Pediatric Dentistry
Preston Corners Pediatric Dentistry specializes in helping children develop strong, healthy smiles from their first tooth into young adulthood. With a gentle touch and a compassionate approach, Dr. Richard F. Brooks and Dr. Ritu Chandak deliver expert pediatric dentistry in Cary designed specifically for children’s unique oral health needs. From preventive cleanings to specialized treatments for kids with special needs, our care helps every child feel safe, supported, and excited about their dental visits.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist for Your Child?
Children are not just small adults—they require dental care tailored to their developing teeth, jaws, and behaviors. Pediatric dentists receive additional training beyond dental school, equipping them with skills to care for infants, toddlers, kids, and teens, including those with developmental or medical challenges.
Dr. Brooks and Dr. Chandak use child-friendly language, behavioral techniques, and age-appropriate care plans to ensure your child’s visit is positive and productive. They also collaborate with parents to create personalized oral health routines that work at home.
Comprehensive Pediatric Dentistry for Cary Families
We provide a full range of pediatric dental services to support your child’s smile at every stage of development.
Preventive Dentistry for Children
Prevention is key to long-term oral health. Our routine exams and cleanings help catch issues early and keep teeth strong and cavity-free. We recommend visits every six months starting around your child’s first birthday.
Our preventative services include:
- Dental exams and gentle cleanings
- Fluoride applications to strengthen enamel
- Protective sealants for cavity-prone molars
- Guidance on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
Restorative Dental Care
Even with great hygiene, kids may still develop cavities or dental injuries. We offer durable, kid-friendly restorations that keep smiles healthy and functional.
Restorative treatments include:
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Pulp therapy for baby teeth
- Stainless steel crowns for extra protection
- Space maintainers to support proper growth
Special Needs Dentistry
We proudly offer care tailored for children with emotional, physical, or developmental needs. Parents or caregivers are welcome in the treatment room to provide support and comfort during appointments. Dr. Chandak and Dr. Brooks work closely with families to adapt procedures and ensure every child receives safe, respectful, and effective dental care.
