Led by Dr. Richard Chillemi, our team proudly cares for families in Lansdale, North Wales, Hatfield, Colmar, Blue Bell, and surrounding communities. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or a routine checkup, we’re here to make every appointment stress-free and educational.
Creating a Lifetime of Healthy Habits
Children’s dental needs evolve rapidly, and our goal is to guide their oral health journey with proactive, age-appropriate care. Pediatric dentistry isn't just about preventing cavities—it's about teaching good habits, monitoring development, and creating a foundation for lifelong wellness.
Our approach includes:
- Gentle dental cleanings tailored for younger patients
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel
- Dental sealants for added protection in hard-to-reach areas
- Early screenings for bite alignment and oral habits
- Nutritional guidance and hygiene coaching for parents and kids
- Clear communication that builds comfort and trust
When Should Children Start Seeing a Dentist?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to:
- Catch potential issues before they become bigger problems
- Build familiarity with the dental office
- Ease dental anxiety from a young age
- Teach parents how to care for baby teeth and gums
As your child grows, we’ll tailor care to their unique needs—whether that means monitoring permanent teeth, managing thumb sucking, or evaluating the need for orthodontics.
A Child-Friendly Experience at Every Visit
We understand that visiting the dentist can be intimidating for kids, which is why we go out of our way to create a calm, welcoming environment. Our staff uses child-friendly language, explains procedures step by step, and works at a pace your child is comfortable with.
From the waiting room to the treatment chair, everything at Lansdale Dental Care is designed to help your child feel at ease—and even have fun during their visit.
The Importance of Preventive Pediatric Care
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic conditions in children, but it's also one of the most preventable. Regular pediatric dental visits allow us to:
- Monitor tooth eruption and spacing
- Detect decay or enamel defects early
- Offer protective treatments before problems arise
- Reinforce good habits like brushing, flossing, and healthy eating
We work closely with parents to create home care routines that complement professional visits.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry
What age does pediatric dentistry cover?
We see children as young as one year old and continue pediatric care through the teenage years, adjusting treatment as they grow.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months unless advised otherwise based on their needs.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
We specialize in creating a low-stress, positive experience using gentle techniques, child-friendly communication, and lots of encouragement.
Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes—baby teeth play a crucial role in speech, nutrition, and guiding permanent teeth into position. Keeping them healthy supports long-term development.
Do you offer sedation for anxious children?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for children who need extra support during treatment.
