Prevention is the key to good oral hygiene! At Maritime Pediatric Dentistry, we strive to provide a fun, educational environment to set your child up for a lifetime of healthy habits. We recommend early dental visits to help families understand how diet, brushing and flossing all contribute to good oral health.

If signs of dental decay are noted, we are committed to discussing all options and answering all questions prior to treatment. We have multiple options available, including ways to stop or slow the progression of the decay for smaller cavities. In the event a filling or crown is recommended, we offer tooth colored fillings, silver and white crowns.

Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. Our office offers nitrous oxide and general anesthesia.

When a child’s airway is small, underdeveloped or narrow, they may not be able to receive enough oxygen at night. This can lead to a condition called sleep disordered breathing. Some of the common signs include mouth breathing, snoring, grinding, restless sleep, learning difficulties among other other symptoms. If you suspect your child has any of these symptoms, please contact our office for an evaluation.
