Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive oral evaluations ensure early detection of dental issues while making children feel comfortable. The exams include digital X-rays when needed, fluoride treatments, and personalized care plans. Our experienced team uses child-friendly techniques to maintain positive experiences.
Dental Sealants
We apply protective sealants to back teeth to prevent decay in hard-to-reach areas. This quick, painless procedure creates a barrier against plaque and food particles. Ideal for children with developing molars needing extra protection.
Restorative Fillings
We offer composite and amalgam fillings to restore teeth affected by decay. Our child-friendly approach minimizes discomfort while preserving tooth structure. Both functional and aesthetic solutions ensure long-term oral health for developing smiles.
Emergency Dental Care
We provide immediate care for dental injuries, toothaches, and other urgent pediatric dental issues. Our team handles emergencies with compassion and expertise. Same-day appointments ensure timely treatment for children in pain.
Digital X-rays
Our low-radiation digital X-rays use ALARA principles for safe, accurate diagnosis. This technology allows precise treatment planning while minimizing exposure. Essential for monitoring tooth development and detecting hidden dental issues.

Report
Dr. Applebaum and his assistants did an amazing job with my four year old son. They completed a filling and my son was comfortable and compliant because the environment was relaxed and they ensured to talk and explain things to him While performing the procedure. The dentist sang and the ladies held his hands and were so sweet. I absolutely love this pediatric dental office!
