Pediatric Dentistry

Gentle, fun, and comprehensive dental care for children—from their very first tooth through adolescence.

About Pediatric Dentistry

At Fairfax Dental & Cosmetics, our pediatric specialists create a warm, welcoming environment that puts little ones at ease. We combine kid-friendly décor and distractions with gentle techniques and positive reinforcement, so every visit builds healthy habits and a lifetime of confident smiles.

How it Works

Friendly Welcome & Assessment

We begin with a relaxed meet-and-greet, health-history review, and age-appropriate oral exam.

Gentle Cleaning & Exam

Using pediatric-sized instruments and flavored pastes, we remove plaque and check for early signs of decay.

Preventive Treatments

Fluoride varnish, sealants for back teeth, and customized hygiene coaching keep decay at bay.

Education & Fun Follow-Up

We teach brushing and flossing techniques, send home fun activity charts, and schedule recall visits for ongoing support.

Who It’s For

  • Infants and toddlers (first visit by age one)
  • Children with risk of cavities or decay
  • Kids needing sealants, fluoride or habit counseling
  • Teens requiring growth & eruption monitoring
  • Families wanting a gentle, positive dental experience

No matter your child’s age or temperament, our team ensures a comfortable, playful atmosphere—with kid-approved tools, gentle touch, and clear, encouraging explanations—so both you and your little one feel confident and excited about dental visits.

have a question?

Quick answers to questions you may have

When should my child have their first dental visit?

By their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth.

Are baby teeth really that important?

Yes—healthy primary teeth guide proper growth, speech development, and chewing.

Do you apply sealants to kids’ teeth?

Absolutely—sealants block out decay in molars and reduce cavity risk by over 80%.

How often should children come in?

Most kids benefit from two visits per year; higher-risk children may need more frequent check-ups.
