Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Comprehensive dental exams tailored for children, focusing on preventive care and early detection of oral health issues. Our exams include thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and jaw development to ensure optimal growth. Parents receive clear guidance on home care and dietary habits to support lifelong oral health.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. These treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective for children prone to cavities. We use child-friendly techniques to ensure comfort while delivering essential minerals that protect developing teeth.
Dental Sealants
Protective sealants applied to molars to block bacteria and food particles from causing decay. This non-invasive procedure is ideal for children with deep grooves in their teeth. Sealants provide long-lasting defense against cavities while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Emergency Dental Care
24/7 emergency services for dental injuries, infections, or severe pain. Our team prioritizes prompt care to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Parents appreciate no additional fees for emergency exams when regular checkups are maintained.

I had an amazing experience and Children's Dentistry of Trappe! This was my son's first time at a dentist and I am so happy I found Dr. Hans. His staff was very welcoming, nice and accommodating to my 15 month old. They allowed him to explore and get used to the new environment so he could feel comfortable before his visit. Dr. Hans was so patient with my son, very knowledge and made my son feel at ease for his first time at the dentist! I appreciated how he answered all of my questions and gave me great suggestions on how to improve my son's oral health. Everyone was wonderful and I am so happy I established here!

This is our second time with our Son ( 3 years ) and first time with my daughter ( 2 years ). My son definitely looks forward to going to this place. The doctor and nurses are very gentle, kid friendly and professional. The office staff is also friendly and pleasant.

I was absolutely blown away by my experience at Children's Dentistry of Trappe! From the moment we walked in the door, we were welcomed by the wonderful staff and I had such a good feeling. This was my 2 year old daughter's first time at the dentist. Dr. Eric took time before he did any work on my daughter to explain what he was going to do, let her touch and use the tools he was going to use, and had such a calming demeanor about him. Not only did we not see a single tear or hear any complaints from my daughter, she was all smiles and high fives! I cannot say enough good things about our experience!
