Routine Exams & Cleanings for Kids

Pediatric Dentist Towson MD | Favorite Smile Pediatric Dentistry

At Favorite Smile, we’re here to guide your child’s oral health journey from that very first tiny tooth all the way through their teenage years. That’s why regular exams and visits are such an important part of keeping little smiles healthy. During each visit, our friendly team creates a gentle, nurturing environment—so your child can feel calm and comfortable every step of the way.

As we care for your child’s smile, we take time to check their dental development, look for early signs of any issues, and share simple tips for good brushing and healthy habits at home.

Most importantly, these routine visits aren’t just about cleanings and checkups—they’re opportunities to learn together, build confidence, and help your child (and you!) feel empowered to make great choices for lifelong oral health.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enjoy bringing my children to this pediatric dentistry. Everyone is fairly kind and listens to my concerns. I just wish they took patients past the age of 16 years old. I hate to have to find a new dentist for my then teenagers when we get to that point:(

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Alarcon and her staff epitomize what healthcare should be. They are competent, considerate, and they care. From my first contact with the office a few months ago , through the completion of a procedure on our 4 year old grandson, under general anesthesia at Sinai hospital yesterday, our experience with Dr Alarcon has been wonderful. Dr Alarcon herself is very professional, while being gracious ,compassionate and attentive to the needs of her young patients. Her office assistant Chantel was in constant communication with us in the weeks leading up to the procedure both by text and by phone, addressing my concerns with patience and kindness. The experience at Sinai Hospital’s children’s center was refreshingly efficient and extremely sensitive to our grandson’s fears and apprehension. From the receptionist in the center, to the nurses, to the anesthesiologist, each person went above and beyond to assure our grandson’s comfort. I could go on about Dr Alarcon and this whole experience, but suffice it to say that this grandfather, from another age, has had some of his faith in present day healthcare restored. With a grateful heart, I thank all of them, and recommend Dr Alarcon without reservation.
