Early Dental Care

Practicing excellent oral hygiene is the key to maintaining good overall health – for patients of all ages! Parents must introduce proper oral care early in a child’s life, as early as infancy.

Parents are responsible for ensuring their children brush and floss every day, and we encourage them to lead by example.

Why Fix Baby Teeth?

Baby teeth, just like adult teeth, have a nerve that can feel sensations such as hot and cold. If not taken care of and a deep cavity progresses to the nerve, a child can experience pain, swelling, and infection.
Cavities can cause many real-life issues for children including low self-esteem, difficulties with chewing/eating, speech, and even potential for crowding of permanent teeth in the future.

Regular Visits

Visiting your dentist at least twice a year allows us to thoroughly clean your teeth, and dental exams give us the ability to evaluate any potential problems (i.e. cavities, gingivitis, etc.) before they become more serious. Call us at 954-932-8005 to schedule an appointment.

We are also able to recognize whether a patient is getting proper nutrition, maintaining a proper oral hygiene regimen and whether there are any growth or development problems. To ensure you and your family are practicing good oral hygiene at home, be sure to:

Brush at least three times a day using a fluoridated toothpaste
Floss daily
Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet

The Proof is in Our Patients

Had a great experience! I my son is five years old and they did a great job working on his teeth when he came back, it looked like he had veneers. They were pearly white and done to perfection. Thank you so much for helping my son and making sure it was a pleasant experience will recommend and definitely will use them in the future.

I highly recommend American Pediatric Sedation Center. The staff and dentists are all professional, caring and helpful. I was very nervous going through the Sedation process, it can be a bit overwhelming. The staff eased my mind, explained the plan of the procedure in detailed ( before, during & after), answered any questioned I had and took the time to reassure me my kids were in good hands. The procedure went smooth and all dental work was completed in 1 visit.

Very professional. Easliy guided us through the treatment plan after they reviewed my son was checked in. Removed many cavities and did the anesthesia under 1 :00 if not sooner. They were very friendly and the Dr was obviously very intelligent when it came to children. My son wasn't as nervous with this dentist as the last one 5 star experience

Your child's smile is affordable!

Sedation Dentistry for children is affordable at American Pediatric Sedation Center. In accordance with our mission statement, American Pediatric Sedation Center is committed to providing affordable anesthesia services to our patients with a board-certified anesthesiologist. When performing sedation dental treatment with anesthesia, there are two components to the cost: Medical (anesthesia) and Dental fees. A minimal sedation fee covers the medical (anesthesia) part of the procedure, which is used to keep your child feeling calm, comfortable, and safe during their visit. The board-certified anesthesiologists are not in network with any medical insurance and are billed separately for their services. The dental treatment will be covered by your dental insurance based on your dental coverage.

If you have any questions regarding the cost of the medical (anesthesia) services, call our office at (954) 417-1330. We accept most major dental insurance plans to cover your child’s dental treatment, including Medicaid, PPO, and HMO plans.
