Why Pediatric Dental Care Matters

Healthy baby teeth are essential for chewing, speech, and holding space for adult teeth. Regular dental checkups allow us to catch small problems before they become bigger ones. By teaching kids simple daily habits that fit real family routines, we help you save time, money, and stress while protecting your child’s health.

What Makes Our Care Different

Under the guidance of Dr. Bano, we use child-friendly words, demonstrate each step, and move at your child’s pace. Parents are always involved and kept informed, with treatment options explained in plain language. Our goal is to earn your child’s trust and create positive dental experiences—not pressure or fear.

Your Child’s First Visit

The first dental visit sets the foundation for future care. We keep it short, warm, and stress-free. During this visit, we check your child’s teeth and gums, review brushing and diet, and explain fluoride needs. If any treatment is necessary, we’ll create a plan together with you.

What Happens at the Appointment

We welcome your child with a smile and a quick tour. A gentle exam follows, with a simple cleaning if your child feels ready. We end each visit with clear next steps and practical tips you can use at home the same day.

Preventive Care for Kids in west roxbury

Preventive Care for Kids

Prevention is always better than treatment. Routine exams and cleanings remove plaque that brushing alone can’t handle. Fluoride strengthens enamel, while dental sealants protect molars from cavities.

Cleanings, Fluoride, and Sealants

Cleanings keep gums healthy and breath fresh. Fluoride strengthens teeth and repairs early weak spots. Sealants—thin protective coatings on back teeth—block bacteria and food from causing decay. The process is quick, painless, and lasts for years.

Fixing Cavities the Gentle Way

Even with great brushing, cavities sometimes happen. We treat them early to avoid discomfort and prevent larger problems. Our tooth-colored fillings are safe, natural looking, and protect your child’s teeth from further damage.

Tooth-Colored Fillings for Kids

We gently remove the decay, place a durable white filling, and shape it so it feels comfortable when your child bites down. With a calm approach and effective numbing, most kids handle this procedure with ease.

Crowns and Pulp Therapy

Sometimes baby teeth need extra support. Crowns protect weak teeth, while pulp therapy (a baby root canal) saves a tooth if decay reaches the nerve. These treatments prevent pain and allow your child to chew without problems.

Stainless Steel and White Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are strong and reliable for back baby teeth. For front teeth, we often use white crowns that look natural. We’ll explain the best option based on your child’s needs.

Space Maintainers When Teeth Are Lost Early

Baby teeth guide adult teeth into proper position. If one is lost too early, nearby teeth may shift. A space maintainer keeps the area open so the adult tooth can erupt correctly.

Protecting Room for Adult Teeth

We custom-fit a small band-and-loop device that is easy to maintain. Once the adult tooth comes in, we remove it without hassle.

Dental Emergencies for Children in west roxbury

Comfort, Behavior, and Anxiety

It’s common for kids to feel nervous about dental visits. We use the “tell-show-do” method, keep visits short, and praise every brave step to build confidence.

Nitrous Oxide and Other Options

If extra help is needed, we may suggest nitrous oxide (laughing gas). It provides mild relaxation, takes effect quickly, and wears off fast—making it safe and effective for children.

Dental Emergencies for Children

Toothaches, chips, and knocked-out teeth require urgent attention. If your child has a dental emergency, call our West Roxbury pediatric dentist right away. We’ll guide you on what to do until you arrive.

What To Do Right Now

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, gently place it back in the socket or store it in milk and come in immediately. If a baby tooth is knocked out, do not reinsert it—call us for instructions.

Care for Children With Special Needs

Every child deserves respectful and compassionate care. We adjust our approach to fit your child’s unique needs, creating a calm and predictable environment.

Sensory-Friendly Visits

We can schedule quiet times, dim lights, or break care into smaller steps. Weighted blankets and other comfort tools are available to help children feel safe during their visit.

Ages and Stages

Dental needs evolve as kids grow. We tailor our care to each stage of childhood and adolescence.

Toddlers, Kids, and Teens

Toddlers benefit from short visits and parent guidance. School-age children need sealants and cavity prevention. Teens often require mouthguards, wisdom teeth monitoring, and ongoing cavity protection.

Home Care That Works

Strong oral health begins at home. We provide realistic, easy-to-follow advice for daily care.

Brushing, Flossing, and Diet

For kids under 3, use a rice-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste. From ages 3 to 6, use a pea-sized amount. Brush twice daily, floss once a day where teeth touch, limit sticky snacks and sugary drinks, and encourage water between meals.

Insurance, Payment, and Scheduling

We work with most insurance plans and help families make the most of their benefits. If you don’t have coverage, we offer flexible payment options.
