Children's Hospital Toothtown
At Toothtown,
our pediatric dental services are designed to meet the unique needs
of healthy infants, children and adolescents and to address the
special needs of patients whose medical and dental problems are
more complex. Our comprehensive dental services include:
- Preventive
dental services
- Dental health
education
- Restorative
dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Oral and
maxillofacial surgery
- Outpatient
sedation/general anesthesia/operating room dentistry
The Dentists
at Toothtown are specially trained to be sensitive to the developmental,
behavioral and treatment needs of children. Whether those needs include
basic preventive dentistry or the integrated management of complex
medical, developmental, behavioral and restorative needs. The pediatric
dental experts at Miami Children's are well prepared to guide your
child toward a lifetime of optimal oral health.
Our dentists often
serve as coordinators of complex dental services and are responsible
for early diagnosis and seeking other specialty consultation when
the need arises. Based upon a child's clinical and radiographic evaluation,
the pediatric dentist may recommend further evaluation by specialists
who concentrate on the health of the gums and supporting bony structures,
the alignment of teeth, or other areas. The pediatric dentists at
Miami Children's Hospital are also part of the Craniofacial
Center team, which treats children with dental-facial conditions
such as jaw deformities, cleft lip/palate and other facial deformations.
The Pediatric Dental
program at Miami Children's Hospital is affiliated with Nova
Southeastern University. Miami Children's Hospital is a member
of the university's Consortium For Excellence in Medical Education,
an alliance of clinical sites linked through electronic networks;
teaching, research, and community health collaborations; and a shared
commitment to excellence in the education of tomorrow's physicians.
Our staff collaborates with specialists in Neurosciences, Cardiology,
Genetics, Speech Pathology, Rehabilitative Services, Emergency Medicine
and Hematology/Oncology to provide optimal and comprehensive care
for our patients. Locally, Miami Children's Hospital is also the only
hospital whose Emergency Room is staffed 24 hours a day with a pediatric
dentist.
