Welcome to Lansdowne Pediatric Dentistry, where you and your child will receive a warm greeting from our friendly staff before being guided to the designated treatment area.
We’ve designed a specific equipped infant room filled with toys and sensory tools, creating an age-appropriate and comforting environment.
Can experience our open bay treatment area, promoting a sense of community with others their age and reinforcing positive behavior modeling. If you prefer a more private setting, we also offer closed treatment areas for added privacy—simply let us know your preference during scheduling, and we’ll accommodate your needs.
During this crucial first visit, patient and parent education take center stage, focusing on oral hygiene, habit cessation, and nutrition. Our approach emphasizes individual needs, recognizing that some children may feel ready for a dental exam and cleaning, while others may require more time to build trust. We prioritize your child’s comfort and well-being, avoiding forced treatments and customizing our care to meet their unique needs.
While at-home preparations are beneficial, avoid delving into procedural details to prevent unnecessary anxiety. Trust our specialized team to use kid-friendly terminology, guiding them through procedures and creating a reassuring and comfortable environment for your child. We consciously refrain from using words like ‘shot,’ ‘needle,’ or ‘pulling teeth’ to ensure a positive and stress-free experience.
At Lansdowne Pediatric Dentistry, we use low-dose radiography as needed to detect cavities and potential issues early on, ensuring the most comfortable and minimally invasive treatment options for your child. We personalize our approach based on your child’s unique cavity risk, guiding us in determining suitable intervals for subsequent visits. This ensures that your child’s ongoing dental care is just as friendly as their smiles.
Parents are always welcome to accompany their child during treatment, fostering a positive experience that will resonate into adulthood. Our commitment is to provide safe, effective, and gentle care, ensuring your child leaves with a smile and a positive outlook on dental visits.
