Children’s Dentistry in South Loop, Chicago
Importance of Pediatric Dentistry
Early dental care is crucial, as cavities are more common than asthma in children, affecting 20% of kids aged 5 to 11. Without proper care, oral health issues can lead to pain and long-term complications.

Equipping Parents and Caregivers with Essential Knowledge
An essential part of children’s dentistry is educating parents and caregivers about how to take the best care of their child’s teeth. At Sloop Dental, besides providing the required dental treatment to your child, our dentist in South Loop also offers guidance to parents and caregivers on issues related to teething, oral hygiene maintenance, diet, and routine visits. A healthy diet, low in sugar, is essential for preventing tooth decay, which can begin as early as six months. Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and routine dental treatments are crucial in protecting your child’s teeth.
In addition, we provide habit counseling to address behaviors like thumb sucking, pacifier use, and nail biting, which can lead to dental issues. Early intervention is key to ensuring proper oral hygiene and our goal is to help parents confidently support their child’s oral health and establish habits that prevent future issues.
