  • Do you take all insurance?

    Yes, we do! Call our office at New Bedford Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics if you're looking for a pediatric dentist who accepts all insurance.

  • What age should my child have their first dental visit?

    We recommend that children visit a pediatric dentist about six months after their first tooth emerges.

  • What is fluoride and is it safe for my child?

    Fluoride is a protective coating for your teeth. It helps to prevent cavities and keeps the enamel strong. According to the CDC, about 17% of kids aged six to nine already have cavities in their adult teeth. Fluoride is a completely safe way to prevent decay, alongside cleanings from a pediatric dentist.

  • What color will my child's filling be?

    We do not use silver fillings. We use white fillings. We also offer sedation dentistry for children if your little one is feeling anxious or fearful.
