Pediatric Dentistry

Our team specializes in providing care to the whole family and has extensive experience in fulfilling many important functions pertaining to your child’s overall oral health and hygiene. We emphasize the importance of getting your children in to see the dentist at a young age in order to ensure that baby teeth are growing properly and to ensure good chewing habits, proper speech production, and to ensure space for permanent teeth.

Pediatric Dentistry

At Reston Station Dental, we understand that exceptional dental care is essential for every child’s health and well-being. Our team of specialized Reston pediatric dentists is dedicated to providing the highest quality care in a nurturing environment that ensures each visit is a positive and stress-free experience. With years of advanced training in child-specific dentistry and child psychology, we’re trained and experienced to meet the unique dental needs of infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special healthcare requirements. We focus on preventive care to help your child maintain a healthy, beautiful smile that will last a lifetime.

Our Pediatric Services

Preventative Dentistry

We provide regular dental exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect your child’s teeth. Our team emphasizes proper oral hygiene education and nutrition counseling to support lifelong oral health monitoring development to prevent issues before they arise.

Restorative Dentistry

Our restorative services include tooth-colored fillings and pulpectomy (baby root canals), repair of cavities or dental injuries, and preserving primary teeth to maintain space for proper permanent tooth development.

Extractions & Space Maintenance

If a baby’s tooth cannot be saved, we perform gentle extractions. Space maintainers ensure proper alignment of permanent teeth after early tooth loss.

Interceptive Orthodontics

Early orthodontic interventions guide jaw and tooth development to prevent future misalignment, using devices like habit appliances and space maintainers.

Cleft Lip & Palate Treatment

We collaborate with specialists to offer comprehensive care for children born with cleft lip or palate, addressing oral function, speech, and appearance.

Sedation Dentistry

We understand that some children may feel anxious about dental visits. That’s why we offer a range of sedation options to ensure that all procedures are performed in a stress-free environment. Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation are available based on the child’s needs. Our trained team ensures that each sedation option is safe and appropriate for the child’s level of anxiety or the complexity of the procedure.

Pediatric Emergencies

We provide quick, compassionate care for dental emergencies such as broken teeth, severe toothaches, and knocked-out teeth, prioritizing your child’s comfort and recovery.

Orthodontics

We offer metal and clear ceramic braces, as well as retainers, to correct bite issues and crowding, ensuring your child’s smile is both functional and attractive. For a more discreet option, ask us about Invisalign in Reston for your child’s orthodontic needs.

Our Approach

Our pediatric care approach combines expert, compassionate dental care with a fun and comfortable environment to ensure a positive experience for every child. Led by Dr Sandhya Pal and Dr. Alejandra Pernia, our skilled Reston pediatrics team is dedicated to easing anxiety and building confidence in young patients. To keep children entertained, we offer Xbox consoles, toys, and a wide selection of video games and movies on demand. Each treatment room is also equipped with overhead TVs streaming Netflix, allowing kids to choose their favorite shows or movies during their visit. By combining professional excellence with entertainment and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, we help create a lifelong positive attitude toward dental health.

Benefits of Early Dental Visits for Kids' Oral Health

Establishing a Positive Dental Relationship

Early dental appointments introduce children to the dental environment in a stress-free manner, helping to reduce fear related to future dental visits.

Monitoring Growth and Development

Dentists can track your child’s dental growth, identifying any deviations from normal development, whether it’s monitoring the eruption of baby teeth or ensuring the proper alignment of permanent teeth

Enhancing Overall Health

Oral health has a direct link to overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to infections, inflammation, and even systemic issues like heart disease or diabetes. Early dental care supports general health by identifying potential problems early.

Early Detection of Orthodontic Issues

Early dental visits enable pediatric dentists to detect orthodontic issues like misaligned teeth or bite problems early. This proactive approach can prevent more complex treatments later, such as braces, and also helps in preventing serious issues like cavities or gum disease while promoting effective oral hygiene habits.
