Sealants
A dental sealant is a thin coating applied to your child’s back teeth to fill grooves in the enamel and prevent cavities from forming.
Read More +The back teeth (molars) tend to have grooves and ridges on their surface. These are prime spots for food debris to become stuck leading to decay. Dental sealants can smooth out the rough surface of the teeth and offer protection against cavities and decay. They are often applied to the permanent molars as soon as they erupt in a child’s mouth.

Fluoride Applications
A high concentration of fluoride is painlessly applied to your child’s teeth to strengthen their enamel and prevent cavities.
Read More +Fluoride is a naturally occurring element that makes your child’s teeth less vulnerable to acid attacks caused by plaque, bacteria and sugar and can reverse very early decay. Professional fluoride treatments are quick and painless and can be applied during a regular checkup. These treatments contain a much higher level of fluoride than what is found in over-the-counter toothpaste and mouth rinses.
Read Less -Fillings
A tooth-colored composite filling is used to fill in cavities and repair chips, cracks, and other damage to your child’s teeth.
Read More +When your child has a cavity, you can count on the team at Tribeca North Dentistry to provide gentle, professional care. We will do all we can to protect the natural tooth structure and to provide a stress-free experience for your young family members.

Crowns
A dental crown is used to repair broken teeth, restore teeth with large cavities, or cover an underdeveloped tooth.
Read More +Crowns can be used on a child’s tooth for a variety of reasons including extensive decay, fracture, or a tooth that did not develop properly. When a crown is necessary, we will work to ensure your child is comfortable.

Orthodontics
Early orthodontic treatment is used to guide the growth of children’s teeth with orthodontic appliances or partial braces.
Read More +Early orthodontic treatment is sometimes necessary to guide the growth of children’s teeth through the use of orthodontic appliances or partial braces. Through phase-one orthodontics, we can create a better environment to facilitate adult teeth as they emerge.

Dr. Ta really knows what she is doing! Due to bad experiences with other orthodontists in the past/as a teenager, I was really nervous about needing adult braces.

Complete dental checkups in Tribeca
Start your child down the path of amazing oral health and wellness! Our experienced pediatric dentists and caring team provide the children of our community with excellent preventive dental care. Here’s what you can expect when you book your child’s first dental appointment at our Tribeca office:
Painless cleanings
Even with good brushing and flossing at home, every child can benefit from regular dental cleanings. A member of our hygiene team will gently clean your child’s teeth to remove any plaque and any other build-up. Next, we will brush, floss, and polish your child’s teeth for a happier, healthier smile.
Gentle exams
Once your child’s teeth are fresh and clean, your child’s dentist will perform an oral exam to check their teeth, gums, tongue, and other tissues. The dentist will look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, tissue injury, and issues with tooth or jaw development. This allows our team to make timely treatment recommendations.
Patient education
The most important part of achieving a healthy smile happens at home! Good dental hygiene between visits is essential to maintaining good oral health, especially for cavity-prone young children. Our team will show your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth so they can take an active role in their dental care. We will also show you ways to help them establish good habits.
Frequently asked questions
What can I expect during my child’s first dental visit?
You and your child can expect compassionate and personalized attention. We will take our time to help make sure your child feels comfortable in the dentist’s chair, explain every step of their appointment, and keep them calm and relaxed throughout their appointment. Our team is trained to treat children with a gentle and nurturing approach, and we will do everything we can to give your child the best possible experience.
How often should my child see the dentist?
Be sure to book regular checkups every six months, or as recommended by your child’s dentist. Keeping a regular preventive care regime will help keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong.
How can I help my child prevent cavities?
While young children are more prone to cavities than older kids and teens, it’s important to help them develop good habits. Teach your child to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily. Be sure to limit sugary foods, beverages, and snacks, as they can break down your child’s enamel and cause cavities. You can also prevent cavities by getting sealants applied to the surfaces of your child’s back teeth, sealing out cavity-causing bacteria.
When should I take my child for their first dental visit?
Children need to see the dentist just like adults do. You can expect to take your child to their first dental appointment by their first birthday, or when their first tooth comes in. This will allow your child’s dentist to monitor the growth and development of their teeth and jaws, making timely treatment recommendations as issues arise.
