Pediatric Dentist Serving Boxford, MA

Andover Pediatric Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care for children, teens, and patients with special needs from Boxford and beyond. The heart of our practice is preventive care, which lays the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. If a tooth has been damaged due to decay or dental trauma, our pediatric dentists can restore its function, strength, and appearance with restorative dentistry, including dental fillings, pediatric dental crowns, and pulp treatment. We’re also proud to offer orthodontics and interceptive orthodontics so your child can get all of the dental care they need under one roof. For patients with anxiety and special needs, we can perform all of our procedures with the aid of dental sedation and anesthesia.

Both the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend that children begin seeing the dentist by the age of 12 months, or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth. Early dental visits help establish our practice as your family’s dental home.

Just like adults, children need to see the dentist for dental cleanings and comprehensive oral evaluations every six months.

Yes, we follow all sedation guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry to ensure our patients’ safety. We offer several levels of sedation at our practice, but our preferred option is nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, which has very few risks, complications, or side effects.

We recommend that children see an orthodontist by the age of 7 for an evaluation of their teeth and bite. During this appointment, we’ll determine whether early orthodontic treatment is needed now or within the next few years. Most children do not begin treatment at this early age, but if it is needed, it can reduce the amount of time they need for braces when they are older.

We consider it a dental emergency if your child is experiencing unbearable pain or if urgent treatment is required in order to save a tooth. In these cases, contact us right away so we can arrange to see you as soon as possible.
