SAFE AND CAREFREE

Your child's first visit made easy

Your children are special, and that calls for exceptional care. At Medina Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in dental hygiene for kids. Many children’s first experience with a dentist happens at an office focused on adult care. Dental care in this environment is often intimidating and frightening for kids. This first impression can create anxiety and avoidance of the dentist that will last a lifetime.

WHEN TO START

First tooth or first birthday — whichever comes first

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one. Early visits help prevent problems and build comfort from the start.

GOOD TO KNOW

First-visit questions, answered

Safe, Calm, & Carefree

We designed Medina Pediatric Dentistry to make your child feel safe, calm, and carefree. Our office was created with your child’s first dentist visit in mind. From watching their favorite movie during treatment to playing with toys in the waiting room, we strive to create an atmosphere that leaves a lasting, positive memory.

Our staff is handpicked to ensure an office-wide passion for your child’s comfort and care.

From Infancy to Late Adolescence

We treat your child across their entire young life, from infancy through late adolescence. Additionally, we work with children with special needs. For the comfort of your child, we offer sedation dentistry, as well as general anesthesia delivered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. This allows all treatment to be completed at one time with less stress on you and your child.

Prevent Dental Problems Later in Life

Your child’s oral health is very imperative. ‘Baby teeth’ or primary teeth help build a passage that permanent teeth can follow. They also help your children speak clearly and chew easily. Prevent your child from having dental problems as an adult by utilizing a professional with expertise in pediatric dentistry.
