A Whole-Body Approach to Children’s Dentistry
Mineola Dental Wellness is committed to helping all children achieve a lifetime of healthy smiles.
At Mineola Dental & Wellness, our pediatric dental services aren’t just about fixing cavities—they’re about setting the foundation for lifelong health. Every treatment plan is customized with your child’s unique needs, sensitivities, and development in mind. We proudly use fluoride-free and BPA-free materials, and our entire practice follows mercury-free, biocompatible, and non-toxic protocols for your child’s safety.
Here’s what comes with your child’s dental care at Mineola:
- Gentle cleanings using fluoride-free polish and paste
- Comprehensive exams with cavity detection and growth monitoring
- Safe, non-toxic sealants for cavity prevention
- Holistic education on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
- Support for dental anxiety using calm, integrative techniques
- Myofunctional therapy for speech and breathing issues
- Ozone therapy for natural antibacterial treatment when needed
We believe that children deserve the same level of thoughtful, toxin-conscious care as adults—and more.
Is a Pediatric Dentist Different from a Regular Dentist?
Yes, and the difference matters—especially for growing smiles. A pediatric dentist undergoes additional years of specialized training focused exclusively on the dental development of infants, children, and teens. At Mineola Dental & Wellness, we take it a step further by integrating this expertise with holistic and biological dentistry.
We understand that children are still developing physically and emotionally, which is why our pediatric care:
- Avoids chemicals that could impact long-term health
- Prioritizes early detection and proactive guidance
- Uses minimally invasive and preventive approaches
- Honors the connection between oral health, immune function, sleep, and nutrition
Your child’s mouth isn’t just a set of teeth—it’s the gateway to their entire body’s well-being. We treat it accordingly.
At What Age Should a Child See a Pediatric Dentist?
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by age 1, or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first. Early visits help familiarize your child with the dental environment, catch potential concerns before they become problems, and give parents the tools they need to support great oral habits at home.
Our team makes early visits fun and pressure-free. From the moment your child walks in, they’re greeted with warmth, patience, and care that builds trust and comfort. Starting young also allows us to work together with families to:
- Prevent early childhood cavities
- Monitor proper bite and jaw development
- Support speech and airway growth
- Identify tongue ties or oral function issues early
Early holistic care can prevent a lifetime of dental issues.
