Pediatrics

Here at Chester Springs Family Dentistry, we are very concerned with the comfort and well-being of the patient, especially the pediatric patient. A primary goal of the practice is educating children about the importance of good home care and good nutrition in order to prevent poor oral health and cavities, which is currently the #1 disease in children under the age of 5. Our caring doctors and staff treat children thoughtfully, including them in conversations, when appropriate, about procedures and in plans for future visits.

There are times when restorative visits will be necessary, either to apply sealants or for fillings due to cavities. We utilize topical anesthesia, sunglasses and music to make children feel as comfortable as possible. We find that in certain situations the use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) helps the anxious child relax so treatment can be performed comfortably and Doctors Bush and Fordham can restore your child’s mouth to a healthy state.
