About Orlando Pediatric Dentistry

Orlando Pediatric Dentistry on Tanner Road in east Orlando is a specialty dental practice designed from the ground up for the dental care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists complete two to three years of residency training after dental school specifically focused on child development, behavioral management, and the treatment of the primary and mixed dentition — a depth of training that makes a meaningful difference in the quality of care provided to children compared to general dentists who occasionally treat pediatric patients. The Tanner Road location serves east Orlando, Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park, and the surrounding east Orange County communities. From the moment a family arrives at Orlando Pediatric Dentistry, the environment is calibrated for children: the physical space is welcoming rather than clinical, the staff are experienced at engaging children of different ages and temperament levels, and the appointment process is structured to make dental care feel familiar and non-threatening from the very first visit. First visits for infants are typically scheduled around the time the first teeth emerge, with the primary goals being a basic oral examination, parental education about diet and hygiene, and helping the child and family establish dental care as a normal part of life. School-age children receive comprehensive examinations, professional cleaning, fluoride application, and sealants to protect the permanent molars from decay. Pediatric dental emergencies — knocked-out teeth, dental trauma, severe toothaches — are managed promptly, with the team providing guidance on what to do immediately and how quickly to get to the office. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for children who experience anxiety about dental procedures, providing a safe and effective option for managing dental anxiety in a cooperative child without resorting to more invasive sedation. Orthodontic screening is incorporated into routine visits so that emerging bite issues are identified early.

Orlando Pediatric Dentistry is a dental practice on Outer Road in the Northeast Orlando area of Orlando, Florida, offering children / pediatric dentistry and dental sealants among its listed services. The practice is open Monday through Thursday. You can reach the practice through this page to ask about treatment or request an appointment.

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.
When do children start losing baby teeth?
Usually from around age six, continuing until roughly age twelve, though the timing varies widely between children. Adult molars also come through at the back around age six without any baby tooth falling out first.
How long do dental sealants last?
Several years is typical, though they wear and are checked at routine appointments so they can be topped up if they have chipped or worn away.

We’ve been coming here for almost 10 years. Even though we only visit twice a year for check up and fluoride treatment, the Dr. Girardot still remembers all the details about my son. He is always so patient and thorough when answering my dental questions. The staffs are very nice as well.

I've been taking my child to this dentist for about 10 years now and we have always loved everyone that works here. By far THE best dentist I've ever dealt with or taken my child to! Very good listener, so good with kids, very understanding, easy to talk to, and just pleasant overall!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. J and the whole team were fantastic with my daughter—her fillings went incredibly smoothly. But what really sealed the deal was Dr. J's suspiciously extensive knowledge of Bluey characters. 😂 Great dentist. Great with kids. Possibly watches more Bluey than they do.

Dr. J and the entire team at Orlando Pediatric Dentistry are wonderful. They are excellent at ensuring kids are comfortable and parents are informed. The hygienist's are kind and and gentle. The office staff is welcoming and always open to accommodating schedule changes. Dr. J is great with kids and speaks directly to them to help them understand the importance of oral health. Highly recommended!

We've been bringing our children to Orlando Pediatric Dentistry for over 10 years, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with their dental care. It will be a bittersweet day when they're too old to come here! We first found Dr. Girardot when my autistic son was just around 3 or 4 years old after two other dentists were unable to successfully treat him. He was extremely anxious and wouldn't let anyone near his face or mouth. Dr. Girardot and his incredible team showed so much patience, compassion, and understanding that they completely earned his trust. Today, at 15 years old, they're still the only dental team he'll see. My 11-year-old daughter has never known another dentist, and that's because I've never had a reason to look elsewhere. Every single member of the staff is kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making children feel safe and comfortable. They take the time to explain everything, never rush appointments, and treat every child with so much care and respect. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who truly understands children, including those with special needs, I can't recommend Dr. Girardot and the entire team highly enough.
