Wachusett Pediatric Dentistry

Wachusett Pediatric dentistry is a dental clinic located at 100 Whalon St in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, specializing in pediatric dental care. The practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate oral health services for children ranging from infancy through their adolescent years. The clinic is led by Dr. Thafur Shemmeri, a highly qualified pediatric dentist who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. The philosophy of Wachusett Pediatric Dentistry is centered on making dental visits a positive and stress-free experience for children. They understand that many children, and even adults, can be anxious about visiting the dentist. To combat this, the clinic employs a step-wise approach to acclimate children to the dental environment, sometimes starting with simple "behavior modification" visits where a child can bring their own toothbrush and toothpaste to the office. This approach, combined with the team's gentle and professional manner, aims to build trust and create a lifelong positive association with dental care. The clinic offers a wide range of services specifically tailored to the needs of young patients. This includes preventive care such as dental exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, as well as restorative dentistry. A strong emphasis is placed on oral health education for both children and parents, with the belief that informed parents can better support their children's dental hygiene at home. The clinic also has a strong commitment to serving children with special health care needs, with staff trained to provide care that is sensitive to each child's unique developmental requirements. Wachusett Pediatric Dentistry prides itself on its dedicated and experienced team, which includes Dr. Shemmeri and a staff of certified dental assistants and administrative professionals. The team is known for its warm, friendly, and family-oriented approach, treating each patient as a friend. The clinic's commitment to the community is also evident through its participation in programs like "Give Kids a Smile." They serve not only Fitchburg but also the surrounding communities of Leominster, Lunenburg, and Gardner, MA.
