Young patient smiling at children's dentist in Towson MD Our friendly and gentle team at Osler Dental Professionals enjoy welcoming children into the office for dental treatments. We offer a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere and provide comprehensive dental care to meet all your child’s dental needs.

When Should Children Begin Seeing the Dentist?

We begin seeing children at age one and encourage regular dental appointments for your child after that time. The best way to help your children keep their teeth and gums healthy and strong is with routine dental visits for check-ups and dental cleanings.

We take our time during your child’s dental appointments, talking with you and your little one in a calming environment before proceeding with the exam or dental treatment to make the experience as relaxing and pleasant as possible.

Dr. Christopher J. Constantine and Dr. Lewis S. Libby firmly believe in providing each patient with the quality care and time they deserve, and they will never rush your child’s appointments. Please feel free to express any concerns or ask any questions that come to mind during your child’s visit.

What Are Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments?

With dental sealants and fluoride treatments, we can help protect your child against tooth decay. We can apply dental sealants and fluoride varnish to children’s teeth quickly and painlessly.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. Fluoride is often found in public water supplies, but we can also apply fluoride treatments directly to the teeth in our dental office.

It’s a safe and effective method for strengthening teeth, and it only takes a few minutes to apply it. We can even provide fluoride treatments as part of your child’s routine dental cleaning, making the treatment even more convenient.

Dental Sealants

All teeth have grooves, fissures, and pits that develop in them, and tooth decay often begins in those crevices. We can seal off those crevices with dental sealant, a liquid sealant that we paint on the tooth in our Towson dental office. Sealants can protect teeth for a long time, so your child can develop a healthy, happy smile with no need for dental fillings. Young patients often get dental sealants when their first permanent molars appear around the age of six.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a child have their first dental visit?

Osler Dental Professionals welcomes patients of all ages, including children. Dr. Constantine and Dr. Libby have several years of experience treating children's oral health needs with the utmost kindness and care.

Our gentle children's dentists in Towson, MD recommend that children have their first dental visit by 12 months of age or within six months of their first tooth coming in.

What to Expect at Your Child's First Dental Visit

A child's first dental visit usually lasts 30–45 minutes. Depending on the child's age, the visit may include a complete exam to assess their oral health, growth, and development.

During the exam, we will carefully check their teeth, gums, jaws, bite, and oral tissues to make sure they're problem-free and in good shape. Our dentists will also offer guidance for at-home oral hygiene, nutrition, and more.

Are dental sealants safe for my child?

Dental sealants are not only safe for your son or daughter, but they are also highly beneficial. Here's what you should know.

What Is a Dental Sealant?

A sealant is a micro-thin thin plastic coating that covers the grooves and chewing surfaces of your child's molars to keep out the harmful acids and bacteria that cause tooth decay and cavities.

Our pediatric dentists in Towson, MD find that children with dental sealants experience fewer problems with tooth decay than those who don't have them.

The procedure is non-invasive and comfortable, doesn't require dental anesthetics or numbing, and it's easy to complete in one short appointment. Sometimes we can even combine applying sealants with your child's routine teeth cleaning and checkup.

Most dental insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost of sealants for your child since this is a preventive procedure. This means there is little out-of-cost expense for getting sealants for your son or daughter if you have dental insurance.
