Preventive Care
Preventive care is the foundation of our dental practice, and we encourage parents to bring their children in for regular dental exams and cleanings every six months. During these appointments, our dental team will thoroughly clean your child's teeth, remove any plaque or tartar buildup, and provide a fluoride treatment to help strengthen the enamel. We will also perform a comprehensive dental exam to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. If any issues are detected, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan to address them as soon as possible.
Restorative Care
If your child experiences tooth decay or damage, we offer a variety of restorative treatments to restore their oral health. These treatments include fillings, crowns, and root canals. Our dental team is experienced in working with children and will use gentle, minimally invasive techniques to ensure that your child is comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure.
Sedation Dentistry
If your child experiences anxiety or fear of the dentist, we offer sedation dentistry to help them feel relaxed and calm during their appointment. We take a gentle and caring approach to dental care and will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your child.

Orthodontic care is an important part of maintaining good oral health. At Walnut Hills Pediatric Dentistry, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments, including braces and aligners, to help straighten your child's teeth and improve their bite. We work closely with you and your child to develop a customized treatment plan that meets their individual needs and goals.
