Pediatric Service Overview
Dr. Rocco DiAntonio, Dr. Peter Serratelli, and Dr. Besa Marisenojs believe a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear. The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Rocco DiAntonio, Dr. Peter Serratelli, and Dr. Besa Marisenoj and their team love caring for our patients, and we work hard to make sure each child is spoken to gently, treated with respect, and cared for as if they were our own child. We use simple words to explain procedures to our patients and make sure each parent or guardian is aware of the process as well.
Infant Oral Exams
Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Rocco DiAntonio, Dr. Peter Serratelli, and Dr. Besa Marisenoj suggest infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to 1 year old.
Pediatric Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child’s teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Our doctors recommend two cleanings a year to maintain optimal oral health.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays allow our doctors to get a view of your child’s teeth and jaws that he can’t see with their eyes while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum.
Fluoride
Regular fluoride treatments help reduce your child’s risk of developing cavities and can remineralize areas where decay is starting. Our doctors believe regular fluoride treatments are an important part of treatment for most children.
Pediatric Sealants
Sealants help protect your child’s teeth from decay by filling in the grooved biting surfaces of your child’s teeth, making them easier to clean. Our doctors apply this light-cured material in minutes, and the procedure requires no anesthesia.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry includes fillings, crowns, and other procedures that help restore a tooth to its original function. Champlain Smile Solutions offers many restorative procedures to help your child smile with confidence!
Sports Mouthguards
Sports mouthguards prevent dental injuries when worn during contact sports or other potentially dangerous activities. A custom-fit mouthguard made by Champlain Smile Solutions can save your child’s teeth and prevent extensive dental treatment.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a durable, more natural looking option for your child’s restorations. Made from composite resin, they are strong, durable, and perfect for smaller teeth. Our doctors can help you decide is a tooth-colored filling is right for your child.
Tooth Extractions
While we focus on helping your child keep their teeth for a lifetime, sometimes an extraction is necessary. Whether it’s extensive decay, overcrowding, or an impacted tooth, our doctors can help you and your child understand the procedure and answer any questions you have.
