About Clover Pediatric Dentistry

Clover Pediatric Dentistry provides dental care on Mission Street Southeast in the Southeast Salem area of Salem, Oregon. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

What does a paediatric dentist do differently?
They complete additional training focused on children — how teeth develop, how to manage anxiety and behaviour in the chair, and conditions specific to young patients. The practical difference is usually as much about handling the visit as the treatment itself.
How do I stop my child getting cavities?
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, supervising until they have the dexterity to do it properly, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear during the day. Frequency of sugar matters more than the total amount.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

My 8 year old has a lot of dental anxiety. Dental assistant Ava and the dentist Dr Janny Lim were both wonderful. Very informative, kind, and upbeat. My daughter will be returning for treatment and a lot of her anxiety has been eased. Thank you a million ladies!!

Dr. Janny is such an amazing Dentist. My son was very nervous and scared about having dental work done and Dr. Janny created a plan that fit my sons needs and she explained everything to me and made it such an easy experience for my son and I. I recommend this dentist office to everyone. The last dentist office we went to was Acorn dentistry and I was very concerned about some of their behaviors there and how they treated my son, sorry Acorn dentistry, it is a blessing to be with Clover dentistry now, because my son had trauma from the other dentist office, Dr. Janny was very comforting and made my son feel like the trauma he experienced never happened. They are really good people here at this clinic. Definitely go here if your trying to find a dentist office for your kids. I love all of them. Thanks Clover!!

I first came to this dentist office for my son when he was assigned here and they were SO amazing with him that I called ohp to have my daughters dental insurance switched so that she could be seen here as well. I have struggled for so long to find a place my kids are comfortable going to where they don't fight me to be seen, and I've found that place here. All of the staff are absolutely AMAZING. They are patient and will explain everything to my 13 year old step by step for her entire appointment to ease her anxiety. I couldn't ask for a better dentists office for my kids and I am BEYOND grateful to be able to bring my kids to them.
