Lakeside Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Lakeside Smiles Pediatric dentistry is a specialized dental clinic offering comprehensive oral healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, with offices in both Wolfeboro and Alton. The practice is led by Dr. Mindy Hall, a board-certified pediatric dentist with extensive experience. The clinic's philosophy centers on creating a trusting and compassionate relationship with young patients to foster a lifetime of optimal oral health. The clinic provides a wide range of services, including preventive care like cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, as well as restorative treatments such as fillings and crowns. They also offer treatments for dental emergencies and use technology like digital X-rays to minimize radiation exposure. Lakeside Smiles places a strong emphasis on patient education, providing age-appropriate instructions on oral hygiene, nutrition, and habits. Their office is designed to be a comfortable and fun environment to help alleviate any anxiety children may have about visiting the dentist. In addition to Dr. Hall, the team includes a general dentist, Dr. McCann, who provides general dentistry and oral surgery for adolescent and adult patients, and a skilled staff of hygienists and dental assistants. The clinic accepts various forms of payment and works with numerous insurance providers, including being in-network with many major carriers like Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO and Northeast Delta Dental. They encourage parents to stay with their child during the initial visit, but suggest allowing the child to go through subsequent appointments independently to build confidence with the dental staff.
