Proactive Care for Healthy Smiles

Preventive Dental Care for Children in South Florida

Lay the Foundation for a Lifetime of Good Oral Health

Preventive pediatric dental care is the cornerstone of lasting oral health for your family. At American Pediatric Dental Group, we’re committed to providing comprehensive preventive dental services for children, adolescents, and teens in South Florida. Because the best dental treatment is the one that’s never needed, our practice focuses on measures that help prevent dental issues before they start, ensuring that our patients maintain healthy, vibrant smiles.

Benefits of Preventive Dental Care for Children

Preventive dental care for children is the key to keeping your family’s smiles healthy and to catching small problems before they become big ones. Our preventive care services keep teeth clean and help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental health concerns.

Comprehensive Oral Assessments for Children

Each visit begins with a thorough oral assessment, allowing us to monitor your child’s dental health, identify any early signs of dental concerns, and provide timely interventions. These assessments are crucial for tailoring our preventative care recommendations to each patient’s unique needs.

Professional Dental Cleanings for Children

Beyond daily brushing and flossing, professional dental cleanings for children are vital to removing plaque and tartar buildup, minimizing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Our skilled dental hygienists perform cleanings in a caring, precise, and gentle manner, ensuring a clean, healthy mouth and a brighter smile.

Fluoride Treatments for Children

Fluoride is a natural mineral proven to strengthen tooth enamel and fight tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially important for children as their dental health develops.

Dental Sealants for Children

A preventive measure particularly beneficial for children and teens, dental sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This protective coating effectively seals out food particles and plaque, reducing the risk of decay in these vulnerable areas.

Custom Mouthguards for Children

For our active patients, we offer custom-fitted mouthguards to protect teeth during sports and physical activities. These personalized devices are comfortable to wear and effective in preventing dental injuries.

Oral Health Education and Prevention

Empowering our patients with knowledge is a key part of our preventive care approach. We provide guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques, nutritional counseling to support dental health, and tips for maintaining a healthy smile at home, such as addressing habits like thumb sucking or improper brushing. Our team offers support, education, and solutions for parents and children.

An incredibly wonderful dental clinic, its staff is highly qualified, a very professional and friendly staff, very attentive, the treatment of children being the best I have ever seen. I recommend this clinic and its doctors and technical staff 100%.

Doctors are very friendly and understanding with kids, and also take parents in consideration to join the process and explain everything you need to know about your child's dental health. Making and rescheduling appointments is very easy. And there's almost no wait time.

Super attentive and knowledgeable. I appreciate how clearly the doctor explained everything and takes time to answer questions. Very gentle and thorough with my options.

The office is so clean and welcoming, and the staff makes children feel so comfortable. The way that they give details on what each child needs was so good. I’m happy that we made the decision to switch dental offices and come to American Pediatric Dental.

Amazing experience! I have been bringing my kids here for a while but today was the best experience yet. The dental hygienist was so patient and caring.

I've been taking my son here for more than 10 years. The staff are super nice and very professional as well as the doctors. I recommend this dentist to everyone.
