Pediatric Dentistry
At Rhode Island Children’s Dentistry, our board-certified pediatric dentists understand that each child has unique needs. We strive not only to provide the highest quality of care to treat cavities and oral disease but also to provide a friendly, fun, comfortable, and anxiety free environment. Our approach is to educate children and parents to promote healthy habits for a lifetime of confident and beautiful growing smiles.
Ages 0 to 2
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that your child be seen by a pediatric dentist by the age of 1 or at least 6 months after the first tooth erupts.
Ages 3 to 5
Now is primetime to make sure everything is on track with your child’s dental care! Around these ages your child will have all 20 of their baby teeth and we want to make sure they are clean and healthy to set your child up for a lifetime of success and smiles!
Ages 6 to 12
At this age, it is important for us to make sure that your child’s mouth is healthy and developing properly. Your child is starting to lose baby teeth and the permanent teeth will start erupting.
Teens & Young Adults
Now is a great time to make sure all of your permanent teeth have erupted properly and are being kept in good health. It is also a great point at which to have a visit with our Orthodontists!
Special Needs Patients
We know that going to the dentist can be challenging and even stressful for a family when a child has special health care and behavioral needs.
