All children deserve to have a positive dental experience, and they can have that experience at Clifton Pediatric Dental. Dr. Ari Sugarman, a pediatric dentist in Passaic County, and his staff understand that creating a pleasant environment is necessary for children when they come to the dentist.

Dr. Sugarman received his doctorate in dentistry from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and continued his General Practice Residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. He went on to do advanced training with a pediatric dental residency at Montefiore Medical Center. This afforded him the knowledge necessary to treat a wide range of dental problems in children and adolescents. In addition, Dr. Sugarman was specifically trained to meet the complex dental needs of children with associated medical, emotional or sensory issues.

After spending several years working in a New York health center, the time has finally come for Dr. Sugarman to open up his own private practice in Clifton. He lives in Bergen County with his wife and four children, with whom he loves spending his free time. Clifton Pediatric Dental Care treats their patients like family too, to ensure that each patient feels happy and well-cared for whenever they visit.

These are three things we guarantee when your child comes to Clifton Pediatric Dental Care. While your child's oral health will be meticulously cared for with With state-of-the-art technology and ample skills.

When it comes to kids of all ages, Clifton Pediatric Dental Care understands the importance of developing healthy habits in order to avoid the dreaded cavity or other dental problems that can be encountered. With great oral care there is no reason your child should end up with dental problems; however, because permanent teeth are more prone to getting cavities, regardless of how well you brush or floss, your child needs to make sure that he or she continues the oral care habits developed at a young age well into the future. When it comes to kids' dentistry in Passaic County, NJ, we have a wealth of information and tips. Here are a few:

Parents should brush preschoolers' teeth after breakfast and before bedtime. By the age of two, your child is ready to start flossing. When visiting the dentist, make it a positive experience and instill the notion that this is a fun and happy trip!

Continue supervising brushing until the age of 7 or 8. Supervise your child's flossing until they are 10 years old. Visit the dentist every six months. Get sealants put on your child's teeth. The majority of cavities in kids under 12 are on the surfaces of back teeth. By having sealants placed on your child's teeth, the risk of future dental problems is greatly minimized. Also try to limit snacks to healthy fruits and vegetables, rather than sugary options.

Tooth decay and gum disease affects 60 percent of teens. Teenagers typically eat nine times a day, and they tend to favor a diet full of sugars and starches. Remain watchful of their eating habits. Make sure your teenager is not putting off brushing and flossing.
