Pediatric Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY

A healthy smile starts early. At Sconzo and Sciascia General Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, we understand that children have unique dental needs—and deserve care that is gentle, encouraging, and effective. By introducing your child to the dentist from infancy, you set them up for a lifetime of good oral health habits and positive dental experiences.

Our experienced team makes visits fun and comfortable, helping children feel at ease while ensuring their teeth and gums stay strong and healthy.

Pediatric Dental Services

We provide comprehensive dental care tailored to children of all ages:

  • Teeth Cleaning & Exams – Gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar while we check for cavities and track your child’s dental development.

  • Cavity Fillings – Whether tooth-colored (composite) or silver (amalgam), our fillings restore function and stop decay before it becomes a bigger problem.

  • Dental Sealants – A thin, protective coating applied to back molars that helps prevent cavities in cavity-prone areas.

  • Dental X-Rays – Safe imaging to detect hidden cavities, monitor tooth growth, and ensure proper alignment.

  • Infant Dental Care – First visits recommended by age one, or within six months of the first tooth erupting, to establish healthy habits early.

Benefits of Pediatric Dentistry

  • Promotes healthy teeth and gums from an early age.

  • Builds lifelong habits of regular dental care.

  • Boosts self-confidence by protecting your child’s smile.

  • Allows early detection and treatment of dental issues.

Caring for Your Child’s Teeth at Home

Parents play a key role in children’s oral health. Many kids don’t have the coordination to brush effectively until around age 7 or 8, so brushing and flossing with your child is important. Remember to:

  • Brush your child’s teeth twice daily.

  • Replace their toothbrush every 3 months.

  • Follow your dentist’s guidance on visit frequency.

Pediatric Dentistry FAQ

Should I bring my baby to the dentist if they don’t have teeth yet?

Yes. Experts recommend a first visit by age one—even if no teeth have erupted. This allows the dentist to check oral development and provide early guidance.

Speak positively about your own dental visits, read children’s books about the dentist, and choose a provider experienced in pediatric care who knows how to make visits fun.

Watch for toothaches, pain while eating, bad breath, visible holes, or dark spots on the enamel. If you notice these symptoms, schedule a visit right away.
