Pediatric Dentistry
The Importance of Pediatric Dentistry
Our team in Warsaw, IN, understands that dentistry is important for patients of all ages. Taking charge of dental care early in life has several benefits...
Ensure Proper Development
Dr. Stofer, Dr. Spangle will ensure that your child's baby teeth are developing properly and help prevent any potential infections. Once the teeth have grown in, we will assess and treat any necessary alignment and occlusion issues.
Prevent Tooth Decay
A pediatric dentist will keep your kid's teeth healthy by removing bacteria and plaque build-up through regular cleanings. Children are not immune to decay and infection, making regular cleanings just as important as they are for adults.
Establish Life-Long Oral Health
Make sure your little one attends regular dental appointments to learn about the importance of good oral hygiene and proper brushing techniques. Tooth decay is cyclical in nature. Children who develop cavities are more likely to suffer from chronic decay as adults. Early visits to the dentist's office will set them up for a lifetime of better oral health.

I was so impressed by everyone in the office. Smiling faces and super caring staff made for a great visit. Definitely felt at ease that my 13 year old son was getting top notch care. I appreciate that the experience wasn’t a scary one for him. Looking forward to his next visit in 6 months.

Preventive care is important to maintaining a healthy smile as a child grows up. During each exam, we will discuss proper oral care and teach our young patients the best ways to care for their teeth.

Pediatric Dental Procedures
Our young patients may require special procedures to ensure their comfort and the health of their developing teeth. Common pediatric treatments we provide at our Warsaw, IN, practice include:
Cleanings and Exams
Routine cleanings and exams with a pediatric dentist can help prevent dental issues such as decay and infection. It can also catch issues before they grow worse and impact your child's oral health.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are applied to the molars and hardened with a special light. This treatment offers an additional layer of protection against cavities and decay.
Extractions
Extractions are needed for a variety of reasons such as overcrowding, damage, significant decay, or impacted wisdom teeth. Our pediatric dentists can perform extractions in a gentle and caring environment. We also offer sedation options to keep your child relaxed and comfortable.
Fillings
Fillings are used to treat teeth damaged by decay and cavities. After the decay is removed, the tooth is filled to prevent further decay and to help the tooth function normally.
Fluoride Treatments
Children are more susceptible to tooth decay. Flouride treatments help protect the teeth to reduce the risk of tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to acids.
Orthodontics
Issues like overbite, underbite, overcrowding, crooked teeth, or gapped teeth can make it difficult to properly brush and floss, and can also lead to painful TMJs. Orthodontic treatment corrects these issues for optimal oral health.
Sedation Dentistry
Visiting the dentist can be scary for some patients. Our pediatric dentistry options include sedation dentistry to help your child get the dental care they need while keeping them completely relaxed.
