Dr. Clark and our staff recently purchased a new camera that was prominently featured on the TV show "The Doctors." As part of our commitment to learning about and obtaining new technology, the Soprolife Intraoral Camera uses fluorescence technology to find and detect cavities. 
Happy Monday! Dr. Pamela Clark and our entire team would like to give those patients with flex spend, health savings, or insurance benefits a friendly end of the year reminder that it's about that time to schedule your child's dental visits so you can optimize your benefits!
Good question! The short answer is, "First visit by first birthday."
Your child’s comfort is an important priority in our practice. Children often dislike the lingering sensation of being numb after a dental procedure or may try to chew their lip or cheek causing trauma. To prevent any discomfort associated with the after-effects of anesthesia, Dr. Clark and Dr. Reddy are now offering OraVerse to their patients.
Pearland dentist Dr. Pamela Clark and our team have discussed cavities before, but how exactly does one get a cavity? A cavity is a hole that develops in a tooth when the tooth begins to decay. It’s important to get a cavity filled as soon as it’s detected so that it does not grow bigger.
Wouldn’t you believe it, the long, hot days of summer are just around the corner! At Pearland Pediatric Dentistry, our team knows that the summer months bring with them an increase in outdoor activities and a greater chance of our young athletes damaging their teeth. 
Memorial Day weekend, a time when Americans reflect and honor the men and women who have served to protect America and ensure our freedom, is almost here. For many people, getting out of town for three days after months and months of school or work spells sweet, sweet relief. 
Spring is here summer is rapidly approaching, and that means your kids will probably be spending lots of time outside. Playgrounds are everywhere from your backyard to the neighborhood park, and it's important to know what safety features to look for before your child hangs out parks here in Pearland, Alvin or Shadow Creek Ranch.
Is your child brushing his or her teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s terrific! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for your child to visit Pearland Pediatric Dentistry every six months in addition to brushing their teeth a couple times a day. If your child will be visiting Drs. Clark or Reddy for the first time, it’s important to bring them in after their first tooth comes through, and no later than their first birthday. After all, regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. During the appointment, Drs. Clark or Reddy can:
At Pearland Pediatric Dentistry, we know not everyone is always thrilled to visit their dentist. But our staff and Dr. Pamela Clark strive to bring you the best and most comforting experience at each of your child's visits. 
Our team at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry read an interesting article this morning pertaining to cavities and how bacteria spreads, and thought we'd share the news with you, our valued patients.
Lots of you have asked Dr. Pamela Clark about whether it’s healthy for children to suck thumbs and fingers. If you’ve got a thumb-sucker in the house, you are not alone. Research tells us that between 75% and 95% of infants suck their thumbs. 
Is dairy a major part of your child's diet? A 2008 study from the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) has found that regular consumption of dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, can lower chances of contracting periodontal disease (known also as gum disease).
We read a fascinating article on cavities recently in USAToday. In the article, the president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry said that one-third of children in the U.S. have cavities—that's right, multiple—by age three to five. That's why—under a new Massachusetts law—kids in day care there are now required to brush their teeth or have them brushed by a staffer. The article also points out that cavities are much more prevalent among young children today than they were a decade ago.
At Pearland Pediatric Dentistry, we think a child's first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable and positive. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel. Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. At Pearland Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Pamela Clark and Dr. Suha Reddy and our dedicated team make a practice of using pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe your child's first dental visit and treatment. We want you and your child to feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door.
For 60 Februaries, the American Dental Association, or ADA, has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. National Children's Dental Health Month began as a one-day event in 1941 in a Cleveland, OH clinic.
