Give Your Kids High-Quality Pediatric Dentistry in Murrells Inlet

Healthy kids are more likely to have happy smiles, and your kids’ smiles are your favorite smiles. That’s just one of the reasons we are serious about pediatric dentistry in Murrells Inlet, SC. Our personal approach to dental care can:

  • Help your children remain free from cavities
  • Catch problems when they are still small
  • Keep your kids from developing dental anxiety
  • Give you one place to go for your entire family’s dental needs

If you want dental visits to be fun for your little ones, bring them to see us. Make an appointment at The Smile Center by calling 843-491-5353.

Your Kids Will Look Forward to Dental Visits

Helping kids is one of our favorite things to do. We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit around their first birthday. Our goal is to make this appointment as fun as possible. Your kid will get to meet members of our team, try out our headphones, and watch cartoons on TV. Before they leave, they will get to pick something from our treasure chest to take home as well. But we’re also here to answer your questions about caring for your child’s smile at home.

Here are examples of children’s dentistry services that will help your child:

  • Regular dental cleanings and exams are invaluable in preventing problems or treating any issues as early as possible.
  • Fluoride varnishes and dental sealants can reduce their risk of cavities.
  • As your kids get older, we can discuss orthodontic options.
  • You also protect them against dental injuries with our custom-made athletic mouthguards.

Many people who have dental anxiety recall an incident from their childhood that contributed to their fear. We want to avoid that by giving your children reasons to enjoy coming to see us. Our sedation dentistry and technology like The Wand® and air abrasion let us treat problems comfortably and painlessly. Your kids also can feel cozy with comfort items like blankets and pillows.

Make Great Oral Health For Kids a Habit

More than 40 percent of kids will develop a cavity by their 11th birthday. Encouraging healthy habits can keep your kids free from tooth decay and gum infections.

Caring for children will continue to be an important part of our family dentistry. And your family deserves top-quality pediatric dentistry in Murrells Inlet, SC. You will find it at The Smile Center. Call 843-491-5353 today to plan a visit with us.

Common Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dental care is dental care designed to help children under 18 enjoy happy, healthy smiles. Pediatric dentistry should help set a child up for a lifetime of good oral hygiene habits and a beautiful smile. At The Smile Center, your child’s dentist is ready to help them maintain optimal oral health.

Why is pediatric dentistry important?

Pediatric dentistry is important because children have different dental needs than adults do. Their jaws and teeth are still developing and need the skills of a dentist who is experienced in treating children on a regular basis. We love seeing kids of all ages in our office, so you can feel comfortable bringing them here for their smile care.

When should a child first visit the dentist?

Generally, children should start visiting the dentist around the time their first tooth comes through, or by their first birthday. It’s important that your child feels comfortable about visiting the dentist, so we maintain a kid-friendly atmosphere with a treasure chest so their experiences with us are positive from an early age. We’ll provide preventive care and closely monitor their dental development for any problems.
