through adolescence. In addition to being excellent dentists, they're also great with kids! We maintain a friendly, caring atmosphere in our office, and we are gentle with your teeth. After visiting the New York Dental Specialty Group, your kids will learn that the dentist is nothing to be scared of!

Maintaining good oral health and hygiene is essential for children and adults. Our pediatric dentists help your children get off to a healthy start, beginning with proper maintenance and care of the baby teeth. Healthy baby teeth maintained with regular exams at our dentist office are instrumental in facilitating good chewing habits, proper speech production, and correct placement for permanent teeth.

What else does the pediatric dentist do?

Education - Children need to understand how to take good care of their teeth. Our pediatric dentists educate your children using models and child-friendly technology, emphasizing the importance of keeping teeth strong and healthy! Also, they answer parent questions and can give advice about disease prevention, trauma prevention, good eating habits, and dental care at home.

Monitoring growth – By scheduling regular dental exams and cleanings with our pediatric dentists, we can continuously track the growth and development of your child's teeth. This means that we can anticipate and prevent any dental problems before they worsen.

Prevention – We can help parents and children establish good eating and oral care habits to help prevent tooth decay. In addition to regular exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists also treat your child's teeth with dental sealants and topical fluoride, which can help fight off tooth decay.

Intervention – In some cases, pediatric dentists may discuss the possibility of early oral treatments with parents.  They can diagnose problems such as a misaligned bite, grinding teeth, or injury to the teeth early and recommend a treatment plan.

Dr Z was great: she was friendly, built rapport quickly and took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. We felt we could trust her. We did have to wait 30-40 minutes beyond the time scheduled for our appointment to see her (some of which involved filling out the usual paperwork, which itself seemed a bit odd given the affiliation between her office and our regular dental practice). It seemed like she was having to juggle a lot of patients: our consultation took place in an exam room where the door remained open throughout, other staff members came in to ask questions of her or to fetch supplies in the drawers, and she excused herself twice in the middle of our consultation to spend time with other patients. It seems like she needs more support (like another dentist)

Your office manager Jessica is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was actually considering switching dentist as I thought the previous lady that worked the desk was pushy, rude and unhelpful. I have continued with this practice because of Jessica. She is so pleasant and on top of things and ensures that my kids are well looked after.
