“Happy with Dr. Tong. Pleasant, happy staff that is very welcoming
when you arrive. Stays on schedule. Kids aren't afraid of the dentist and
work hard to get the t-shirt for no cavities. Also, while I was here I found
out that there are discounts for veterans in November. Awesome to offer
service members benefits!”
Sam J., Park Ridge, NJ
“Dr. Tong is a wonderful pediatric dentist. He has a calming presence
and knows how to talk to kids to alleviate their fears. He made going to the
dentist a fun experience for my young fearful son. I would highly recommend
him, especially if your child is nervous.”

Our Featured Pediatric Dental Services
We are proud to offer a wide array of services to meet your child’s
dental needs. Whether it is orthodontics, sedation dentistry, preventive
care, or restorative dentistry, we can ensure your little one’s smile
is properly maintained from childhood into adulthood.
Dental Sealants
The hard-to-reach back teeth are the most likely spots for cavities to
form, especially in younger patients who may not know how to brush them
properly just yet. That’s why our dentists are very likely to
recommend dental sealants! This tough, plastic-based material is painted
over the chewing surfaces so that it can form a tough barrier that blocks
out food particles and dangerous bacteria. The application process is fast
and painless, and they can provide valuable protection last for several
years at a time!
Fluoride Treatments
Exposure to fluoride can go a long way towards helping your child’s
smile grow up strong, which is why our dentists recommend using
fluoridated oral hygiene products and drinking tap water on a regular
basis. If our patients aren’t getting enough of it, though, we may
recommend additional applications here in our Bergenfield office for an
added boost. This natural mineral helps remineralize damaged enamel and
ward off cavities, especially in developing teeth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When a cavity appears, it is necessary that our dentists quickly treat the
problem because the cavity grows and results in the need for a dental
crown. In order to keep your child’s smile looking its best,
tooth-color fillings are a safe and effective solution. We will clean out
the decayed area of their tooth before using a composite resin that is
match to their natural tooth color to fill in the tooth and create an
effective seal to prevent reinfection or future damage.
We know the dentist’s office can be a scary place for young
children, which is why we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry options.
Whether it is a general checkup and cleaning or more complex procedure,
our team will determine the best method of sedation to ensure your child
is calm, relaxed, and completely comfortable during their visit.
We are pleased to accept most dental insurance providers and are experts at
helping you maximize your benefits. Believing it is important to keep out of
pocket costs low, we will work with you to help navigate your policy, file
any necessary paperwork or claims, as well as work on your behalf with your
insurance company.
CareCredit Financing
If you need additional help to pay for your child’s dental work, we
can help you apply for CareCredit financing. This third-party financier
offers low-to-no interest payment plans that allow you to budget your
family’s dental care, taking the stress off your finances and instead,
focus on what’s more important – your child’s oral health.
Smile Savings Club
Uninsured? Not to worry! With our Smile Savings Club, you can pay $25 per
month to ensure your child receives twice a year dental checkups and
cleanings as well as fluoride treatments, dental x-rays, and any emergency
visits. Should your little one require additional dental work throughout the
year, we offer discounts of up to 30%!
