Our Pediatric Dental Services

  • The "First Visit" (Age 1): We recommend children see a dentist by their first birthday. We focus on "Happy Visits" to get them used to the chair.

  • Preventative Cleanings & Exams: Professional cleaning to remove plaque and monitoring jaw development.

  • Dental Sealants: A thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent 80% of cavities.

  • Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening tooth enamel to keep Hawthorne kids cavity-free.

  • Gentle Fillings: Using tooth-colored materials that look natural and require less drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kids' Dentistry

  • When should my child first see a dentist?

    • The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing.

  • Q: Do you accept Denti-Cal or PPO insurance?

    • Yes! We work with most major PPO insurance plans and are committed to making quality care affordable for Hawthorne families.

  • Q: How do you handle children who are afraid of the dentist?

    • We use "Tell-Show-Do" techniques, kid-friendly language (like "tooth vitamins" instead of fluoride), and offer sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for a relaxed experience.
