If you are looking for a dentist who provides excellent care for the entire family you will want to make Pelham Bay Dental Associates the place you come to for complete dental care. When your child needs pediatric dental exams, you can be assured that your child will receive the best care possible when he or she is seen by our expert and highly-trained kids dentist in Pelham Bay.
At Pelham Bay Dental Associates we are very pleased to have two fine dentists available who will help you meet all of your family’s dental needs. Our expert dentists are: Dr. Joseph Landisi, Dr. Josephine Sullivan Homan Saleh, and Dr. Elena Holtzman. Our practice is state-of-the-art and specializes in preventive, restorative cosmetic, and implant dentistry. We also are happy to provide pediatric dental exams for our younger patients. Our dentists are specially trained to understand and treat problems that occur in the different development stages that a child’s mouth, teeth and gums go through. Our kids dentist in Pelham Bay also knows that he is your primary source of dental information about your child; he will always make sure to provide time at the end of each exam to answer all of your questions related to your child’s dental health.
Our kids dentist in Pelham Bay recommends that children have their first visit to the dentist when their first baby tooth emerges, or when they reach one year of age – whichever happens first. While baby teeth will eventually fall out, it is very important that they are kept healthy. Baby teeth serve very important functions: they act as place holders for permanent teeth; they are instrumental in helping children develop clear speech; and they allow a child to fully chew their food for easier digestion. During a pediatric dental exam our dentist will also be able to keep an eye out for any early developing bite or jaw problems. As with many medical issues, the sooner this problem is detected and treated, the easier the treatment, and the more likely the treatment is to be successful. Today it is believed that many orthodontic problems can be lessened when interceptive orthodontics is used around age 6 or older. This will lessen costs and tooth extractions down the road, when your child is an adolescent. If you are interested in having your child be seen by our pediatric dentist, contact our office for an appointment.
