There are few things as intimidating as finding a dentist for your child. Going to the dentist can be a frightening experience for even adults, and it’s tricky to find an office you can trust to give your kiddo a worry-free experience. If you’ve been searching for a dentist for your little one, I want to introduce you to one of the best offices around, Harrisonburg Pediatric Dentistry. This fantastic office comprises experts who ensure your child leaves each visit smiling. 

About Harrisonburg Pediatric Dentistry

Harrisonburg Pediatric Dentistry is an office featuring Dr. Sarah McKnight. Before joining the team, Dr. McKnight served in a community clinic that primarily helped children. During that time, she fell in love with helping kids’ smiles and decided to focus specifically on this age group. She is board certified and is adamant about continually growing her understanding of the field through her memberships in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association.

A team of professionals dedicates themselves to making your child’s visit a piece of cake. The team has been recognized several times as a Shenandoah Valley Best by the Harrisonburg Radio Group. You can check out Dr. McKnight and her crew at 119 University Blvd. Ste C in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Services

Dr. McKnight and her team specialize in using the newest technology to assist with your child’s visit. The office advises you to bring your child in for a visit at 12 months. By visiting this early, you’re helping get your child comfortable with dental visits and ensuring you’re introducing them to proper care and hygiene. 

They’ll tailor your child’s appointments to their unique needs during these visits. They’ll review any dental records if needed and ask about any concerns you might have. Finally, they’ll perform an exam, provide x-rays, and give them an age-appropriate cleaning and fluoride treatment. You’ll learn how to care for your child’s teeth and ensure you have the resources you need.

Specialty

On top of the office’s outstanding regular appointments, they’re passionate about providing specialty services to help your child’s smile. They provide sealants to protect against decay and restorative treatments for cavities. The team excels at identifying the specific needs of children who might not be able to receive traditional care in an office and will connect you to hospital dentistry if necessary. 

The office understands that some kiddos might need help to calm their nerves. The office provides nitrous oxide to calm anxiety and raise their pain tolerance. The effects of the laughing gas end as soon as your child is taken off it, so they can return to regular activities the second the appointment is over. The office can also use conscious sedation to help your child get through their appointment.
