What age should my child first visit Merrick Pediatric Dentistry?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s inaugural checkup by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting; at Merrick Pediatric Dentistry, our board-certified team turns that initial visit into a playful, educational experience that sets the stage for cavity-free smiles.
Is sedation dentistry available at Merrick Pediatric Dentistry for anxious children?
Yes, we offer multiple levels of safe, in-office sedation—from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to IV sedation administered by a licensed anesthesiologist—so even children with severe dental anxiety or special needs can receive painless, comprehensive care in a single, stress-free visit.
How does Merrick Pediatric Dentistry handle dental emergencies after hours?
If your child knocks out a tooth or suffers trauma after 5 p.m., call our main number (516) 547-1997 and listen for the 24-hour emergency line; a pediatric dentist on call will triage the injury and, if necessary, meet you at the office within the hour to preserve that precious permanent tooth.
Does Merrick Pediatric Dentistry accept my insurance?
We are in-network with most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, and Cigna, plus we file all paperwork electronically on your behalf; simply bring your insurance card to our website https://www.merrickpediatricdentistry.com/ and our benefits coordinator will calculate your exact copay before any treatment begins.
