South Gastonia families searching for exceptional pediatric dental care will find a trusted partner at Main Street Pediatric Dentistry in Belmont. This practice is devoted exclusively to the dental health of children, offering gentle, comprehensive care from infancy through adolescence.
Dr. Matthew Savage is a board-certified pediatric dentist who understands that every child is unique. His compassionate, prevention-focused approach creates positive dental experiences that help children develop healthy habits and confident smiles.
Choosing a pediatric dentist means selecting a provider with specialized training beyond general dentistry. Dr. Savage completed advanced education focused specifically on children’s dental development, behavior management, and treating patients with diverse medical and developmental needs. This expertise allows him to provide care tailored to the unique requirements of young patients.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry welcomes children of all ages, from infants experiencing their first tooth eruption to teenagers preparing for adulthood. The practice provides comprehensive pediatric dental services in an environment designed to put young patients at ease.
Prevention is the most effective way to protect your child’s oral health. Regular dental exams allow Dr. Savage to monitor development, identify potential concerns early, and provide guidance on maintaining healthy teeth between visits.
According to the American Dental Association, babies are born with all of their baby teeth already in their jaw. These teeth begin erupting around 6 months, and all 20 baby teeth typically appear by age 3. Early dental visits help ensure these important first teeth develop properly and remain healthy.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone cannot address. These appointments also reinforce proper brushing and flossing techniques, helping children build skills they will use for life.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and increase resistance to decay. Applied during office visits, professional fluoride provides targeted protection for developing teeth.
Dental sealants offer powerful protection for the molars that emerge around ages 6 and 12. These back teeth have deep grooves on their chewing surfaces where food particles and bacteria easily collect. Sealants smooth these surfaces with a protective coating that helps prevent cavities.
Diagnostic X-rays give Dr. Savage a complete picture of your child’s oral health. X-rays reveal cavities between teeth, monitor the development of permanent teeth, and identify potential orthodontic concerns that are not visible during a standard examination.
Despite excellent preventive care, some children develop cavities or experience dental injuries. Main Street Pediatric Dentistry provides gentle restorative treatments to address these situations. Dental fillings repair cavities while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. White crowns protect and strengthen teeth requiring more extensive restoration.
For children who feel anxious about dental procedures or need multiple treatments, sedation dentistry options ensure comfortable experiences. Dr. Savage works with each family to determine the most appropriate approach for their child.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry provides specialized care for children with special needs. Dr. Savage’s training includes techniques for treating patients with various medical and developmental conditions, and the practice environment accommodates diverse patient requirements.
