Care From the First Tooth On

ICON Pediatric Dentistry cares for children from infancy through the teen years at six offices in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Hampton and Suffolk. Every child is treated by a pediatric dentist who completed an ADA-accredited pediatric dentistry residency.

When a child needs braces, we refer to Behl Orthodontics and keep seeing your child for checkups.

Care for Children Who Need More

Some children need more time, a quieter room or a different approach. ICON cares for children with special health care needs, children with strong dental fear, and children who need urgent help after an injury, at every office.

Special needs dentistry

Tell us about your child when you book: sensory needs, medical conditions, past experiences or anything that helps the visit go well. The team reads it before your child arrives.

For children who need treatment under sedation or general anesthesia, ICON provides it in office. The dentist reviews your child’s health and every option with you first, and the sedation pages explain what to expect.

Care for Every Age

Dental needs change as children grow. Babies need a first visit and help with brushing, school-age children need sealants and checkups as adult teeth arrive, and teens need guidance through wisdom teeth, sports and braces.

Why a Pediatric Specialist

A pediatric dentist completes two to three years of additional residency training after dental school, focused only on children, including infants, teens and children with special health care needs. Offices, tools and explanations are built around children.

Parents often ask whether a family dentist can see young children. Many do. A pediatric dentist brings specialty training in child development, behavior and the conditions that affect growing teeth.

That training shows up in small ways: shorter explanations, child-sized tools, a team used to toddlers who will not open their mouths, and a plan for teens who have not seen a dentist in years. Children who grow up at a pediatric office usually move to a family or general dentist in their late teens.

Prevention Comes First

Most dental care for children should be prevention. Regular checkups, fluoride, sealants and good habits at home stop most cavities before they start, so treatment visits stay rare and small.

Cleanings and prevention

When a cavity does appear, catching it at a six-month checkup usually means a small filling instead of a crown or an extraction later.
