PROCEDURES

At Frederick KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry, we focus on providing compassionate dental care tailored for children. Our small, friendly office allows us to create lasting relationships with our young patients and their families. We offer comprehensive pediatric dental services, ensuring that your child feels comfortable and cared for during each visit. With our solo practitioner approach, we deliver personalized attention and make each dental experience a positive one.

Infant Oral Care

Oral care should begin before the first tooth erupts. A soft, damp cloth can be used to clean your baby’s gums, and fluoride toothpaste should be introduced as soon as the first tooth appears.

🦷 Tip: Schedule your child’s first dental visit within six months of their first tooth appearing!

Cavity Prevention & Treatment

Cavities are common in children but preventable with proper care. We offer:
✔ Fluoride Treatments – Strengthens enamel and prevents decay. Please let us know if you have concersn about fluoride treatments for your child.
✔ Dental Sealants – A protective coating that shields molars from cavities.
✔ Tooth-Colored Fillings – Restores teeth while maintaining a natural look.

Pulpotomies & Stainless Steel Crowns

When a cavity reaches deep into the tooth, a pulpotomy (baby root canal) may be necessary. To protect the tooth, a stainless steel crown is placed to restore function.

Extractions

Sometimes, a baby tooth needs to be removed due to severe decay, infection, or crowding. We make the process as comfortable as possible.
