Carolina Pediatric Dentistry Downtown Raleigh

Carolina Pediatric Dentistry Downtown Raleigh is a highly-regarded pediatric dental clinic serving the greater Raleigh, NC area. With a strong commitment to patient-centric care, the clinic aims to make every dental visit a positive and comfortable experience for children from infancy through adolescence. They understand the unique needs of young patients and employ a team of skilled and compassionate pediatric dentists, many of whom are also parents themselves, fostering an empathetic approach to treatment. The clinic offers a comprehensive array of services, including preventive dentistry such as professional cleanings, checkups, and X-rays, as well as restorative and cosmetic dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings, crowns (BioFlx and Zirconia options), and pulpotomies. They also provide essential services like space maintenance, extractions, and the application of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to halt cavity progression. For anxious children or more complex procedures, they offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), oral sedation, and hospital dentistry with general anesthesia. What sets Carolina Pediatric Dentistry apart is their dedication to creating a kid-friendly and fun office environment. Their lobby is designed for play, and they use kid-sized equipment and iPads to allow children to watch their favorite shows during treatment, making visits less intimidating. They also provide tokens for prizes at the end of appointments to encourage positive associations with dental care. The clinic emphasizes educating both children and parents on good oral hygiene practices to promote lifelong dental health. They are equipped to handle dental emergencies and offer 24/7 on-call services for urgent situations. The practice also demonstrates inclusivity by being bilingual (Spanish and English resources available) and having a policy regarding up-to-date immunizations to protect vulnerable patients. Founded in 2002, Carolina Pediatric Dentistry has built a reputation for high standards of clinical care and a nurturing approach, making it a trusted "dental home" for families in Raleigh.
