Gentle Care with Our Pediatric Dental Services 

Fern Creek Dental offers comprehensive family dental care, including dental care for young children. Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends children visit a dentist within six months after their first tooth shows or around their first birthday? This early dental care routine helps introduce and ensure proper care of your growing child's teeth. Contact our dental practice in Louisville, Kentucky, at 502-239-0881 to schedule an appointment. 


At Fern Creek Dental, we want to make your child's dentist experience comfortable and fun. We encourage parents to stay with their children if needed and ask questions during the dental procedure. 

Pediatric Sealants 

Prevent cavities and tooth decay in baby teeth with dental sealants from Fern Creek Dental. Dental sealants cover or seal the recesses on the biting surface of a tooth, including grooves, fissures, and cingulum pits. 

Pediatric Fluoride Treatments

Our pediatric fluoride treatments remineralize teeth. These dental treatments repair tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride makes teeth more immune to bacteria which often results in plaque buildup. Our fluoride treatments are safe for children.

Pediatric Composite (Tooth-Colored) Restorations

Composite fillings are used to treat cavities and are tooth-colored to match your child's teeth. We start with the removal of the existing tooth decay. Then, we use composite material to fill the tooth. For more information about tooth restorations, contact Fern Creek Dental. 

Baby Teeth Extraction

If we cannot restore a tooth, we may suggest a tooth extraction. If an extraction is needed, we first numb the area with local anesthesia, loosen the tooth from its socket in the gum, and carefully remove it. We will apply stitches if required. For further information about tooth extractions, contact Fern Creek Dental. 

Space Maintainers

Did your child lose a tooth prematurely or have a baby tooth extraction? Space maintainers aid in ensuring the permanent adult tooth will have room to grow. Space maintainers are custom-crafted appliances that can be either removable or semi-permanent. They guide the permanent tooth into the correct position, which also helps reduce future orthodontic work.
