The Children's Dental Center

The Children's Dental Center is a specialized pediatric dental clinic located in Somerville, New Jersey, providing a wide range of dental services for infants, children, and adolescents. The clinic is led by Dr. Julianne Kane and her team of experienced professionals. The practice is built on the philosophy of proactive and preventive care, emphasizing the importance of establishing a "dental home" for children no later than their first birthday, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric dentistry (AAPD) and the American Dental Association (ADA). This approach ensures that a child's oral health is managed in a comprehensive, accessible, and coordinated manner. The clinic's mission is to provide compassionate care within a fun and worry-free atmosphere, making the dental experience positive for both children and their parents. They offer a complimentary infant oral evaluation for children under 24 months of age to encourage early care and prevention. Services include routine checkups, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments to prevent cavities, and sealants. In addition to general pediatric dentistry, The Children's Dental Center also provides emergency care for issues like chipped or missing teeth and toothaches. They also have an in-house orthodontist to monitor a child's developing bite and offer orthodontic assessments. The clinic is committed to creating a comfortable environment with a kid-friendly space, complete with a mascot, Jacques the Peacock, and prizes for patients. They also cater to special needs patients, providing personalized and compassionate treatment.
