Dr. Adam Pollock and his team strive for a warm and welcoming environment. Our goal is to provide children with a positive experience at the dentist to create a foundation of dental health that will last a lifetime. From checkups to fillings, Dr. Pollock provides everything kids need to have healthy teeth and gums. One of our core beliefs is that a child who has a positive experience at the dentist is much more likely to continue routine visits throughout their teen years and into adulthood.
That experience is best delivered by a pediatric dentist.

We love caring for your children's dental health and are 100% committed to creating positive experiences for them, because kids that are comfortable at the dentist are much more likely to continue routine visits as they get older.
Dental exams are an important part of maintaining your child's health and a cornerstone of our practice.
Exams help us learn about your child's teeth and oral health and help us determine the course of action we should take now and in the future.
When your child has a dental exam, we strive to make them feel comfortable and explain exactly what is happening and the sensations they will feel in ways that make sense to them, to develop trust between us and your child.

Dr. Pollock recommends seeing children early, typically by age two, unless there is a concern.
We also strongly suggest creating a regular dental exam and cleaning schedule to keep your children's teeth healthy and cavity-free as they grow.
Baby teeth are just like grown-up teeth and are vulnerable to tartar and plaque and can develop cavities and even become infected.
Team Pollock is here to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's also important to remember that even though baby teeth are temporary, they play a large role in how your child's adult teeth emerge.

X-rays are an important part of your child's dental exam and a crucial diagnostic tool that can detect much more than a cavity.
X-rays can expose fractures in a tooth below the gum line, diagnose bone disease, check progress on past dental work, and plan needed future dental treatments.
Because their mouths change rapidly as they grow, children require dental X-rays more often than adults.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends X-rays with exams every six months for children with a high risk of tooth decay; our recommendation for X-rays is always based on your child's individual needs and when necessary to evaluate and monitor your child's oral health.

Cavities are like snowflakes: no two are exactly alike, and how we deal with your child's cavity depends on many things, including your child's age, the cavity's location, and how much longer we think the tooth is going to stay in the mouth.
Cavities are permanently damaged areas in your child's teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes.
Fillings restore a tooth that has been penetrated by a cavity to help prevent infections and further damage to the infected tooth or neighboring teeth.
Fillings are important because infections can grow to more serious problems, causing damage to gum tissue, your child's jawbone, or their incoming permanent teeth.

If your child has dental issues that are causing pain and/or discomfort, they may need to be sedated during treatment.
Some dental procedures require that your child be completely still, which, as you know, can be a challenge.
Perhaps your child has anxiety or sensory issues to different noises.
There may also be a lot of work to be done which would stretch beyond his or her level of patience.
Dr. Pollock uses two very common, very safe methods to lightly sedate patients: Nitrous oxide and Versed (Midazolam.)
