Pediatric Dental Care

Prevention is the key to every confident, healthy smile. At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we take a proactive, gentle and education-based approach to pediatric dental care to help your child build a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.

From regular cleanings and fluoride treatments to advanced bitewing and panoramic radiographs, we use the latest pediatric dental care techniques to keep little smiles bright and healthy. We also offer protective sealants to help guard against cavities and decay.

At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we’re here to help little smiles bounce back strong and bright, from the inside out! Our restorative dentistry services repair and rebuild your child’s teeth with the latest technology, gentle techniques, and a caring touch from Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Katie.

Whether your child has a cavity or chipped tooth our crew provides durable, natural-looking solutions that restore health and confidence, such as fillings, crowns and space maintainers. We even offer advanced comfort options like SOAN intraosseous anesthesia to keep every visit calm and worry-free.

We believe the best smiles are built on care that’s necessary. We will never push pediatric dental care treatments that your child does not truly need. We will also use minimally invasive treatments whenever possible, such as Curodont™, SDF and Hall crowns to protect and preserve your child’s natural teeth while keeping every visit smooth sailing.

Using gentle, drill-free techniques and advanced materials, Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Katie help stop decay early, strengthen enamel and keep little smiles healthy and worry-free. These pediatric dental care treatments are quick, comfortable and often require no numbing, making them perfect for even our most cautious young sailors.

We believe every child deserves gentle, patient-centered pediatric dental care that meets their unique needs. Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie, and Dr. Katie specialize in caring for children with special healthcare needs through calm, supportive visits and special techniques that help every smile shine with confidence.

From sensory sensitivities and developmental differences to medical complexities, our crew tailors each appointment to your child’s comfort and pace. We offer desensitization visits and gentle sedation options with your child’s safety and well-being as our top priority.

Every child handles visiting the dentist differently. Some are full of curiosity, while others may feel nervous or find it especially difficult to sit still. That’s okay, and that’s where we come in! Our pediatric dental team uses gentle behavior management and advanced dental care techniques when necessary to help every child feel safe and comfortable.

Through patience, encouragement and fun, we turn overwhelming dental appointments into positive experiences. We tailor every visit to your child’s unique personality and comfort level. From our “Tell, Show, Do” approach and calming distractions to specialized behavior management methods, we’ll make sure they feel at ease while we provide the pediatric dental care that they need.

At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we’re here to help every smile grow healthy and confident while making sure it’s beautifully aligned. With Invisalign® and interceptive orthodontics, we help gently guide your child’s developing teeth and jaw, setting the foundation for a balanced smile and for possible future orthodontic treatment.

Interceptive orthodontics (also called early orthodontics) allows our pediatric dentists to identify and address potential alignment issues while your child’s mouth is still growing. Invisalign® can provide a comfortable, removable and nearly invisible way to correct crowding, spacing or bite concerns—all right here where your family already receives their trusted pediatric dental care.

We may recommend laser frenectomy if your child is having difficulty nursing, speaking, or eating. Using advanced laser technology, our pediatric dentists gently and precisely release tongue-ties and lip ties to help improve feeding, speech and overall oral function.

Laser frenectomies are quick, comfortable and minimally invasive, and most babies can nurse immediately after the procedure. This modern approach to pediatric dental care offers faster healing, minimal bleeding and a smoother recovery than traditional frenectomies so your child can thrive.
