At Pediatric Dentistry of Reading, we specialize in the treatment of infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. We believe that through the use of gentle dentistry, we can create a pleasant dental experience for children at an early age, and they will be more likely to have a positive attitude towards dentistry that will last a lifetime.
From arcade games and movies to a coffee bar, our goal is to create an environment that is not only comfortable and inviting for our "pint-sized" patients but for you, the parent, as well. We want to thank you for choosing us to address your child's unique dental care needs and invite you to continue exploring our site to see who we are and what makes us the perfect office to care for your child.

Services
In a pediatric dental office, our specialist and staff are specifically trained to work with infants, children, adolescents, and those with special health care needs.
After attaining a traditional dental degree, a Pediatric Dentist then completes 2-3 years of additional training.
Upon completion of this specialty training, the Pediatric Specialist limits his/her practice to treating only children.
Whether your children have anxiety or face developmental or medical challenges; whether it's their first visit, or they are a seasoned pro, our goal is to create the most pleasurable experience as possible.

Whether it's during the day or after normal business hours, we have got you covered!
Should your child experience a dental emergency, we are here to help with a doctor on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
If you have a serious concern about your child please call the office immediately 484-334-2310 or take your child to the emergency room.
If your child experiences a toothache, the first step is trying to find exactly what area of the mouth or which tooth is causing discomfort.
Have your child brush, rinse, and floss the area to dislodge any impacted food that may be causing the problem.

We, at Pediatric Dentistry of Reading, as well as The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and The American Dental Association (ADA), recommend that your child see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her 1st birthday.
Knowing what to expect at your child's first dental visit can help eliminate any anxiety about this milestone for both you and your child.
This visit will take about 30 minutes.
At this exam (and every subsequent exam) we will do a close inspection of your child's lips, cheeks, tongue, floor/roof of mouth, throat, teeth and gums.

General Anesthesia, often referred to as "being put to sleep" or "sleep dentistry, " is a medical procedure that renders your child completely asleep in a pain-free environment, allowing for the safe provision of dental diagnostics and treatment.
Treatment is completed in a hospital or surgical center setting and conducted as 'outpatient' surgery, meaning that the patient is usually able to go home a few hours after the procedure is finished.
Dental treatment under general anesthesia is an effective way to provide care to apprehensive children, children too young to be able to sit in the dental chair for treatment, and children or adolescents with special health care needs.

The first visit helps not only to introduce your child to the dental setting at an early age, but also allows the dentist and staff to provide helpful information to parents about the oral health of their child and answer any questions they might have.
