We’re committed to making pediatric dentistry in Charlotte, NC be simple, accessible, and positive for every family we serve.
We provide complete dental care for infants, children, and teens. Our services are designed to support healthy development while preventing common dental problems.
Our services for pediatric dentistry in Charlotte include:
We focus on teaching children proper brushing and flossing while helping parents understand how daily habits and diet impact oral health.
Your child’s first visit establishes the foundation for future dental experiences. We recommend bringing children by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing.
Early visits allow us to:
The first appointment is gentle and brief. We examine teeth and gums, check jaw development, and discuss home care. We keep things simple and avoid overwhelming young children. The goal is building trust, not rushing treatment.
Prevention is the cornerstone of pediatric dentistry. With the right care, most dental issues can be avoided.
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing misses. Even with excellent home care, professional cleaning reaches areas kids typically miss. We use techniques appropriate for children’s comfort levels.
Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel and make teeth more resistant to decay. We apply fluoride gel or varnish after cleanings. This quick, painless treatment provides significant protection against cavities.
Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria easily collect. Sealants fill these grooves, creating smooth surfaces that are much easier to clean. They’re particularly helpful for children still developing good brushing skills.
We teach children proper brushing and flossing techniques using age-appropriate demonstrations. Kids learn better through hands-on practice than verbal instructions alone. We also discuss diet’s role in dental health, helping children understand why limiting sugary foods and drinks matters.
Cavities happen even with good home care. When they occur, we treat them promptly to prevent progression. For children, we use gentle techniques and discuss their comfort needs before treatment.
Cavities can develop despite good habits. When they do, we treat them early to prevent progression. Our techniques are designed to minimize discomfort and anxiety.
We use composite fillings that blend naturally with teeth. These materials bond directly to the tooth and preserve more healthy structure than traditional options.
If a baby tooth is lost too early, nearby teeth can shift into the empty space. Space maintainers keep that space open so permanent teeth can erupt properly.
Dental anxiety is common, especially for younger patients. We take a thoughtful approach to help children feel at ease.
For children with higher anxiety or more complex needs, talk with Dr. Shrestha about comfort options before treatment.
Our goal is always a calm, positive experience.

Children are active, which makes dental injuries more common.
For permanent teeth, quick action is critical. If preserved properly and treated quickly, the tooth may be saved. For baby teeth, we typically do not reimplant, but evaluation is still essential.
We assess the damage and restore the tooth to protect it from further harm.
Pain can signal infection or decay. We evaluate the cause and discuss treatment options.
Infections require prompt care to prevent spread. We provide treatment and follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
We believe every child should have access to urgent dental care. At Amity Dentistry:
The habits children develop now will affect their oral health for life. We emphasize prevention, consistency, and education.
We work closely with parents to:
Small daily habits lead to long-term health.
We focus on:
Every child is treated as an individual. We adjust our approach based on personality, comfort level, and needs.

Bring your child to our office by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help us identify potential issues and familiarize your child with dental care.
We use digital X-rays, which emit considerably less radiation than traditional X-rays. We take them only when necessary to diagnose issues not visible during exams.
If it’s a permanent tooth, keep it moist and seek care immediately. For baby teeth, do not attempt to reinsert them. Bring your child in so we can evaluate the situation.
Yes. We provide emergency dental care for children with or without insurance. Flexible payment options are available, including financing.
