Douglaston Children’s Dental Care
Our friendly dental team and gentle dentists make Preferred Dental Care an excellent place to bring your children for their oral health needs.
Cleanings and Exams
Preventive care is an important part of helping your child’s smile stay as healthy as possible. We recommend a cleaning and exam at least every 6 months. Since baby teeth decay very quickly, early diagnosis of cavities is essential.
Fluoride Treatments
After your child’s cleaning, we will place fluoride onto his or her teeth. This makes the enamel more resistant to decay and encourages healthy development.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, clear protective coatings that assist in preventing cavities from starting in the deep grooves and pits of the back teeth.
Oral Hygiene Instruction and Nutritional Counseling
Our dental hygienists will show your child ways to keep their teeth stronger and healthier for life.
Sport Guards
Is your child an athlete? Our custom sport guards can save his or her teeth, as well as prevent concussions.
Orthodontic Evaluations
By age 7, all children should have an orthodontic evaluation to assess the eruption patterns and bite relationship of their teeth.
When Does My Child Need to See a Dentist?
Medical and dental experts alike recommend that children see a dentist for an evaluation no later than his or her first birthday. At Preferred Dental Care we’re committed to making your child’s visit with us as positive as possible – we want them to enjoy each and every trip to our office!
With flexible appointment times, we can accommodate your busy schedule and help your child get the access to dental care they deserve. Same day and next day appointments are available! Call us now.
