Our mission at West Roxbury Smiles is to provide high quality pediatric dental and orthodontic care in a child-friendly and safe environment using safe biocompatible dental materials. We are committed to providing your child the optimum dental care they deserve in a gentle, caring, and fun atmosphere.
Our health-focused approach emphasizes oral health education, prevention, diagnosis and treatment necessary to maintain the oral health of infants, children and adolescents. At West Roxbury Smiles, oral health is more than just clean teeth; it is an integral component to general health. A healthy mouth correlates with a healthy body. Having healthy teeth is a life-long commitment that begins in childhood.
Our practice only uses the safest, biocompatible products for our patients. We are a mercury free practice and do not use silver, amalgam fillings which contain mercury. Instead we use composite white fillings and dental sealants that do not contain Bisphenol-A. Rest assured that we are concerned with the overall health of your child.
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. In addition to four years of general dental training, they have completed a minimum of two years of advanced and specialized training which uniquely qualifies them to care for children. If you are receiving care at an office offering general dentistry for children you are not seeing a pediatric dentist.
If you or your child is anxious about dentistry, outstanding oral health is still possible. If your child has medical, developmental or social problems, high quality dental care is still an option. Our dentists have been treating patients in these situations for many years and are dedicated to helping you reach your oral health goals.
West Roxbury Smiles is a comprehensive pediatric dentistry practice that gives your children the chance to have a positive and fun dental experience! Our pediatric dentists have been respected and trusted by thousands of parents throughout West Roxbury. We strive to create long lasting relationships as we develop trust with our patients and their families.
A pediatric dentist has an additional 2-3 years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to maximizing the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. Toddlers, preteens, teens and children with special needs require different approaches to dental care. Having a skilled pediatric dentist guiding your childrens dental growth and development increases their chances of avoiding future dental concerns later in life.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends regular dental visits for children starting at 1 year of age! It is important for the parents and the dentist to get an early start on a program that will prevent decay and minimize dental problems. Some of the pediatric dental services we offer include:
