Gentle care, happy smiles – welcome to Floss Boss Pediatric Dentistry
Finding the right dentist for your child can feel overwhelming—especially when you want someone who is not only highly trained but also gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. At Floss Boss Pediatric Dentistry, we’re proud to be the trusted choice for families in Flemington and Hillsborough, NJ, offering specialized dental care in a fun and comforting environment designed just for kids.
From your child’s first tooth to their teenage years, we’re here every step of the way—building healthy habits, preventing cavities, and making dental visits something to smile about.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
You might wonder: Can’t my child just see a general dentist? While that’s an option, pediatric dentists receive extra years of training focused exclusively on children’s oral health—from infancy through adolescence. That includes understanding baby teeth, growth patterns, behavior management, and even how to treat children with special healthcare needs.
At Floss Boss Pediatric Dentistry, our team is specifically trained to work with young patients in a way that makes them feel safe, supported, and empowered. We use age-appropriate explanations, positive reinforcement, and gentle techniques that help build trust and confidence from day one.
Services Tailored for Children’s Needs
Our practice is designed to provide comprehensive dental care for children of all ages. Some of the key services we offer include:
-
Infant oral exams: Recommended by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth.
-
Preventive care: Cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and habit counseling (such as thumb sucking or pacifier use).
-
Digital X-rays: Low-radiation imaging to track development and catch early issues.
-
Tooth-colored fillings: Aesthetic and safe restorations if cavities are present.
-
Emergency dental care: For falls, toothaches, or sports-related accidents.
-
Education for parents: Because we believe you’re your child’s first and best dental advocate.
Our Hillsborough and Flemington offices are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and a kid-friendly layout, making the entire experience feel more like an adventure than a routine appointment.
Creating Positive Dental Experiences
Let’s face it—many adults remember feeling nervous or even scared at the dentist when they were younger. At Floss Boss, we do everything possible to make sure your child has a different story. Our environment is playful, warm, and welcoming. We greet every child with a smile, and we celebrate every milestone—from a first visit to cavity-free checkups.
For more anxious patients, we also offer behavior guidance techniques and sedation options when necessary. Our priority is always your child’s comfort and well-being, and we never move forward with a treatment unless your child feels at ease.
When Should My Child First See the Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth erupts. Early visits allow us to:
-
Check for signs of decay or developmental concerns
-
Educate parents on oral hygiene, nutrition, and habits
-
Help children get familiar with the dental chair in a non-threatening way
Regular visits every six months after that help ensure proper development and reinforce healthy routines at home.
