Our Services

At Shoals Pediatric Dentistry, PC, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services, including:

Pediatric Dental Exams and Cleanings: We recommend that children start visiting the dentist as soon as their first tooth erupts, or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. During the exam, we will thoroughly clean your child's teeth, check for any signs of decay or other issues, and provide personalized oral hygiene instructions.
General Dentistry: In addition to preventive care, we also offer a variety of general dentistry services, such as fillings, extractions, and root canals. Our team is skilled in treating children with special needs and can provide customized care to ensure a positive and comfortable experience.
Sedation Dentistry: We understand that some children may feel anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist. To help them feel relaxed and calm, we offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide and conscious sedation. We will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your child's needs and ensure their safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Pediatric Dental Emergencies: Accidents happen, and when they do, we are here to help. We offer emergency dental care for children, including toothaches, broken teeth, and other urgent dental issues. Our team is trained to handle dental emergencies quickly and effectively, and we will do everything we can to alleviate your child's discomfort and restore their smile.
