Services
Dental Exams
Comprehensive dental exams assess children's oral health, including teeth, gums, and jaw development. We review medical history, screen for decay or disease, and create personalized treatment plans. Early detection ensures timely intervention for optimal dental growth.
Sealants
Dental sealants are applied to molars to prevent cavities by sealing grooves where bacteria accumulate. This quick, painless procedure offers long-term protection, especially for children prone to decay, complementing regular brushing and fluoride use.
Orthodontics
Interceptive orthodontics addresses early alignment issues like crossbites using removable appliances. Timely intervention guides proper jaw development and reduces future orthodontic complexity, promoting functional and aesthetic dental outcomes.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt care for dental emergencies such as trauma, infections, or severe pain. After-hours emergencies receive immediate attention through our on-call protocol, ensuring children's dental health is safeguarded outside regular hours.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) helps anxious children relax during dental procedures. This safe, reversible sedation method eases fear without putting patients to sleep, allowing cooperative treatment while maintaining a positive office experience.

Report
My son has Autism and has been a patient of Dr. Neel's for over 10 years. He is very patient and understanding of my son's needs. Some visits have been better than others and everyone is so understanding when the other occurs. I highly recommend Greenspring Pediatric Dentistry.

I really like this dentist office. They do a great job with making the kids comfortable, showing them the instruments before they start the procedures and talk them through what's happening. I also like the praise and encouragement they give while working which helps keep them comfortable and NOT scared of the dentist. My kids ask about going back to the dentist. The "treat bags" are a plus too.

Everyone made both my girl's feel great about going to the dentist. It was my youngest first time, and she can't wait to go back.
