At Nova Dental, we've built a practice around making children feel safe, comfortable, and even excited about dental care. Our kid-focused approach has earned the trust of thousands of Newark families.
Comprehensive pediatric dental care from baby's first tooth through the teenage years.
The foundation of a healthy smile begins in childhood. Here's what every Newark parent should know.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child's first dental visit by their first birthday — or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits prevent problems before they start.
Dental sealants can prevent up to 80% of cavities in back teeth — where most childhood tooth decay occurs. A quick, painless treatment that saves years of future dental work and cost.
Our digital X-ray technology emits up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays — making it completely safe for children of all ages while giving our dentists a precise, detailed view of your child's development.
According to the CDC, 42% of children aged 2–11 have had cavities in their primary teeth. Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early intervention at Nova Dental keep your child in the healthy 58%.
Children should have a professional dental cleaning and exam every 6 months. Consistent visits help us track jaw development, catch orthodontic concerns early, and build positive dental habits that last a lifetime.
Nova Dental proudly accepts Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, meaning most families pay nothing out of pocket for their child's routine dental care. Quality dentistry should never be a financial burden for Newark families.
