Nurturing Healthy Smiles for Life
Our Pediatric Services
At Foley Dental Group, we are passionate about providing comprehensive, whole-health dental care for children of all ages. Our approach integrates preventive care, early intervention, and treatments that not only protect your child’s smile but also contribute to their overall health and well-being. Below are the pediatric dentistry services we offer, each designed with your child’s complete health in mind.
Routine checkups and cleanings are the foundation of your child’s oral and overall health. These visits help prevent cavities, monitor dental development, and establish lifelong healthy habits. Our gentle, child-centered approach ensures a positive experience, making it easier for your child to maintain a healthy smile.
When dental issues arise, our pediatric restorative dentistry services, including fillings, stainless steel crowns, extractions, and space maintenance, are here to restore your child’s smile and support their overall well-being. We use gentle, effective techniques to treat cavities and other dental problems, ensuring your child’s comfort and preserving their oral health. Our focus is on treatments that promote long-term health and development.
For children who may feel anxious during dental procedures, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) offers a safe and effective way to help them relax. This mild sedative not only makes dental visits more comfortable but also supports a stress-free environment, contributing to your child’s emotional and physical well-being. Nitrous oxide is quickly reversible, allowing your child to return to their regular activities soon after their appointment.
We prioritize early intervention for sleep-disordered breathing and growth discrepancies through the Healthy Start program, a whole-health approach that addresses issues like snoring, teeth grinding, and improper jaw development. By improving sleep quality and promoting proper growth, Healthy Start contributes to your child’s overall health and development. Learn more about how Healthy Start can benefit your child by visiting the Healthy Start website.
Our lip and tongue release procedure for infants addresses tongue-tie and lip-tie conditions that can interfere with feeding and oral development. This quick and simple procedure supports better nutrition, speech development, and overall oral health, setting the stage for your child’s healthy growth from the very beginning.
We offer functional tissue release to improve oral function and support overall health in children, adolescents, and adults. By addressing restricted oral tissues, this procedure can enhance speech, breathing, and eating, contributing to a more holistic sense of well-being. Our approach ensures that treatment is both comfortable and effective, supporting long-term health benefits.
For children who require more extensive dental work or experience significant anxiety, our sedation dentistry options provide a calm and safe treatment environment. We carefully tailor sedation to each child’s needs, ensuring that necessary dental care is delivered with minimal stress and maximum comfort. Our goal is to support your child’s overall health by making dental visits a positive and reassuring experience.
At Foley Dental Group, we believe that oral health is deeply connected to overall health. Our pediatric dentistry services are designed to nurture your child’s smile while supporting their complete well-being, helping them grow into healthy, happy individuals.
