What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Why would your child need Pediatric Dentistry?






The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age 1 or within six months of their first tooth erupting.
Children should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings, just like adults. Regular visits help monitor growth, prevent cavities, and build positive habits.
Patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, special needs, or sensitivity to dental procedures often benefit from nitrous oxide. It’s suitable for both adults and children.
We offer preventive cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, cavity fillings, habit counseling (thumb sucking/pacifier), and space maintenance, among others.
Start by talking positively about dental visits and reading books about the dentist. Choose a pediatric dental office that’s friendly and child-focused. Bringing a comfort item or scheduling the visit earlier in the day can also help your child feel more relaxed.

I am beyond thrilled with the results of my recent dental treatment with Dr. Shah! I had a complex crown procedure done, and from start to finish, Dr. Shah's expertise and care made all the difference.
Compassionate & professional. Dr. Shah is very professional and goes an extra mile to make sure you are at ease and comfortable. Will always briefly explain what needs to be done and will provide valuable advice.
I highly recommend DrShah he truly cares about your dental care. I don’t trust anyone else with my teeth I have been going to him for years. Visit his website, make a appointment you won’t regret it.
