Preventative Dental Care
Preventive oral care is essential to your child’s future success and general well-being. We love showing our young patients proper brushing and flossing techniques they can practice at home. We make each dental cleaning and exam fun and informative!
We utilize a variety of preventive measures, including sealants and topical fluoride to help children develop healthy teeth from an early age. We also work closely with parents to establish healthy household eating patterns to minimize the incidence of problems with their children's teeth.
Some of the preventive dental services we offer for your little ones include:
- Fluoride treatments
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Dental sealants
- Protective mouthguards
- Dental cleanings
Our pediatric services keep your child’s teeth healthy until they are ready to fall out. We protect adult teeth as they start coming so that your child learns how to maintain a healthy smile for life.
Together, we can keep your child’s smile beautiful, healthy, and strong.
The Benefits of Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
Dr. Mohit Virmani and Dr. Jennifer Virmani may recommend dental sealants and fluoride to aid in protecting your child’s beautiful smile:
Dental sealants – Dental sealants are thin coatings of a tooth-colored resin material that smooth out uneven tooth surfaces. Sealants protect your child from tooth decay and cavities and maintain their oral health.
Fluoride – Fluoride is a natural mineral that remineralizes and strengthens your child’s teeth as they develop. Our Owings Mills kids dentists may recommend fluoride treatments for your little one during their regular teeth cleanings and dental exams.
Mouth Guards Protect Your Child's Teeth
If you have an active child, Drs. Mohit and Jennifer Virmani may recommend protective sports gear to help protect their mouth.
Did you know that sports injuries account for almost half of dental emergencies? We can try to prevent an oral accident before it happens, especially if your child plays a sport. Unlike the one-size-fits-all brands you can find in stores, we custom fit your child’s mouthguard so that it conforms perfectly to their bite. Since they fit comfortably, your child may wear them more often.
We know you can’t stop accidents from happening, but we can lessen the severity.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
We encourage our Pikesville patients to make their child's first dental appointment after their first baby teeth come in, and no later than age one.
We make your child’s first visit to the dentist fun, exciting, and safe. We understand that as a parent, you may be unsure of how your child will react, and what to expect during the first dental visit. Drs. Jennifer and Mohit Virmani and their fantastic dental team make each visit an exciting adventure. We provide constant reassurance and continuously explain each process and the importance of good oral health.
While we speak with your child, we’ll make sure to use easy to understand terms and allow them space to ask questions. During their first dental visit, we’ll count their teeth and perform a visual examination. We will take photos of their mouth and make sure they are comfortable in the dental chair. At each visit, we like to discuss home-care and proper cleaning techniques. Our amazing Owings Mills dental team knows how to make dental visits light and fun.
There’s no reason for your child to feel nervous, anxious, or fearful about visits, and we work hard to create a positive experience.
Gentle Pediatric Care
When dental intervention is necessary, we strive to find the minor differences in techniques, which work well for the individual child and thus optimize their dental experience. We can use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help keep children relaxed when necessary. We also explain everything to children in a playful manner, so they can better enjoy their dental experience.
We also closely monitor the development of your child's teeth at each visit. This allows us to determine whether orthodontic treatment will be necessary. Catching any tooth development variations at an early age often allows for more straightforward treatment down the road.
Children's Dental Emergency
If your child starts complaining of tooth pain or has experienced a sports injury, contact our Owings Mills dental office immediately at (410) 684-0173.
Even if you’ve never seen us before and are a brand-new patient, we will arrange a dental appointment as soon as we can, and our dental team will assist with what to do before visiting our office. We know how upsetting a dental emergency can be, and we are here to relieve pain and anxiety and fix the oral issue as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
As a parent, you want to take steps to protect your child’s smile, and so do we.
Drs. Mohit Virmani and Jennifer Virmani, your dentists in Pikesville, MD, provide comprehensive preventive dentistry to help give your child an excellent starting place for lifelong oral health.
These services include comprehensive check-ups, x-rays as needed, and professional teeth cleaning when age-appropriate.
If your child needs extra intervention, we also consider dental sealants and Fluoride treatments.
Dental sealants are a tooth-colored resin material that helps smooth out the surfaces of teeth. They create a barrier between your child’s enamel and cavity-causing debris.
Fluoride treatments help build strong teeth by mineralizing and strengthening.
Children tend to indulge in sweets and acidic fruit drinks, which are not good for their teeth. For your part, we recommend replacing at least some of these indulgences with healthy snacks like celery or other crunchy veggies and water.
Your child’s dentist in Pikesville can also provide toothbrushing tips to help you make the most of your child’s at-home routine. For older children, who are brushing on their own, we can also help them to optimize their brushing and flossing schedules.
At Naylors Court Dental partners, we will assess your child’s smile and provide a customized treatment approach that includes any advice and tips to help you help your kids.
Did you know that baby teeth begin growing in at about six months of age, but most children in the U.S. don’t visit a dentist until they’re two years old? The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that infants see a dentist within six months of the first tooth erupting. A children’s dentist in Pikesville can help foster a lifelong positive attitude towards oral care and dental visits.
Are there any misconceptions?
There are many misconceptions about the best time to start dental visits. For example, parents may think their child doesn’t need to see a dentist until permanent teeth come in or until their child has lots of teeth.
But the truth is that healthy baby teeth (called primary teeth) lead to healthy permanent teeth. Primary teeth help preserve the space for permanent teeth, aid in proper chewing, and even improve speech development.
What about anxiety?
Many children may feel anxious about the loud sounds and pointy equipment at dental visits. A children’s dentist in Pikeville understands that waiting until a child is older may result in more anxiety about dental visits. Introducing oral care when children are very young can relieve feelings of uncertainty later. For these reasons, you should start dentist visits within six months of the first tooth erupting. Call today if you have any further questions.
