Sedation Services
As Pediatric Dental specialists, we understand that every child is unique, and we strive to make your child feel as comfortable as possible. Whether through sedation dentistry or other techniques, our goal is for your child to be excited about visiting us. One of our favorite things to hear is when a parent shares how eager their child is to come to the office. Part of making your child feel comfortable is alleviating any anxiety that they might feel about dental treatment. Our office provides several treatment methods to meet your child’s needs best.

About
Dr. Plagenhoef
A Gentle and Friendly Examination
During your child’s visit, Dr. Bhaumik and Dr. Mila will begin by thoroughly examining your child’s teeth and gums. This step helps assess overall oral health and identify any potential concerns. Throughout the examination, we make sure your child feels comfortable and engaged. We take the time to praise them for taking care of their teeth and explain everything in a friendly, reassuring manner.
This gentle approach helps build confidence and trust, making future visits to the dentist a breeze. We understand that children can sometimes feel anxious about dental appointments, so we work hard to make each visit a positive experience.
Discussing Findings and Recommendations
After completing the visual examination and reviewing any necessary X-rays, Dr. Bhaumik and Dr. Mila will discuss their findings with both you and your child. If your child’s teeth and gums are healthy, we will provide guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home. However, if there are areas of concern, we will thoroughly explain the best course of action.
If a cavity is detected, we will go over the available treatment options in a way that both parents and children can understand. Our team is committed to making sure you feel informed and comfortable with any recommended procedures. Depending on the situation, treatment may include fillings, crowns, or other interventions designed to restore your child’s oral health.
Simple and Stress-Free Treatment Options
At Stonebrook Pediatric Dentistry, we strive to make every treatment as efficient and straightforward as possible. If your child requires a dental procedure, we will ensure that the experience is smooth and stress-free. Our office provides:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Aesthetic and durable restorations for small cavities.
- Dental Crowns: Protection for damaged or decayed teeth to restore function and appearance.
- Sports Mouth Guards: Custom-made to protect your child’s teeth during athletic activities.
We take great care to ensure that your child remains comfortable throughout any procedure. Our team is trained to handle children’s dental needs with patience and compassion, making the experience easier for both kids and parents.
The Importance of Regular Checkups
Routine dental visits are crucial for maintaining your child’s oral health. We recommend scheduling checkups and cleanings every six months. These visits allow us to monitor your child’s dental development, catch potential issues early, and provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Regular exams also help reinforce healthy habits, such as proper brushing and flossing techniques. Our goal is to equip both parents and children with the knowledge needed to maintain strong, healthy smiles for life.

We know that a trip to the dentist can sometimes feel overwhelming for kids. That’s why we go the extra mile to create a fun and relaxing atmosphere at Stonebrook Pediatric Dentistry. From our friendly team to our engaging office environment, we do everything possible to make dental visits enjoyable.
Our staff is trained to use positive reinforcement, explaining procedures in a child-friendly way and offering encouragement throughout the visit. We want your child to leave our office with a big smile and excitement for their next appointment!
