A child's first dental check-up is recommended by the age of 1, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends regular dental visits every six months starting with the first birthday. Early visits help protect your child's teeth and support good oral health. At your child's first appointment, we review your child's medical and dental health history with you, get to know your child, explain what will happen during the visit, and show them the tools we use with a gentle approach so they feel at ease.

Parents are encouraged to join their child so you can see us at work and talk through findings and treatment needs directly with the doctor. Your child receives a thorough head and neck exam and an evaluation of the teeth and gums to detect issues, with radiographs taken when needed.

If no treatment is needed, we clean your child's teeth and provide a fluoride treatment to support healthy teeth. Please bring your dental insurance card and arrive a little early to complete initial paperwork.

Yes. We offer both clear and metal braces to align teeth and bite, along with retainers that maintain results once braces have done their job and keep your child's smile looking its best. Our interceptive orthodontics services use appliances such as space maintainers, habit appliances, and distalizers to address early orthodontic concerns, which may help reduce the need for future treatment.

An orthodontic first visit includes a consultation to discuss your goals, a review of any x-rays and notes from your dentist, and a presentation of treatment options, timelines, costs, and payment options.

Many insurance plans include orthodontic coverage, and our team helps you understand how your plan applies. We also file insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients, and in some cases, health savings account funds can be used for orthodontics.

Our full range of pediatric dental services allows Lowell families to handle all of their child's oral care in one convenient place:

• Preventive and diagnostic dentistry: Oral evaluations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, digital radiographs, and dental sealants are preventive treatments that help children prevent cavities and build a foundation for lifelong oral health. We also share practical guidance on caring for your child's teeth at home between visits.
• Restorative dentistry: Cavity fillings, bonding, root canals, and pediatric dental crowns address tooth decay and return damaged teeth to proper health.
• Interceptive orthodontics: Space maintainers, habit appliances, and distalizers can address early orthodontic concerns and may reduce the need for future treatment.
• Orthodontics: Clear braces, metal braces, and retainers help align teeth and bite, then keep smiles looking their best.
• Sedation and anesthesia: Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia options help children feel calm and comfortable during treatment.

During regular office hours, call our Lawrence office at 978-682-3342, and our team will give immediate attention to your child's situation and arrange to see them as soon as possible.
