What We Do

Pediatric dentistry requires two or three additional years of specialty training following dental school. Unlike typical family dentists, pediatric dentists care specifically for infants through adolescents, including children with special health needs.

Fluoride treatments are used on children and adults alike to prevent the development of cavities. Since a child’s teeth are “softer,” they are more prone to losing the essential minerals that help their teeth grow strong. Fluoride treatments are safe for children and are recommended as soon as the first tooth comes in.

Digital dental x-rays are used to spot cavities and other dental problems that are not easily apparent to the naked eye. The digital x-rays we take and the machines we use are extremely safe for children and expose your child to minimal radiation.

If our pediatric dentist notices a problem with the way your child’s jaw or teeth are aligned, we may go through the process of phase I orthodontic treatments. We may begin early orthodontic treatments if there is malocclusion, overbite, underbite, narrow jaw, or protruding teeth present. Our treatments are designed to reduce crowded and crooked teeth and gaps.

In some cases, a space maintainer is a necessary device that allows enough space to remain open for a permanent tooth to grow in after a baby tooth is lost. Without a space maintainer, the open space from a lost baby tooth poses a risk of tooth crowding and crooked teeth. Schedule a consultation with our pediatric dentists today.

If a child has a baby tooth that has decayed due to a cavity, they may require a pulpotomy. If a cavity isn’t treated, it can grow close to the pulp of the tooth or even into it. Dr. Tommy will remove the infected area of the tooth, making sure to leave the living tooth root intact. Then, he will place a dental crown to restore the remainder of the baby molar.

To help your child cope through a dental procedure, our office uses nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to help relieve your child of anxiety.

We try to create a stress-free, welcoming environment for all our patients of all ages, so they have a comfortable experience at our dental office.

At Bear Brook Dental Care, we use only the best, latest technology for the safest cavity treatments and fillings for our pediatric patients. When your child has a cavity, it’s important to have the tooth filled immediately so further tooth decay is prevented. Our pediatric dentists will evaluate your child’s cavities, taking into account which cavity treatment option is best. We offer white fillings and crowns for the decayed areas of the child’s tooth.

If your child is complaining of tooth pain, they could have a cavity. Our dentists understand the proper treatments for adolescent cavities, so there’s no bacterial infections or other dental problems.

We offer comprehensive preventative treatments and regular dental care cleanings and exams. Our treatments are designed to detect oral health problems at their earliest stages before they worsen.

Tongue-tie is a tight string of tissue under the tongue (lingual frenum) that restricts normal tongue movement and inhibits the tongue from functioning properly. This condition typically runs in the family. If the upper lip is restricted and cannot move freely, the condition is called lip-tie.

A dental emergency is any oral issue that is causing you pain and discomfort, that you cannot treat on your own. This includes oral injuries, such as:

• Impacted teeth (teeth driven back into the socket)
• Cracked, chipped, and damaged teeth
• Oral damage like cheek and gum lacerations
• Loose teeth
• Damaged fillings or crowns
