Please give us a call if you’d like to learn more about our board certified pediatric dentist office or to schedule an appointment for kid’s dentistry in Gilbert, AZ.


Preventative Children’s Dental Care

Our goal is to provide the highest quality dental care for your children, and it all starts with preventative measures. By visiting us for bi-annual kid’s dental appointments, Dr. Cattron can help to prevent dental anxiety, tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.  Any of these can cause lifelong issues.  Preventative care is key to having a healthy smile. Consistent checkups will allow Dr. Cattron to diagnose gum disease, growth anomalies and tooth decay before they spread and become a big problem. 


Included in Preventative Dental Care are the following:

Prophy (Teeth Cleaning) for Kids

Among the most important dental services for patients of any age is getting your teeth cleaned.  According the AAPD and ADA, “In order to prevent dental problems, your child should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her first birthday.”*  We practice modern kids’ dental techniques that promote a love of the Dentist, healthy oral hygiene habits, and prevent tooth decay.  Pediatric teeth cleaning is key to cavity prevention and keeping teeth white. Routine appointments will support long and short term oral health for your young ones.


Fluoride Treatments for Kids

A very effective AND EASY anti-cavity treatment is the use of fluoride for children.  This protective measure enhances the strength of tooth enamel, which may otherwise be damaged by common bacteria that feeds on the sugars of foods and drinks we put in our mouths.   “The AAPD encourages dentist and other health care providers, public health officials, and parents/ caregivers to optimize fluoride exposures to reduce the risk for caries and to enhance the remineralization of affected tooth structures.”#

Dental Sealants in Childhood

Dental sealants are applied in a thin coat to the chewing surfaces of pre-molars and molars. It covers the deep pits and grooves in these teeth that put your child at risk of developing tooth decay. Placing sealants now, prevents costly tooth repair later. An ounce of prevention…


Restorative Dentistry & Cavity Treatments for Kids

Did you know that cavities are actually an infection? Worse still, cavities on baby teeth can actually infect new adult teeth. The goal of restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns and baby root canals, is to eliminate disease and prevent lifelong oral health problems as a child grows up. Our pediatric cavity treatments are conducted in a manner that is as least invasive as possible. While we understand these processes can be uncomfortable for some children, they are critical treatments that maintain optimal oral health. During your children’s restorative appointment, we can further discuss methods of at-home prevention, giving you and your child the tools and resources necessary to maintain a healthy smile for years to come.


Sedation Dentistry for Kids

If your child has treatment anxieties, or an extensive treatment plan that could cause future fear of visiting the dentist, we offer many options for sedation dentistry. Sedation may involve the use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation (with a liquid medication) or IV sedation (general sedation under the supervision of a Doctor of Anesthesia). These methods are safe and effective at making sure your child has a good experience and the desired results of the appointment are achieved. If you have any questions or concerns about kids’ sedation dentistry, please don’t hesitate to contact our pediatric dental team.

Infant & Baby Dentist, Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

Parkland Pediatric Dental begins seeing new patients as early as six months old.  Beginning dental care at such a young age is crucial to ensuring healthy teeth and gums as the baby begins teething and beyond. Often referred to as age 1 visits, these first dental appointments for a baby are also a great time for us to educate and inform parents about infant oral health needs and disease prevention methods. Continuing care appointments should be scheduled bi-annually with our team to ensure your child remains cavity free.

4 Important Ways that Nutrition Affects Children’s Dental Health

By Parkland Pediatric Dental • November 15, 2023
While regular dental hygiene practices like brushing and flossing are essential, nutrition also plays an important role in ensuring strong and healthy teeth. At Parkland Pediatric Dental, we’d be happy to discuss with you ways to improve your child’s dental health via nutrition. Here’s a look at some of the ways that nutrition impacts children’s dental health. Calcium and Strong Teeth Calcium is a mineral that plays a key role in the development and maintenance of strong teeth and bones. It is an essential component of tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of teeth. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt are excellent sources of calcium. Incorporating sufficient levels of calcium into your child’s diet helps in the formation of strong teeth that are better equipped to resist decay.  Vitamin D for Tooth Development Vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium in the body. Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, and foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products are also good dietary sources. Adequate vitamin D intake is necessary for the proper development of teeth, ensuring they grow strong and healthy. Phosphorus and Tooth Mineralization Phosphorus, another essential mineral, works in tandem with calcium to promote optimal tooth mineralization. It is found in abundance in foods like fish, nuts, and dairy products. Including a variety of phosphorus-rich foods in a child's diet contributes to the formation of robust tooth structure. Limiting Sugar Intake The role of sugar in dental cavities is well-established. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars, producing acids that erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities. Limiting the intake of sugary snacks, sodas, and candies helps reduce the risk of tooth decay. Instead, encourage children to opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains as healthier alternatives.
