About Our Pediatric Dental Office in Limerick
Healthy smiles start here! From the moment you step foot into the office, our goal is to provide an interactive experience for all of our kiddos so they look forward to coming to the dentist for years to come. Our Limerick office has a unique beach and under-the-sea theme so parents can sit back and relax in paradise while their child dives into their dental adventure. Our kid’s corner keeps our patients entertained along with underwater wall murals, and more.
Is your child a bit nervous about coming to the dentist? You can request a tour of our Limerick dental office prior to coming in for their first appointment. This will help your little one get to know our doctor and staff, calm their nerves, and make their dental visit go even more smoothly.
How to Get to Our Pediatric Dental Office
You’ll find our office across the street from Waltz Golf Farm in the same complex as Java’s Brewin’ off of West Ridge Pike. Children’s Dental Health of Limerick is conveniently located along Septa Bus Route 93 at the corner of Ridge Pike and Sunset Rd, an easy 7-minute walk from our office.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Appointment
When the doctor is ready to see your child, they’ll be taken back to our open hygiene area. Our dental assistants or hygienists will perform a thorough cleaning and flossing to eliminate any plaque that has built up and look for any signs of tooth decay. Our doctors will then inspect your child’s mouth for cavities and consult with you if any further treatment is recommended or necessary. You can read more on what to expect at your child’s dental checkup here.

Why choose a pediatric dentist vs. a family dentist?
Pediatric dentists are specialists in treating the unique needs of children. A pediatric dentist has completed an additional 2-3 years of specialty training beyond dental school and treats the oral health needs of infants and children, including those with special needs. Pediatric dentists are skilled at using smaller equipment designed for a child’s mouth and better understand the intricacies and importance of baby teeth in a growing child. They also focus more attention on educating patients and parents about preventive care to help children avoid complications such as decay, infection, speech problems, and cosmetic issues.
How often should my child see a pediatric dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children start seeing a dentist every six months, by their first birthday or once their first tooth emerges.
Are baby teeth really that important to my child?
Primary, or “baby,” teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt. It is important to remember that oral health affects more than the health of your teeth. Cavities in baby teeth cause pain and swelling that can be tremendously uncomfortable for your child. Oral infections can enter the blood stream and lead to other serious health problems. Bacteria can quickly ‘jump’ from one part of the mouth to another, thus resulting in infections and cavities in new erupting adult teeth.
