KIDS’ CARE

Dental care built around how kids actually grow.

What your child needs changes year to year. Here’s what we offer at each stage, and when.

CARE BY AGE

What your child needs changes. So does the visit.

Ages 0–3

First tooth, first visit

Knee-to-knee exams with you holding your baby, teething guidance, and habits that prevent problems later.

  • Infant exams & oral hygiene coaching
  • Teething & pacifier guidance
  • Fluoride varnish

Ages 4–12

Growing-up years

Checkups every six months, protection for new molars, and gentle repairs when a cavity does show up.

  • Cleanings & sealants
  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Space maintainers

Teens

On their own terms

Straightforward conversations about whitening, mouthguards, and wisdom teeth — plus a smooth handoff to adult care.

FOR PARENTS

Questions we hear every week.

Still unsure about something? Call the front desk at 914-238-0202 — a person answers.

When should my child first see a dentist?

By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. Early visits are short, mostly conversation, and they set the tone for every visit after.

Can I stay in the room with my child?

Yes, always, for any appointment, any age.

Do you take my insurance?

We're in-network with most major plans and verify your benefits before your visit, so there are no surprise bills.

What if my child is scared of the dentist?

That's most of our patients. We slow down, narrate everything, and can split a visit into two if that's what it takes.

Can my kids and I be seen the same day?

Yes — book siblings back to back, or a parent at Chappaqua Smiles next door, in one call.
