Every child is different, and we will always go at your child’s pace, proceeding with treatment when they are ready and cooperative. Our recommendations will reflect your child’s unique needs as they grow.

Communication with parents is essential for your little one to maintain a healthy smile. We are always here to provide you with answers to your questions, advice, and recommendations based on the dental care we would want for our own children.

Kids smiling after Pediatric Dentistry session in Aurora, ILEven with the best efforts at home and here at Prairie Dental Care, many kids will experience decay or damage to a tooth at some point during their childhood. We provide gentle treatment to restore your child’s precious smile:

Dr. Wang has extensive experience working with children in a pediatric dental office. Her expertise and advanced skills allow her to treat most pediatric dental conditions right here in our office using gentle techniques. She will speak to your child in a way that they understand using compassionate, non-threatening language.

Post-Treatment Care

After your child's dental appointment, if we used anesthetic, please keep an eye on your little one as they may accidentally bite themselves on the lip or cheek without noticing it because they cannot feel pain until the anesthetic wears off.
