Dental Examination
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
By their first birthday. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants have their first dental check-up six months after their first tooth comes in. Teeth typically start coming in around six months, but some babies (especially girls) may get teeth earlier. After the first visit, children should have routine dental cleanings every six months — just like adults.
Fluoride Treatment
Your pediatric dentist may also recommend protective sealants or home fluoride treatments for your child. Sealants can be applied to your child’s molars to prevent decay on hard to clean surfaces.
Dental Sealants
By forming a thin covering over the pits and fissures, sealants keep out plaque and food, thus decreasing the risk of decay. Since, the covering is only over the biting surface of the tooth, areas on the side and between teeth cannot be coated with the sealant. Good oral hygiene and nutrition are still very important in preventing decay next to these sealants or in areas unable to be covered.
Space Maintainers
A lower lingual arch is a space maintainer for the lower teeth. It maintains the molars where they are, it does not move them. This is fabricated by placing bands on the molars and connecting them to a wire that fits up against the inside of the lower teeth. It keeps the molars from migrating forward and prevents them from blocking off the space of teeth that develop later. This is used when you have the early loss of baby teeth or when you have lower teeth that are slightly crowded in a growing child and you do not want to remove any permanent teeth to correct the crowding.

Fillings
Crowns
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth: If possible, find the tooth. Handle it by the crown, not by the root. You may rinse the tooth with water only. DO NOT clean with soap, scrub or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Inspect the tooth for fractures. If it is sound, try to reinsert it in the socket. Have the patient hold the tooth in place by biting on a gauze or clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, transport the tooth in a cup containing the patient’s saliva or milk, NOT water. If the patient is old enough, the tooth may also be carried in the patient’s mouth (beside the cheek). The patient must see a dentist IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth.

Pulpotomy
Dental caries (cavities) and traumatic injury are the main reasons for a tooth to require pulp therapy. Pulp therapy is often referred to as a "nerve treatment", "children's root canal", "pulpectomy" or "pulpotomy". The two common forms of pulp therapy in children's teeth are the pulpotomy and pulpectomy.
Root Canal Treatment
A pulpectomy is required when the entire pulp is involved (into the root canal(s) of the tooth). During this treatment, the diseased pulp tissue is completely removed from both the crown and root. The canals are cleansed, disinfected and, in the case of primary teeth, filled with a resorbable material. Then, a final restoration is placed. A permanent tooth would be filled with a non-resorbing material.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Josh is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Dentistry at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry and an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He lectures on pediatric pharmacology, sedation, oral surgery, hospital dentistry and behavior management.
Jaw Surgery
Doing orthodontic treatments in two steps provides excellent results often allowing the doctor to avoid removal of permanent teeth and jaw surgery. The treatment done when some of the baby teeth are still present is called Phase-1. The last part of treatment after all the permanent teeth have erupted is called Phase-2.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
“Dr. Troll” is from Trenton, New Jersey. He is a graduate of New York University (B.A.), Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry (D.D.S.), and received his pediatric certificate from the Children’s Hospital of Washington D.C. He attended the Institute for Graduate Dentists and the Mid- Atlantic Association of Orthodontics, where he acquired his certification in Orthodontics. He also has privileges at the Red Lion Surgicenter. Dr. Troll is a member of the American and Pennsylvania Dental Associations, the Montgomery/Bucks Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Associations of Pediatric Dentistry. He is married and has two sons, and five grandchildren. He is a fan of the Phillies, enjoys outdoor activities like golf, tennis, and gardening, as well as, working on puzzles and collecting stamps.
Invisalign Orthodontics
"Dr. Colleen" was born and raised in Philadelphia. She is a graduate of Temple University and the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. She was honored as being a part of the Top 10% of her graduating class and is currently a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society and Academy of Dentistry. Dr. Colleen has her Invisalign Certification and is the recipient of the Oral Pathology Award and Practice Administration Award. She has been practicing pediatric dentistry for 25 years, and says she loves her work! Dr. Colleen is married for 25 years with two children, and enjoys reading, exercising, and going on vacation to the beach.
Braces
Research has shown that serious orthodontic problems can be more easily corrected when the patient’s skeleton is still growing and flexible. By correcting the skeletal problems at a younger age we can prepare the mouth for the eventual eruption of the permanent teeth. If the permanent teeth have adequate space to erupt they will come in fairly straight. If the teeth erupt fairly straight their tendency to get crooked again after the braces come off is diminished significantly. After the permanent teeth have erupted, usually from age 12-14, complete braces are placed for final alignment and detailing of the bite. Thus the final stage of treatment is quicker and easier on the patient. This phase of treatment usually lasts from 12 - 18 month and is not started until all of the permanent teeth are erupted.

Cosmetic Dentistry
“Dr. Jill” is from Port Huron, Michigan. After graduating from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in biology/genetics, Dr. Jill became a Doctor of Dental Medicine from Temple University, and now specializes in pediatric dentistry, Special Touch Dentistry with adults, and cosmetic dentistry. She holds certifications in Nitrous Oxide Sedation and Invisalign, and is learning ASL (American Sign Language) to help with patient experience. Dr. Jill is involved with the philanthropic efforts of the Special Olympics games at Penn State and Villanova Universities, along with her husband, “Dr. Jason”. In her spare time, Dr. Jill enjoys tennis, biking, boating, cooking, swimming, hiking, yoga and traveling. She also loves spending time with her husband and her two children.
