Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health needs of children, from infants to teenagers. At Litchfield Dental Associates, we provide gentle, compassionate, and specialized dental care designed to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong. Our goal is to create a comfortable and stress-free environment so children feel confident visiting the dentist.
We understand that some children may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. That’s why we offer:
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit by age one or when the first tooth appears.
Every six months for a checkup and cleaning to prevent cavities and monitor growth.
Yes! Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth, aid in chewing and speech development, and prevent future alignment issues.
We use a gentle approach, child-friendly language, and a comforting atmosphere to help ease dental fears.
Yes, early evaluations help detect bite issues, crowding, and jaw development problems, guiding future orthodontic care.
Mild grinding is normal, but excessive grinding may require a custom nightguard to prevent enamel wear.
Yes! Untreated cavities in baby teeth can lead to pain, infection, and premature tooth loss, affecting permanent teeth.
Ideally by age 2-3, as prolonged habits can affect bite alignment and tooth development.
Give your child a healthy start to lifelong dental care. Contact Litchfield Dental Associates today to schedule an appointment.
