Our Pediatric Dental Services include:

Preventive and Diagnostic Procedures  - The heart of our pediatric dental practice, preventative care includes Comprehensive Oral Evaluations and Dental Cleanings every six months, along with Fluoride Treatments, Digital X-Rays, and Dental Sealants. We also provide oral hygiene instruction at each of our appointments to instill good habits at an early age.

Restorative Dentistry - Pediatric Dental Associates offers Composite Fillings for a more natural appearance, Pulp Treatment (also known as a Pulpotomy, Pulpectomy, or Baby Root Canal), Dental Crowns for teeth with a great deal of decay, and Dental Extractions.

Cosmetic Dentistry - In the case of chipped or broken teeth, Pediatric Dental Associates offers Cosmetic Bonding to fill in the chip with tooth-colored material for a natural appearance. We also offer Icon® a new, revolutionary approach to treatment of smooth surface staining.

Nitrous Oxide - When a procedure is complex or a child is particularly anxious, we can administer nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to put them at ease. With pediatric patients, nitrous oxide is a preferred method of sedation as it is inhaled rather than injected and it wears off quickly.

After a long career as a pediatric dental hygienist, Dr. McGuire decided to follow her passion and earn her Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1994. After completing specialized training in pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center, she began practicing as a dentist in Somerset County. She launched her own practice in 2005 and since then has been named a Top Pediatric Dentist in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly magazine for over a decade.
