Sunshine Dentistry is a 2022 Best of Jersey Shore Pediatric Dentist! To book a pediatric dentistry appointment for your child, send us a message, or call our dental office at 609-465-5415.

Pediatric dentistry encompasses all dental and oral health care treatments your child will receive from infancy through their teen years. Pediatric dental services focus on your child's oral health and is largely preventative in scope, with time allotted during each appointment for dental health education to help young generations establish good oral health habits. Our dedicated team provides quality dental care and teaches proper brushing techniques to maintain a healthy smile. After all, scientists have concluded that poor oral health is linked with many serious and preventable conditions later in life. Starting dental care at an early age helps children develop a positive attitude toward visiting the dentist. 

Early dental care emphasizes oral health education, proper healthy oral health care techniques, and preventative care. When children see a dentist regularly, it sets them up for good oral health in the future. Early dental care also helps prevent small problems from worsening, causing pain, or requiring more complex treatment. Studies show that preventative pediatric treatments such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments can prevent more than 90% of cavities in kids.

The pediatric dentists at Sunshine Dentistry emphasize prevention. As such, preventative  pediatric dental treatments include:

• Oral examinations 
• Biannual cleanings
• Dental sealants to prevent cavities
• Flouride treatments to strengthen teeth
• Reduced radiation digital x-rays 

When problems do arise, our dentists use the safest, least invasive treatments for your child during their visit, such as:

• Composite fillings
• Dental bonding for chipped or broken teeth
• Dental bonding for discolored teeth
• Tooth extractions
• Dental crowns (caps)
• Baby root canal (pulpotomy)
• Clear aligners for misaligned teeth or bite problems (permanent teeth)

Our professional team is dedicated to providing high quality dental care through every treatment, ensuring your child receives the best pediatric dental services for a healthy smile.
