Gastonia parents want the best for their children, including dental care that prioritizes comfort, expertise, and lasting results. Main Street Pediatric Dentistry in nearby Belmont delivers exactly that, offering specialized pediatric dental services in a warm, welcoming environment designed specifically for young patients.
Dr. Matthew Savage is a board-certified pediatric dentist who has dedicated his practice to serving the children of Gaston County. His gentle approach and prevention-focused philosophy help children develop healthy relationships with dental care that benefit them throughout their lives.
Gaston County’s largest city offers many choices for families seeking dental care, but not all dentists have the specialized training to address children’s unique needs. Pediatric dentistry requires understanding how children’s mouths develop, how to communicate with patients at different developmental stages, and how to create experiences that build trust rather than fear.
Dr. Savage completed specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on the dental needs of infants, children, and adolescents. His comprehensive education included advanced coursework in child development, behavior management, and treating patients with various medical and developmental conditions.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry provides the full range of pediatric dental services that growing children need, from first visits to complex treatments.
Prevention forms the foundation of excellent pediatric dental health. Regular dental exams allow Dr. Savage to monitor your child’s oral development, identify concerns early, and provide guidance on maintaining healthy teeth at home. These visits establish the routine of dental care that serves children well into adulthood.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing cannot fully address. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice daily and flossing once daily, and professional cleanings support these home care efforts by reaching areas that are difficult to clean thoroughly.
Fluoride treatments strengthen developing tooth enamel and provide additional cavity protection. Dental sealants protect the grooved chewing surfaces of molars where cavities most commonly develop. These preventive treatments significantly reduce the likelihood of future dental problems.
Children’s mouths change constantly as baby teeth emerge, fall out, and make way for permanent teeth. X-rays provide Dr. Savage with essential information about tooth development, hidden cavities, and potential orthodontic concerns that cannot be detected through visual examination alone.
For children whose developing teeth may benefit from guidance, early orthodontics can address emerging alignment issues before they become more serious. Early intervention often reduces the complexity of future orthodontic treatment.
When dental issues arise despite preventive care, Main Street Pediatric Dentistry provides gentle, effective treatment. Dental fillings restore teeth affected by cavities, preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. White crowns protect and strengthen teeth that require more extensive restoration while maintaining a natural appearance.
For children who experience dental anxiety or need multiple procedures, sedation dentistry ensures comfortable, stress-free experiences. Dr. Savage offers sedation options appropriate for each child’s situation and needs.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry welcomes children with special needs, providing individualized care in a supportive environment. Dr. Savage’s training includes techniques specifically designed for treating patients with various medical and developmental conditions.
When dental emergencies occur, Gastonia families can count on prompt care. Emergency dental services address urgent situations like dental trauma, severe pain, and other conditions requiring immediate attention.
Main Street Pediatric Dentistry is conveniently located in Belmont, making it easy for Gastonia families to access quality pediatric dental care.
