PEDIATRIC PULPOTOMIES
Is your child experiencing a toothache that just won’t go away? It might be a sign of infection, but fear not! Our pulpotomy procedure can alleviate their discomfort in a single visit. Think of a pulpotomy as a “baby root canal” that stops the infection in its tracks. By choosing this treatment, we can restore your little one’s oral health and bring back their bright smile, allowing them to continue enjoying all the laughter and carefree moments of childhood.
PEDIATRIC EXTRACTIONS
When it comes to restoring your child’s smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary focus is to preserve and restore damaged teeth through various treatments. However, in some cases, tooth extractions become the best option to get your child’s smile back on track. Rest assured, our Hallandale Beach pediatric dentist prioritizes your child’s comfort and uses gentle techniques and sedation options to make the extraction process quick and pain-free. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!
PEDIATRIC FRENECTOMIES
If you’re struggling with breastfeeding, a frenectomy might be the solution you’ve been searching for. A frenectomy is a simple and painless surgical procedure that can improve the quality of life for both you and your baby. It involves removing excess tissue in the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is tight or restrictive, it can limit your baby’s mobility and hinder their ability to latch properly during breastfeeding. By undergoing a frenectomy, you can enhance your baby’s feeding experience, promote better milk transfer, and alleviate discomfort for both you and your little one. Rest assured, this procedure is relatively quick and has a high success rate, providing a straightforward solution to a complex breastfeeding challenge.
PEDIATRIC SEDATION
Does your child find it challenging to sit still during dental appointments? Dental anxiety making their visits stressful? We have just the solution: sedation options! Our sedation techniques can alleviate restlessness and anxiety, ensuring your child receives the necessary dental care without pain or stress. By keeping your little one calm and comfortable, we help them develop a positive outlook on dental visits and the importance of oral health. If you think sedation could benefit your child, let us know, and we’ll assist you in finding the best option for their needs.

Don’t hesitate to give us a call immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What restorative treatments do you offer for kids in Hallandale Beach?
We offer tooth-colored fillings, zirconia crowns, pulpotomies (often called a ‘baby root canal’), extractions when necessary, frenectomies, and sedation options – everything needed to restore a decayed or damaged smile.
How do I know if my child needs restorative treatment?
Common signs include a toothache, sensitivity, visible dark spots or holes, or a chipped or broken tooth. An exam and, if needed, a digital X-ray let Dr. Garber confirm what’s going on and recommend the right treatment.
Do cavities in baby teeth really need to be treated?
Yes. Even though baby teeth fall out, decay can spread, cause real pain, and lead to infection. Baby teeth also guide the adult teeth into place, so treating them protects your child’s long-term smile.
Will my child be in pain during restorative procedures?
We keep your child comfortable with local anesthesia and gentle techniques, and we offer sedation for anxious children. Most kids handle treatment easily with our calm, unhurried approach.
Do you offer sedation for children who are scared or can't sit still?
Yes. We provide sedation options to help restless or anxious children receive the care they need without stress. Tell us about your child’s needs, and we’ll help you choose the best option.
My child cracked a tooth - is that restorative care or an emergency?
It can be both. Call us right away at (954) 526-4884 – we offer same-day emergency visits, and if the tooth needs restoring afterward, we can plan a filling or crown to bring back its strength and appearance.
Do you see children from Hollywood, Aventura, and Bal Harbour for restorative work?
Yes. Families travel to our Hallandale Beach office from Hollywood, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, and nearby areas for fillings, crowns, and other restorative care.
Are your fillings and crowns tooth-colored?
Yes. We use tooth-colored composite fillings and white zirconia crowns that blend in with your child’s natural teeth, so restored teeth look healthy and natural rather than metallic.
How do you keep restorative visits calm for an anxious child?
Dr. Garber explains each step in kid-friendly language, works at your child’s pace, and offers sedation when helpful. Care is available in English and Spanish to keep both kids and parents at ease.
Do you offer payment options or a membership plan for restorative care?
Yes. We offer an in-house membership plan with discounts on our full range of services, and our team can help you understand your insurance benefits. Call (954) 526-4884 to learn more.
