Just a short drive away, this practice specializes exclusively in dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, providing the expertise and gentle approach that young patients deserve.
Dr. Matthew Savage is a board-certified pediatric dentist who combines advanced training with genuine compassion for his young patients. His practice philosophy centers on prevention, education, and creating positive dental experiences that shape lifelong oral health habits.
Pediatric dentistry is more than just dentistry for smaller mouths. It requires understanding child development, knowing how to communicate with children at different ages, and having the patience to help anxious young patients feel comfortable. Dr. Savage’s specialized education included extensive training in behavior management and treating children with diverse needs.
At Main Street Pediatric Dentistry, the entire experience is designed with children in mind. From the welcoming office environment to the way procedures are explained, every detail considers the young patient’s perspective. This child-centered approach helps even nervous children feel at ease.
The practice provides comprehensive pediatric dental services covering preventive care, restorative treatments, and emergency services for families throughout Gaston County.
Prevention is the cornerstone of pediatric dental health. Regular dental exams allow Dr. Savage to monitor your child’s oral development, identify emerging concerns, and provide timely intervention when needed. These visits also give parents valuable guidance on supporting their child’s dental health at home.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that accumulate despite daily brushing. Children learn proper brushing and flossing techniques during these appointments, building skills they will use throughout their lives.
Fluoride treatments provide targeted protection for developing teeth. Applied during office visits, professional fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent the cavities that affect many children.
Dental sealants create a protective shield on the chewing surfaces of molars. These back teeth have deep grooves where food particles and bacteria collect, making them particularly vulnerable to decay. Sealants smooth these surfaces and make cleaning more effective.
Children’s mouths change rapidly as they grow. Diagnostic X-rays reveal what cannot be seen during a visual examination, including cavities between teeth, the position of developing permanent teeth, and potential orthodontic issues. Dr. Savage uses this information to create treatment plans that address current needs and anticipate future concerns.
The American Dental Association notes that babies are born with all of their baby teeth in their jaw, with the first teeth erupting around 6 months and all baby teeth present by age 3. Early monitoring ensures these important teeth develop properly and remain healthy until permanent teeth are ready to emerge.
When cavities or dental injuries occur, Main Street Pediatric Dentistry offers gentle restorative care. Dental fillings repair cavities with minimal discomfort, while white crowns provide natural-looking protection for teeth that need more extensive restoration.
For children who experience significant anxiety or require multiple procedures, sedation dentistry ensures comfortable, stress-free treatment. Dr. Savage carefully evaluates each situation to determine the most appropriate approach for the child’s wellbeing.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry proudly serves children with special needs. Dr. Savage’s training includes specialized techniques for treating patients with various medical and developmental conditions. Every child receives individualized attention in a supportive, accommodating environment.
Dental emergencies happen without warning. A fall on the playground, a sports injury, or sudden severe pain requires immediate attention. Lowell families can rely on Main Street Pediatric Dentistry for prompt emergency dental care when urgent situations arise.
