Alan Ko, Brittany Bressler, and Saeed Kashefi — love to see little smiles flourish with good health. We welcome you to visit our Milford, Massachusetts office to enjoy the commitment and gentle care that sets us apart.
Our pediatric dental care services
We understand young smiles need extra attention. Our dental team has years of experience and training to ensure tiny teeth and gums are cared for with the attention they deserve.
Our children’s dental care services include:
- Growth and Development, and Airway Health: This is our passion! Growth and development issues in young children and adolescents often show up with dental crowding, ADHD, snoring, grinding, and other symptoms one wouldn’t associate with the mouth and airway. We try to guide kids when they are young and help them develop healthy habits for better oral health and sleep.
- Preventive dentistry: While we emphasize diligent brushing and flossing at home, we have a role in helping your child’s smile grow healthy. We offer routine exams, cleanings, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments to avoid future dental issues.
- Restorative dentistry: Young smiles are also at risk of decay. We offer pediatric fillings and other treatments to restore your child’s oral health and aesthetics.
- Emergency dental care: You can count on our dental team when your child needs urgent dental care. We have the experience and technology to offer expert dental care when seconds matter.
- Tailor-made education: We help your child take charge of their oral health using age-appropriate verbiage so they too, can understand the importance of their tiny smiles. We teach parents the best practices to care for their children’s oral health, including proper brushing and flossing techniques. Additionally, we provide insights into the potential risks associated with habits like thumb-sucking, excessive pacifier use, and mouth breathing.
Is it your child’s first dental visit? Don’t worry! We will make your child’s dental visit as comfortable as possible. Our team will make the child feel comfortable and relaxed. We will talk to both the child and the parent, explaining what will happen during the visit in a friendly and gentle manner.
