Pediatric dentistry is a branch of oral health care that focuses on preventing and treating dental issues in children. With unique dental needs, pediatric patients require special care from a compassionate, friendly dentist like those at Solomon Family Dentistry. 

When your child visits Solomon Family Dentistry, you can rest assured that the team prioritizes their oral health with a modern, conservative approach.

Solomon Family Dentistry offers several pediatric dentistry services for their youngest patients, such as:

Teeth cleaning

A teeth cleaning is a preventive treatment that involves removing plaque and bacteria from your child’s teeth. For a lifetime of good oral health, your child should see Solomon Family Dentistry for a teeth cleaning at least once every six months.

Dental exams

Dental exams and teeth cleanings typically go hand in hand. At these visits, your child’s dentist checks their mouth and jaw for signs of abnormalities, such as tooth decay or misaligned teeth. 

They also take X-rays to detect early indicators of jaw problems or impacted teeth.

Sealants

Dental sealants protect teeth that are vulnerable to cavities. Your child’s dentist can apply a sealant as a solution that later hardens with an LED light. 

Most sealants are used to protect your child’s chewing surfaces, particularly the molars in the back of their mouth, which are inherently harder to clean.

Dental appliances

Early orthodontic exams help your child’s dentist determine whether your child can benefit from jaw correction. Dental appliances, such as jaw expanders, partial braces, space maintainers, and retainers, gradually shift your child’s teeth and jaw into the correct position as they age. 

While your child’s jaw doesn’t fully mature until their teenage years, early dental appliances and interceptive orthodontics reduce the need for more complex treatments later in life.

The earlier you bring your child in for a dental exam and teeth cleaning, the better. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends taking your child to a dentist by the age of 1. 

Regular visits once every six months allow the Solomon Family Dentistry team to track your child’s oral health and jaw development as they age. 

Many children have anxiety over visiting the dentist, so these visits also present an opportunity to help your child form a positive relationship with their dentist.

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children have an orthodontic assessment by age 7. Talk to the Solomon Family Dentistry team about scheduling an assessment as early as possible to prevent the progression of orthodontic issues that may already be present.

Fred Solomon, DMD

Frederick Solomon, DMD, is an experienced general dentist and founder of Solomon Family Dentistry, with five locations in Summerville and one in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. He is proud to be able to offer comprehensive oral health care to so many communities in South Carolina. 

Dr. Solomon started out with a small dentist office in Summerville, just off of Beauregard, which had two treatment operatories and one operatory for dental hygiene. Over the years, Dr. Solomon has expanded the practice, building a new office and moving down the highway off of Royal Road. His intention of starting a small practice to help the community has now progressed into a larger dentist office that reaches out to patients in the Summerville, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, and surrounding areas.

Dr. Solomon graduated from St. Andrews High School and continued on to complete his undergrad studies at the University of Maryland. From there, he came back to Charleston to complete his education for dental school at MUSC and has resided here ever since. 

When not in the dentist’s office, Dr. Solomon enjoys spending time with his wife and family and picking up a good book for the occasional read.
