Our Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Children need good dental care in their first years of life, to develop good oral hygiene and good dental habits. Bringing your child to the dentist on a regular basis can help your child develop the kind of good oral care habits that they’ll carry with them into adulthood.
Tongue and Lip Tie Releases
We’re proud to offer expert care for tongue and lip ties in infants and children—right here in our community. Many families currently travel over an hour for these procedures, but we’re making it easier by providing this essential service close to home.
We use a state-of-the-art dental laser, which is considered the gold standard for tongue and lip tie releases. Laser treatment is gentle, precise, and minimizes discomfort and healing time—making it an ideal option for even the youngest patients.
Nitrous Oxide & General Anesthesia
Young children will naturally be apprehensive about many dental procedures. It is extremely beneficial for children to become used to dental procedures early on in their lives, as it will more likely reduce their anxiety as adults for more complicated operations.
We are proud to offer both Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) & General Anesthesia (sleep dentistry).
Dental Cleanings
Keep your child’s dental health in check with regular hygienic appointments to slough away hard-to-eradicate debris. We recommend dental cleanings twice a year to keep your smile healthy.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns in Pediatric Dentistry encase the entire tooth –front and back– rather than just the front surface. This option is typically used to protect and stabilize teeth that are cracked, decayed, or otherwise very weak. For children, crowns are commonly stainless steel for durability, with an all-white zirconia option available for families who prefer a tooth-colored appearance.
Low Radiation Digital X-Rays
Dental X-Rays are useful for the diagnosis of different ailments that could endanger the health of your teeth. It is extremely common to view the healthy development of teeth and gums for children, particularly those that have not yet crowned above the surface. Pediatric Dentistry of Reading offers Low Radiation Digital X-Rays.
White Fillings
White fillings are used to treat cavities or small holes in a tooth. Our team removes the decayed tissue and fills the hole with a strong material to keep your teeth healthy.
Fluoride and Varnish Treatments
When you come for a dental cleaning, your dentist will inspect your mouth for signs of a dental problem. Your teeth will be cleaned by a dental professional, and you may receive a Fluoride and Varnish Treatments to strengthen your enamel.
Sealants
A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating that dentists paint over the molars to shield them from bacteria. Dental sealants can help prevent cavities and protect teeth from dental decay.
