Finding a pediatric dentist in Queens who can provide exceptional care for your child while making them feel comfortable can be challenging. At Open Bright Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that children have unique dental needs and deserve specialized attention in an environment designed just for them. Our practice combines advanced pediatric dental techniques with a warm, nurturing approach that helps children develop positive associations with dental care from their earliest visits.

Dr. Laurie, a respected pediatric dental specialist with experience as a former residency program director and educator, leads our team with a commitment to truly listening to both parents and children. We believe that understanding your family’s specific concerns and preferences is essential to providing the personalized care that helps children maintain healthy smiles for life.

Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services for Queens Children

Our practice offers a complete range of pediatric dental services tailored to meet the needs of growing smiles at every developmental stage:

Preventative Pediatric Dental Care

Prevention is the cornerstone of pediatric dentistry, and our gentle approach helps children establish healthy habits early:

  • Thorough dental examinations customized for each child’s age and development
  • Professional cleanings that remove plaque while demonstrating proper techniques
  • Digital X-rays with minimal radiation exposure for early detection
  • Dental sealants to protect vulnerable molars from decay
  • Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities
  • Customized home care instructions for parents and children

Our preventative approach is designed not only to maintain oral health but also to educate and empower children to take an active role in caring for their teeth. We make each visit an opportunity for learning in a way that’s engaging and age-appropriate.

Restorative Pediatric Treatments

When your child requires treatment beyond preventative care, our gentle, child-focused approach ensures they remain comfortable throughout their visit:

  • Tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally with your child’s teeth
  • Pediatric crowns designed specifically for primary teeth
  • Pulp therapy to save infected baby teeth
  • Space maintainers to preserve proper spacing after premature tooth loss
  • Gentle extractions when necessary

We explain each procedure in child-friendly terms and use specialized techniques to minimize discomfort. Our goal is to resolve dental issues while ensuring your child maintains a positive attitude toward dental visits.

IV Sedation Options for Anxious Children

For children who experience significant dental anxiety or require extensive treatment, we provide IV sedation services right in our office. This approach allows children to receive necessary care without the trauma or fear that might otherwise be associated with dental procedures.

Dr. Laurie has extensive experience with pediatric sedation techniques and prioritizes your child’s safety above all else. Every sedation plan is carefully customized after thorough discussion with parents, taking into account the child’s medical history, anxiety level, and treatment needs.

Why Queens Families Choose Open Bright Pediatric Dentistry

Parents throughout Queens choose our practice for several distinctive qualities that set us apart:

Multicultural, Multilingual Care

Queens is one of the most diverse communities in the world, and we’re proud to serve families from all cultural backgrounds. Dr. Laurie speaks Spanish, French, and Arabic, and many staff members are fluent in Spanish, ensuring clear communication with all our patients and their parents.

This multilingual approach allows us to explain procedures, discuss treatment options, and provide oral hygiene instructions in the language most comfortable for your family, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.

Child-Centered Environment and Approach

From the moment your family enters our office, you’ll notice the difference in our child-centered approach:

  • Bright, engaging waiting area designed to put children at ease
  • Child-sized dental equipment that’s less intimidating
  • Patient, gentle dental team experienced in working with children of all ages
  • Age-appropriate explanations that help children understand their dental care
  • Positive reinforcement that builds confidence with each visit

We understand that a child’s early dental experiences can shape their attitude toward oral healthcare for life. That’s why we’ve created an environment where dental visits feel more like an adventure than a chore.

Focus on Building Relationships

We believe successful pediatric dentistry is built on trust—not just between doctor and patient, but between our entire team and your family. We take time to listen to parents’ concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and involve children in age-appropriate decisions about their care.

Many of our patients have been with us for years, and we love watching them grow while maintaining healthy smiles. We create the kind of supportive atmosphere where children actually look forward to seeing us again.
