Pediatric Oral Health
The oral health team at Monroe Carell offers a home for dental, oral and maxillofacial care to infants, children and adolescents. We provide family-based, child-oriented care that considers all aspects of oral health as your child grows. Our pediatric dentists, oral surgeons and orthodontic specialists provide simple dental hygiene and routine care, as well as more complex dental alignment and jaw reconstruction procedures. We work with specialists in other departments at Monroe Carell, including our dedicated cleft and craniofacial team.
