Top 3 Dental Tips for New Philly Families

1– Philly tap water has fluoride in it. If your child is taking a fluoride supplement, check in with your dentist to see if they still need it.

2– We are very lucky to have 2 pediatric hospitals with a dentist on staff – St. Christopher’s and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

3– Philly schools require a dental exam for Kindergarten, 3rd grade, 7th grade, and all new students.

Philadelphia Pediatric Dentistry is Joyful, Collaborative, and Innovative

Joy lives here and they want every child to feel it. That’s why they’re passionate about making sure their pediatric patients laugh, have fun, and enjoy every visit.

“When I meet a new family, I intentionally pause, listen closely to their story. Together we collaborate to tailor solutions for each child and family. That’s one way we have crafted the joyful, relaxing, and wellness-driven dental experience that I’d love for my own children”, says Dr. Maria.

Philadelphia Pediatric Dentistry believes children deserve the latest treatment options available and leads the dental community with innovative technology and therapies in a practice designed to build relationships and wellness.

Important COVID-19 related office policies

As the city of Philadelphia moves away from a mask mandate in public places, they are aware of how precious these glimpses of smiles and full faces are for families that have raised children during this time. As a healthcare facility that serves many children not yet eligible for vaccines, Dr. Maria and her Team continue their commitment to wellness and prevention. The staff at Philadelphia Pediatric Dentistry are fully vaccinated. They will continue to require patients and caregivers to wear masks to enter the office, as well as symptom check upon arrival. In addition, they are spacing appointments and offering private rooms.
