Located in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, and serving all of the Main Line, we provide the most technologically advanced treatment for children, infants and teens in a warm and friendly environment. We had a very nice experience with Lower Merion Pediatric Dentistry. The front desk was responsive and helpful with coordinating paperwork before our appointment.
Dr. Horchos was engaging and thoughtful about the dental checkup process with both of my kids (ages 2 and 5). He explained each step of the checkup in a fun and engaging manner for them. Dr. Horchos was also thoughtful in responding to my questions and concerns. Patient and understanding, he gave me a full debrief on the dental outlook for my 5 year old including what he anticipates the next few years to be like from a growth perspective given her x-rays.
This was really informative and helpful for my husband and I to begin setting expectations and planning for my daughters dental care over the next few years. WOW. This was truly appreciated and IMO went above and beyond.

We are NOT trying to be the biggest practice, getting as many patients in and out the door as rapidly as possible, but we DO provide the most technologically advanced treatment in a warm and friendly environment.

Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his or her first birthday.
You can make visits to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
Once your young child becomes verbal, discuss the upcoming visit, telling him or her that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.
The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available.

If the procedure was in the lower jaw, then the tongue, teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
If the procedure was in the upper jaw, then the teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
Often, children do not understand the effects of local anesthesia, and may chew, scratch, suck, or play with the numb area.
These actions can cause minor irritations, or they can be severe enough to cause swelling and abrasions to the tissue.
Watch for darkening of traumatized teeth as this could be an indication of a dying nerve (pulp).
