How much does a pediatric dental visit cost in Craven County?
The provided information does not list consultation, cleaning, sedation, or treatment fees. Ask the office for a written estimate and whether your dental plan is accepted before scheduling.
Which listed pediatric dentist handles dental emergencies?
Front Street Pediatric Dentistry lists pediatric emergency care and after-hours emergency instructions, and says it tries to see emergencies quickly. Call before going in so the office can provide current instructions.
Can an infant have a first dental visit?
Yes. Front Street specifically lists infant oral health and initial visits for infants among its services and patient needs.
What options are available for an anxious child or a child with special needs?
Front Street lists nitrous oxide, distraction techniques, and a Tell, Show, Do approach, while both Front Street and Coastal list special-needs dentistry. Coastal also lists pediatric sedation dentistry.

Ask which sedation method is planned, who will monitor the child, what fasting or transportation instructions apply, and how the fee and insurance coverage are handled. The listings confirm that Coastal offers pediatric sedation but do not provide those procedural details.
