Your child’s dental needs differ significantly from your own. From rapidly changing dentition as baby teeth emerge and transition to permanent teeth, to developing jaw structures influence breathing and facial growth, children require dental approaches specifically tailored to their developmental stage.
Young adults also respond differently to dental environments—what might be a routine visit for an adult can be overwhelming for a child without the right approach. Children’s cooperation, understanding, and comfort levels vary greatly depending on their age, personality, and previous experiences. Every mom knows each child is unique, which is why our family centered care model adapts to individual needs and temperaments. A child-centered approach addresses these unique needs through communication techniques, behavioral guidance techniques, and an environment designed to build positive associations.
From Newborn to Young Adult Care Our pediatric dentist team provides care from your newborn’s first oral health assessment through young adults transitioning to independent dental care. We understand every stage requires different approaches, and our provider team has the knowledge to guide families through each developmental milestone with practical advice and compassionate support.

If you want to ensure your child has good dental care habits at home, we can help. Our provider team is more than happy to teach and demonstrate how to brush and floss their teeth while also giving practical guidance to parents who may need to help or want to get involved. Every mom receives personalized advice tailored to their child’s specific developmental stage and needs.
We recommend kids get into the habit of brushing their teeth for at least two minutes twice daily, using a soft toothbrush and child-friendly toothpaste. From newborn gum care to proper brushing techniques for young adults, our team provides age-appropriate instruction. Kids should use gentle pressure and a circular motion while brushing their teeth.
Kids should also get into the habit of flossing regularly, though this may require additional guidance from a parent or guardian until they can get the hang of it. Children may benefit from flossing with disposable picks if it is more comfortable, as these can be easier to manipulate when first getting into the habit.
As a parent, you should also ensure your kids make it to the pediatric dentist for all of their regular checkups. Most kids will be okay with two checkups every year, though others will benefit from visiting more frequently. We also coordinate with your child’s pediatrician for immunizations schedules and overall health planning. If your provider makes any specific recommendations for your child, be sure to follow these closely, and if you have any questions, you’re welcome to contact our team at Park Smiles NYC. We accept most insurance plans, making regular preventive care affordable and accessible.
As a parent, you want your children to have the best care so they can create healthy habits and receive the care they need. However, seeing a pediatric dentist for the first time can be overwhelming for children because they don’t know what to expect. This may also make you hesitant to take your child to a pediatric dentist, but it is important for your child to reach this milestone, which has the following benefits:
At Park Smiles NYC, we prioritize your child’s comfort and safety, using distraction and calming techniques to minimize fear. Our attentive provider team monitors signs of pain or stress to handle these moments effectively with compassionate care. We are well-versed in child behavior management, which ensures we are prepared to keep your child calm and give them a smooth, worry-free experience. Every mom can feel confident their child will receive kind, practical care makes dental visits amazing experiences rather than stressful ones. As your child keeps coming back to our relaxing offices, they will feel more comfortable with cleanings and treatments.
Proper oral hygiene can be challenging to teach at home, as children often have trouble sitting still and listening closely. With the help of our pediatric dentist team, your child can learn the best ways to brush and floss their teeth to create healthy habits early. From newborn oral care guidance to techniques for young adults, our team provides age-appropriate education.
We can also inform you and your child about foods can build tooth strength and habits to avoid, like chewing on toys or pencils, which can increase the risk of tooth chipping. Most importantly, taking your child to the pediatric dentist when they are young gets them used to getting regular cleanings, meaning they can continue to maintain their oral health as they get older. Our practical advice helps every person in your family maintain optimal oral health between visits.
As your child’s teeth develop and grow, oral health becomes increasingly important as they become more susceptible to conditions like cavities and teeth grinding. With the high-quality and detailed care of our proactive provider professionals, we can give you and your child the tools and information to prevent these issues early on. Whether it’s routine care or same day sick visits, our compassionate team provides the care your family needs.
For example, we may place sealants over molars to prevent cavity growth or mouthguards to prevent teeth-grinding during sleep. If your child does get a cavity or other tooth damage, we provide the treatment needed to identify and repair the tooth and prevent long-term problems. We accept most insurance plans and work with families to ensure every child receives the care they need, from newborn assessments through young adult services.
While most dentists can treat several types of oral issues and work with all types of patients, pediatric dentist professionals have training in treating and working with children and young adults. With this unique experience, we are perfectly positioned to handle your child’s unique needs, addressing specific childhood dental concerns, including thumb-sucking, tooth decay, and early tooth loss. Our amazing team combines clinical knowledge with family centered care makes every mom feel grateful for the quality of service.
Moreover, with our pediatric knowledge, we can help you understand proper oral hygiene practices to do at home and food promotes oral health. We also coordinate care with your child’s pediatrician for comprehensive health planning. Our practical approach includes advice on everything from newborn oral care to helping young adults transition to independent dental care. Ultimately, our well-trained provider team creates a child-friendly environment gives your child a positive experience with the kind of compassionate attention makes visits amazing rather than stressful.
We recommend scheduling your child’s first pediatric dentist visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. This timing follows the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s guidelines and allows us to establish baseline oral health information during a critical developmental period. These early newborn and infant visits primarily focus on parent education, gentle examination, and creating positive first experiences rather than extensive treatment.
We provide personalized guidance on cleaning techniques, dietary recommendations to prevent early decay, and habits support proper oral development. Our practical advice helps every mom feel confident about caring for their child’s oral health at home. Early visits also allow us to identify potential concerns like growth pattern variations or early decay risk factors when intervention is simplest and most effective. Establishing a dental home before problems develop helps your child build familiarity and comfort with pediatric dentist visits while giving you a trusted provider resource for any concerns might arise. Even if your child is beyond the recommended age for their first visit, it’s never too late to begin pediatric dental care—we excel at creating positive experiences for children of all ages with our compassionate, kind approach.
A pediatric dentist completes additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on treating infants, children, and young adults. Our provider team understands child development, behavior management techniques, and the unique dental needs change from newborn through young adult years.
