Temple Children's Dentistry serves children 0- 15 in the city of Philadelphia and surrounding areas, with regular wellness dental visits and emergency walk ins.
Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special health care needs. The mission of Pediatric Dentistry and Community Health Sciences at Temple-Kornberg School of Dentistry is to offer access to care for children and to provide patients with outstanding care. Primary focus is care of the child, not the child’s teeth. Dental students provide children with emergency care and comprehensive treatment that includes diagnosis, prevention, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, oral surgery, periodontal care, management of the developing occlusion, and behavior guidance. In a manner that respects cultural diversity, children and families learn about prevention of dental disease and the relationship between good oral health and good total health.
