Pediatric Dentistry in Mooresville, NC – Compassionate, Kid-Friendly Dental Care

When Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to:

• Monitor oral development
  
• Prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  
• Detect alignment issues before they worsen
  
• Help children become confident dental patients
  

We believe in a preventive-first philosophy that supports your child’s long-term health and gives parents peace of mind.

Our Pediatric Dental Services

Our goal is to make pediatric dental care simple, effective, and stress-free for both children and parents. At Davidson & Burr, we provide comprehensive services tailored to children of all ages.

Preventive Dental Cleanings & Fluoride Treatments

Routine cleanings and fluoride applications help protect developing teeth against cavities and buildup. These services are an important part of our preventive care approach.

Dental Sealants

Sealants provide an extra layer of protection on your child’s back molars, especially helpful for kids prone to cavities due to deep grooves in their teeth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

If cavities do occur, we restore the tooth using safe, natural-looking composite fillings. Learn more about our aesthetic approach on the Tooth-Colored Fillings page.

Digital X-Rays

We use low-radiation digital imaging to capture accurate, high-quality images of your child’s teeth and jaw — a vital part of early diagnosis and orthodontic planning.

Pediatric Sedation Dentistry

For children who are anxious or require complex treatment, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Visit our Sedation Dentistry page to explore how we keep appointments calm and stress-free.

What to Expect at Your Child’s Appointment

Step 1: Welcoming, Child-Friendly Environment

Our office is designed with young patients in mind — from a kids’ play area in the lobby to movies and headphones in the treatment rooms. We also welcome parents to accompany their children throughout the visit.

Step 2: Gentle Cleaning & Examination

We perform a gentle dental cleaning, evaluate the teeth and gums, and check for signs of decay, crowding, or other concerns. All explanations are tailored to your child’s level of understanding to ensure a calm experience.

Step 3: Education & Preventive Coaching

We provide tips and tools for at-home care, including brushing, flossing, and healthy food choices. These early lessons help build confidence and independence around oral hygiene.

Step 4: Treatment Planning, If Needed

If any issues are identified, we will walk you through treatment options in clear terms. We take a conservative approach and ensure your child remains comfortable throughout every step of care. For complex care, we may refer to services from our General Dentistry suite.

Pediatric Dental Care for All Ages

Our pediatric services are tailored to meet the changing needs of children from infancy to adolescence:

• Toddlers and Preschoolers: First dental visits, parent coaching, fluoride treatments
  
• Elementary School-Age: Cleanings, sealants, cavity prevention, oral hygiene support
  
• Teenagers: Orthodontic screenings, early Invisalign® discussions, wisdom tooth monitoring
