At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we focus on prevention to set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our pediatric cleanings and dental exams in Montclair, NJ, are designed to keep teeth clean, catch problems early, and make kids feel confident at the dentist.
Cleanings and exams are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Even with great brushing at home, plaque can build up in areas that are hard to reach. Regular visits allow us to remove tartar and check for any concerns before they become bigger issues.
Exams also give us the opportunity to monitor how your child’s teeth and jaw are developing. Early detection means fewer treatments and better outcomes as your child grows. Plus, routine visits help build comfort and trust at the dentist’s office.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities.
