Dentistry for children is not the same as dentistry for adults. Kids need to feel safe and happy at the dentist. They need to feel understood. They need to be comfortable and pain-free. That’s why The Medford Center for Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry is the choice of discriminating parents.

No matter if it’s time for the “First Visit” to introduce your toddler to dental care or your tweenager needs orthodontics, every moment your child spends with us is focused on fun, relaxation, and excellence.

Our dentists are here to make sure your kid has the best dental experience yet. Schedule an appointment to get started!

Dental Services

We offer a variety of comprehensive dental services in one convenient location. There’s no need to scour the city and the suburbs looking for a specialist or pediatric dentist. There’s not much we can’t do for our young patients, providing everything from sealants and tooth-colored fillings to checkups and emergency care.

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry

From comprehensive exams, sealants, cleanings, and mouthguards to keep teeth safe and strong to fillings and root canals to make everything better again, our preventative care is designed and tailored especially for younger teeth to build a solid foundation of oral health.

Infant Care

Infant Care

The very best way to ensure your child grows up with a good relationship with oral health is to start them off early, on or about their first birthday. There’s nothing a parent should stress over about bringing their infant in for their First Visit. We’ve created an experience designed to make you and your child feel relaxed and at home in our office and with our team.

Anesthesia

Anesthesia

Sometimes little patients need a little help not feeling anxious or scared in the dental chair, especially if they’re facing some time-consuming work. That’s why we’re certified in the safe administration of nitrous oxide or what we refer to as “laughing gas” around the kiddos. This is one of the most common sedation methods used for children because it’s easy to administer, wears off quickly, and has no side effects.

Special Needs

Special Needs

We care for all children and have a special place in our hearts for those with special needs. We not only welcome them into our care, but we have special training on communication and respecting their physical and emotional needs.

Orthodontics & Invisalign®

Orthodontics & Invisalign®

Crooked or misaligned teeth don’t just affect your child’s confidence, they affect their health too. In fact, tooth decay and gum disease are directly linked to misaligned teeth. Even worse, poor dental alignment can lead to breathing problems, speech difficulties, and other disorders. The results are worth the effort – a beautiful, comfortable, functional smile that lasts their lifetime!

Emergency

Emergency

When something happens to your children’s teeth or mouth, call us right away. We are here to hold your hand, offer instant advice, have them checked out, and get your kids back to exploring life with confidence in a jiffy!
