Children's Dental Health of Bethlehem

Children's Dental Health of Bethlehem is a dedicated pediatric dental practice located at 1020 W Broad St, Bethlehem, PA 18018. As part of the larger Children's Dental Health network, which has been providing quality pediatric dental care for over 40 years across Pennsylvania and Delaware, this Bethlehem location focuses exclusively on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence (ages 0-17), including those with special healthcare needs. The clinic prides itself on creating a convenient, engaging, and educational environment for both patients and their parents. They employ a "show, tell, do" method to help children actively learn healthy habits and ensure a healthy smile for years to come. Their team consists of board-certified pediatric dentists, like Dr. Steven Melnic and Dr. Katherine Cushing, and caring staff who are specially trained in child psychology and equipped to handle the unique needs of young patients. The office is designed to be kid-friendly, often featuring elements like arcade games, slides, and airplanes in the waiting room to make visits enjoyable and reduce anxiety. Services offered at Children's Dental Health of Bethlehem are comprehensive and include preventive care, cleanings, hygiene examinations, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. They also provide restorative procedures such as metal-free fillings, extractions, and root canals. The Bethlehem location has recently expanded to offer oral surgery, including wisdom tooth removal, performed by board-certified oral surgeons directly in their office for safe and convenient care. They also collaborate with Children's Dental Surgery for more invasive procedures requiring sleep dentistry in a hospital-like setting. Children's Dental Health accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicaid and CHIP programs, aiming to make high-quality dental care accessible to all families. They emphasize building trust and confidence in children from an early age to foster a lifetime of good oral health habits.
