We Love Seeing Children
Dental Care of Bridgewater is home to some of the most patient, experienced and caring dentists in New Jersey. Our commitment is to blend learning and fun into every dental visit so your children will look forward to coming here. We will help get them off to the best possible start to good dental health that will lead to a lifetime of good care. We know that some children are apprehensive in new environments so we will work with your child at a pace that suits them best to become comfortable here.
The atmosphere at our office in Bridgewater, New Jersey encourages exploration and fun leads to positive associations and helps a child establish trust and confidence that will last a lifetime. There is something of interest everywhere you look. Big screen TVs in every room, arcade quality games and movies make dental visits a treat. We use a miniature TV camera so you and your children can see inside their own mouth. We have dental toys and video educational programs. Positive reinforcement with recognition and contests where everyone gets prizes makes children feel special and want to do better with their snacking and home care.
The American Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children begin regular dental visits around
their first birthday. Establishing good habits is much easier when you start early. We
can help parents with infant oral health care, proper fluoride, good nutrition, how to
decrease teething discomfort and prevention of dental decay. Problems can be
detected, treated early, or avoided all together.
Regular checkups every
six months helps your child reduce cavities by emphasizing preventive measures,
reinforcing home care, applying professional fluoride or sealants
as needed and suggesting dietary modifications. Professional cleaning removes
plaque that builds up and leads to gum infections and decay. Preventing problems
and catching them while they are still small is the key to long-term dental health.
Orthodontic Specialist on Staff: Consultations with the orthodontist are readily
available. Early interceptive orthodontic treatment can help minimize problems
down the road.
