Kids aren’t just smaller versions of adults. They have special needs and require a different approach than their older peers. Hoyos & Pinto is proud to offer comprehensive pediatric dental care for our youngest patients in Fairfax Station. From their first tooth until their mid-teens, we will be there to help prevent cavities, promote overall oral health, and ensure a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles.
Has your child recently celebrated their first birthday or had their first tooth come in? Now is the time to begin regular checkups with your pediatric dentist. Call today to schedule your child’s first appointment!
Most kids are not exactly eager to visit the dentist. At Hoyos & Pinto Dentistry, we practice various techniques that are custom-tailored to the child’s age and temperament. Each time your child visits our practice we want it to be a positive experience. Some of the pediatric engagement techniques we practice include positive reinforcement, “tell-show-do,” and distraction methods.
Hoyos & Pinto Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care for children. These services are designed to promote optimal oral health, prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease while also enhancing the appearance of their smile. Our services include:
As experts in the maxillofacial structure, modern pediatric dentistry goes beyond fundamental oral health care. We also track your child’s facial growth so we can assess whether orthodontic treatments may be needed later on.
Generally, dentists recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit shortly after the eruption of their first tooth or once they reach 12 months old. Your child’s first visit is all about making sure their teeth are coming in correctly and establishing a routine with their pediatric dentist.
