Comprehensive Pediatric Exams

Regular dental exams are important because a child's oral health changes constantly. Our thorough pediatric check-ups at New River Valley Pediatric Dentistry are designed to identify potential issues early so that your child can avoid expensive or uncomfortable dental procedures in the future.


We will:

  • Check your child's dental development to ensure their teeth develop as they should.
  • Early signs of tooth decay in children are one of their most common dental problems.
  • As they grow, evaluate their jaw and bite development to ensure that the alignment is correct.
  • Give your child a detailed review of their oral hygiene routine, and if necessary offer suggestions for improvement.


We will answer any questions that you or your children may have and educate your family on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home. We can catch minor concerns before they turn into bigger ones. This will ensure that your child's teeth remain healthy and strong throughout their growth.

Advanced Diagnostic

X-Rays

Dental X-rays are essential for monitoring your child's dental health. Many issues that affect the mouth cannot be seen with the naked eye. We use digital X-rays with low radiation that are designed for your child's safety and comfort.

Our advanced imaging technology allows us to:


  • Find cavities between teeth, which are not visible on a visual examination.
  • Watch your child's permanent tooth growth as it grows under the gums.
  • Early detection of dental decay, misalignment, or other orthodontic problems is important to prevent them from becoming more serious.
  • Examine the jawbone for abnormalities or impacted teeth that could affect your child's dental development.


Our team will take special care to make sure your child feels relaxed and comfortable during the X-ray process. We use the latest equipment to quickly and safely evaluate their oral health. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan when needed.

Kid-Friendly Teeth Cleanings

Even young children can benefit from regular professional cleanings to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and cavities. Our gentle teeth cleanings at New River Valley Pediatric Dentistry are tailored to the specific needs of children, ensuring that they leave with a healthy and fresh smile.


Our hygienists are trained to:

  • Remove plaque and tartar gently from your child's teeth, particularly in areas that are hard to reach and where brushing and flossing cannot always be effective.
  • Polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them shining.
  • To ensure that they take care of their teeth, teach them the proper techniques for brushing and flossing in an engaging and fun way.
  • If necessary, apply fluoride treatments and dental sealants to prevent future cavities.


We know that some children are anxious about dental cleanings. That's why we provide a relaxed, friendly environment. We want to make your child's dental cleaning experience enjoyable so that they look forward to it and feel confident about maintaining their oral hygiene.
