Smallberg & Satornino, DDS, PLLC offers complete pediatric dental care in Westbury, NY. As children’s dentists, we know how crucial it is for your child to stay healthy and will do everything in our power to ensure that.

Why Children Need Dental Visits?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that parents have infants’ teeth assessed by one year of age. However, most children do not need routine visits until about age 3.

All children need to see a dentist regularly to help them maintain optimal oral health. As the cornerstone of the best oral and even general health, it is important that your kids learn good dental hygiene habits at a young age, and one of them is regular dental visits. With consistent, routine visits, we can detect and treat infections early, preventing your kid from experiencing discomfort or early tooth loss.

Drs. Smalberg and Satornino are experienced in treating children of many ages. By speaking to children correctly, most can be treated in our office without referring them to a specialist. If a child has particular specialized needs, we work with the most qualified pediatric dentists in the region.

Dental Care for Kids

As your trusted children’s dentist in Westbury, we focus on preventative care first, just as we do with our adult patients. Proper home care is emphasized and reviewed with the parent/guardian and child.

We frequently recommend dental sealants for kids to protect teeth from decay. Looking at your back teeth, you can probably see the “hills and valleys” of enamel (the protective outer layer on teeth). A sealant fills the narrow “valleys,” where plaque can easily collect and form a cavity. The sealant forms an extra layer of protection so that plaque cannot get into the narrow areas of the tooth and form a cavity.

Aside from child dental check-ups and sealants, Smallberg & Satornino, DDS, PLLC also provides the following pediatric dental care services:
