It’s important to promote oral hygiene at a young age. RSN Dental PC of Staten Island is kid-friendly and wants to help yours keep good oral health. Many families don’t think to bring their kids to the dentist until there's already a problem. But bringing your kids in when their teeth start to come in gets them familiar with the dentist and can help avoid issues down the road.
Going to a pediatric dentist lets your child feel comfortable and at ease in what can be a very intimidating environment. Our pediatric dentist at RSN Dental PC is trained to work with children, with skills, techniques, and prizes to make the visit successful.
Even if they don’t have that many teeth yet, having your child see a pediatric dentist helps keep their oral hygiene on track. You can address any issues or bad habits before they cause damage. Also, since your child will be in a kid-friendly environment, they might even look forward to coming back, so you don’t have to worry about dragging them to the dentist.
Our children's dentist office is conveniently located in Staten Island. We treat children from a very young age, believing that preventative oral health care is essential for their ability to eat and speak clearly, avoid discomfort, and decrease the need for braces later on. We also know that most families have an extremely busy schedule, and it can be difficult to make a dental appointment in between school, soccer, and ballet. As a kids dentist, we will work with you to schedule appointments for a time that is convenient so that you do not have to pull the kids out of school or take too much time off work. Let us know what your scheduling restrictions are when calling our office so that we can provide you with a convenient appointment time.
We offer a variety of pediatric dentistry procedures that can help your child to stay in excellent oral health. While it starts with a dental exam and teeth cleaning, this is only the beginning. As a children's dentist office, we can also complete fluoride treatments and seal the teeth when necessary. These two procedures can help to strengthen and protect teeth so that they are less likely to become infected or get a cavity. While simple and fast, these two procedures can work together or separately to prevent your child from experiencing any unnecessary dental pain that can be caused by a cavity.
If your child does get a cavity or an infection, we can treat it right away so that they can feel comfortable again. Even baby teeth need to be treated because of the discomfort that they can cause your child. Fortunately, we can work with young children, and though the teeth are smaller, the procedure can be completed with precision so that they get the care they need without further complications. In order to help children relax and remain comfortable during this type of treatment, we offer sedation dentistry. This may be as simple as providing your child with laughing gas to relax, or if they are very small, they may need to be put to sleep while we complete the procedure. As a kids' dentist, we only use sedation when necessary. Simultaneously, it is dangerous for a child to be wiggly when dental tools are in their mouth. As such, it is better for a small child to be put to sleep than risk them moving and getting a secondary cut as a result.
As a children's dentist, we will discuss all of these treatment options, including the possibility of sedation, with you. This way you can make an informed decision as to the dental work you want to have completed and the timing of it. In some cases, parents prefer to postpone treating minor cavities for a few months if they feel their child may experience a developmental milestone, for example turning four years old, that may make them more prepared for the treatment. At RSN Dental PC, we will work with you to ensure that both you and your child are confident in the decisions that you make regarding their oral health care.
