At AmeriDental, we make dental visits fun, educational, and stress-free for kids of all ages. Our North Brunswick and Hillsborough locations specialize in creating healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

We Care for Children at Every Stage:
- Infant oral exams
- Teething and eruption guidance
- Preventive cleanings and fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants and cavity protection
- Tooth-colored fillings and gentle restorations
- Habit counseling (thumb sucking, pacifiers)
- Early orthodontic assessments
What to Expect at Your Child’s Visit
- Warm Welcome: Our team greets you with a friendly smile and makes your child feel at ease.
- Kid-Friendly Exam: Gentle evaluation of teeth, gums, and jaw development.
- Preventive Treatments: Cleanings, fluoride, and sealants as needed.
- Oral Health Education: We teach kids (and parents) how to care for their teeth at home.
- Reward & Encouragement: Every visit ends on a positive note with fun incentives!
We also offer sedation options and behavior guidance techniques to ensure positive experiences, especially for nervous or special-needs children.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: When should my child first see a dentist?
A: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.
Q: How often should kids visit the dentist?
A: Just like adults—every six months for cleanings and exams, unless more frequent care is needed.
Q: What if my child is scared of the dentist?
A: We’re trained in pediatric behavior techniques and offer a calm, welcoming environment that helps children relax and build trust.
Q: Are baby teeth really that important?
A: Yes! Healthy baby teeth help with chewing, speech, and guide permanent teeth into place. Early care is essential.
