Gentle, Preventive Care for Bright Futures
Keeping Little Smiles Healthy, One Visit at a Time
At The Smile Spot in Midtown, we believe in starting strong.

With modern tools, compassionate care, and a team that truly understands kids, we make preventive dentistry a positive experience for every family.
What Is Pediatric Preventive Dentistry?
Pediatric preventive dentistry focuses on stopping dental problems before they start. With services like cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and X-rays, we monitor your child’s oral development and reinforce habits that support long-term health. Preventive visits are the foundation for fewer dental issues, more confident smiles, and a lifelong love of the dentist.
Why Choose Preventive Care at The Smile Spot?
Pediatric Specialists Who Get Kids
Our Midtown team is trained to care for children of all ages and needs — including those with anxiety, sensory challenges, or first-time nerves.
Technology that Makes a Difference
Digital diagnostics help us see more, faster — while keeping your child safe and comfortable throughout the visit.
Preventive Tools That Work
Fluoride and sealants help us stay ahead of tooth decay, especially during those crucial brushing-learning years.
Whole-Health, Whole-Mouth Focus
We don’t just check teeth — we monitor gums, bite alignment, and overall development to support your child’s total oral health.
Services We Offer
Dental Cleanings
Our team uses gentle techniques to clean teeth thoroughly while making sure your child feels safe and supported.
Digital X-Rays
We use low-radiation digital X-rays to track tooth growth, catch hidden issues, and guide early intervention.
Oral Cancer Screenings
As part of our comprehensive exams, we check for early signs of soft tissue abnormalities to keep your child’s entire mouth healthy.
Dental Sealants
Sealants provide a protective barrier over molars and hard-to-clean areas — helping prevent cavities before they form.
Fluoride Treatments
Topical fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces cavity risk, especially for younger or cavity-prone children.
Sedation Options
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for children who need extra help relaxing during their appointment.
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Healthy gums are essential for growing smiles. We monitor for early signs of inflammation and provide conservative care when needed.

FAQs

Sealants are most commonly recommended for kids with deeper grooves in their molars — especially once those permanent back teeth come in.
Yes — we specialize in compassionate care for all children and offer nitrous oxide sedation when needed to help your child stay relaxed.
