Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teens, from early tooth eruption through the loss of baby teeth and the arrival of permanent ones. Regular checkups help catch cavities, monitor jaw and bite development, and build healthy habits early. At Crystal Clear Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry in Wilmington, Dr. Aesha Chaudhry, a board-certified pediatric dentist, provides this care for children and teens in a setting designed to keep families comfortable.

Diagnostic Tools

• Digital Dental X-Rays — low-radiation imaging that gives a fast, detailed view of developing teeth and roots.
• Digital Intraoral Scanning — a precise 3D model of the teeth without messy impression trays, useful for planning care and retainers.

Comfort for Nervous Kids

• Nitrous Oxide Sedation — laughing gas that helps anxious children stay calm and comfortable during treatment.
• Hospital-Based Sedation — for children who need more extensive care, a closely monitored option in the operating room.

Getting Started

Pediatric visits are often paired with preventive and restorative care as needed, and can extend into orthodontic evaluations as a child grows. Our Wilmington office can also help check your insurance for pediatric dental benefits — just give us a call to confirm your plan.
