Kids appreciate the fun that comes with each visit.

We serve families across Yardley, Newtown, Holland, Levittown, Doylestown, and the greater Bucks County area.

Why Choose a Dedicated Pediatric Dentist in Yardley, PA?

A pedodontist completes additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing specifically on the oral development, behavior, and unique needs of infants, children, and teens. That specialized expertise makes a real difference in how your child experiences dental care and how their smile grows over the years.

Here's what sets pediatric dental care apart at our Yardley office:

• Specialized training in child development. Dr. Radin and Dr. Levine understand how baby teeth, permanent teeth, and jaws grow together, so small issues get caught early.
• A preventive-first mindset. Regular cleanings and check-ups, sealants, and fluoride help stop cavities before they start.
• Kid-friendly techniques. Positive reinforcement, tell-show-do, and gentle communication build healthy habits that stick for life.
• Modern tools that reduce discomfort. Our CO2 laser allows for a laser frenectomy with no bleeding, no stitches, and faster healing.
• Nutrition guidance for the whole child. We help parents understand how food choices affect teeth, gums, and overall wellness.

Both Dr. Radin and Dr. Levine are members of the American Dental Association (ADA), and Dr. Levine is a board-certified pediatric dentist recognized by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD). Dr. Levine also brings specialized, hands-on experience in laser frenectomy care for tongue and lip ties. Their combined training gives your family access to skilled, patient-focused care for every stage of childhood.

From the warm welcome at the front desk to the care plan tailored to your child you'll take home, every step is paced to your child's comfort. Here's what a typical visit looks like from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child first see a dentist?

The AAPD recommends your child's first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Establishing a dental home early helps us monitor development, guide teething and hygiene at home, and make future visits feel comfortable and familiar.

How often should kids get dental cleanings?

Most children benefit from cleanings and check-ups every six months. Regular visits let Dr. Radin and Dr. Levine catch cavities early, apply preventive treatments like sealants or fluoride, and track your child's oral development. Some kids with higher cavity risk may need more frequent visits.

Is sedation dentistry safe for children?

Yes. We use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation for children who need extra help relaxing during treatment. Both options are widely used in pediatric dentistry and carefully dosed for your child's age and weight. We review medical history, monitor your child throughout the visit, and give parents clear instructions before and after.

What is a laser frenectomy and when is it needed?

A laser frenectomy is a quick procedure that releases a tight band of tissue under the tongue or upper lip. It's often recommended when a tongue-tie or lip-tie interferes with breastfeeding, speech, or oral function. Using our CO2 laser, the treatment is minimally invasive with no bleeding and no stitches.
