General Info
Drs. Schapiro and his associates are well trained in all phases of Pediatric Dentistry. Before initiating any treatment, they will review your child's medical history thoroughly, and call your pediatrician if there are any medical concerns. They will answer any of your questions and review treatment options, so that you feel confident that your child is getting the best dental care possible. And before any treatment is started, fees are discussed so that there are no surprises at the end of the visit. Oral Hygiene An integral part of maintaining your child's dental health and establishing good habits for home care and diet are check-ups on a regular basis. The frequency of the visits depends on your child's needs and oral health, but most children are seen every six months. During these check-up visits, your child's medical history will be updated, x-rays may be taken, and the teeth will be checked for cavities. Oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) instructions will be given, and your child will be checked for any developing orthodontic needs. Fluoride treatments will be given and any supplemental fluoride tablets or drops for home use will be prescribed when appropriate (Cecil County has no fluoride in the drinking water). If you are unsure of the fluoride content of your drinking water, you can bring us a small sample of the water and we will send it to a lab to analyze the fluoride concentration for you.
