Convenient pediatric dental care in our office
You’ll find all the pediatric services you need from Dr. Edmond and other services you may not expect! Some of the pediatric dental services you can enjoy in our office include:
- Routine dental exams: Like adults, your child should see a dentist at least twice annually to keep their oral health in tip-top condition. During oral exams, we inspect your child’s oral development and scan the mouth for signs of gum disease, decay, misalignment, etc. Oral exams allow us to treat oral issues before they escalate and become painful.
- Dental cleanings: We offer gentle pediatric cleanings to remove built-up plaque and tartar, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Dental cleanings prevent oral infections, tooth decay, and bad breath and keep your teeth looking beautiful.
- Teeth sealants: While your child may brush and floss their teeth daily, sometimes they need the help of a dentist to prevent cavities. Our office offers dental sealants to seal out decay-causing bacteria and keep the teeth smooth for easy cleaning.
- Orthodontic screenings: Early identification of orthodontic issues allows for timely intervention to prevent the progression of problems. Interventions may include orthodontic appliances or changing habits to guide proper dental and jaw development.
Seeing your child smile is a highlight of your day, so you’d like to make their smile as healthy as possible. Alongside at-home dental care, our office offers pediatric dental care services to help your child achieve a lifetime of good oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry
How many times should a child go to the dentist?
Elevation Dental Studio recommends twice a year (every 6 months) for routine exams and cleanings for children.
At what age would a person most likely keep seeing a pediatric dentist?
Elevation treats children and teens (they mention “children age three and up” and “teen dentistry”) as part of their family practice.
At what age does a child first visit a dentist?
Even though Elevation’s “family dentistry” says they treat ages three and up, the best practice is a dental visit earlier (as soon as the first teeth appear).
When should you switch from a pediatric dentist to a regular dentist?
The switch is less abrupt with Elevation since they offer pediatric, teen, and adult services all in the same office.
Can a pediatric dentist fix a tongue-tie?
Elevation does not explicitly advertise tongue‑tie (frenectomy) services on its pediatric page.
Can I get in trouble for not taking my child to the dentist?
Elevation’s site doesn’t discuss legal consequences. They focus on preventive care. In general, not taking a child to the dentist is not usually a legal issue unless it rises to medical neglect (if serious harm results).
Can a pediatric dentist treat adults?
Yes, in this case. Elevation is a family dentistry office that treats patients of all ages, from children to seniors.
What is the rule of 7 in pediatric dentistry?
The “rule of 7” is a guideline in pediatric dental development—e.g., by age seven, many permanent incisors come in, jaw growth phases, etc.
Is a pediatric dentist more expensive?
Elevation does not clearly state that pediatric care is more expensive. Their site indicates they treat all family members and offer “gentle pediatric cleanings” without showing separate pricing.
How do you choose the right pediatric dentist for your child?
Elevation has a high rating (≈ 4.9) and many reviews. They emphasize a gentle, fun, and positive experience for kids. They provide preventive care (cleanings, exams, sealants), orthodontic screenings, etc. Choose someone who works with your insurance or provides financing. Elevation offers “no insurance, no worries” options and flexible payment since it is local (545 Gramatan Ave, Mount Vernon) and accepts new patients.
