Frequently asked questions
Does my child need sealants?
The back teeth (molars) tend to have grooves and ridges on their surface. These are prime spots for food debris to become stuck leading to decay. Dental sealants can smooth out the rough surface of the teeth and offer protection against cavities and decay. They are often applied to the permanent molars as soon as they erupt in a child’s mouth.
Why does my child need fluoride?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring element that makes your child’s teeth less vulnerable to acid attacks caused by plaque, bacteria, and sugar and can reverse very early decay. Professional fluoride treatments are quick and painless and can be applied during a regular checkup. These treatments contain a much higher level of fluoride than what is found in over-the-counter toothpaste and mouth rinses.
Do you offer fillings for children?
When your child has a cavity, you can count on the team at Tribeca North Dentistry to provide gentle, professional care. We will do all we can to protect the natural tooth structure and provide a stress-free experience for your young family members.
Does my child need a crown?
Crowns can be used on a child’s tooth for a variety of reasons including extensive decay, fracture or a tooth that did not develop properly. When a crown is necessary, we will work to ensure your child is comfortable.

Dr. Cheryl Poon
It was then in her General Practice Residency in Newark that she found her passion for treating children. Dr. Cheryl still fondly remembers treating a scared little girl where she was able to channel her long-lost creativity and make an appointment full of sleepy teeth, sugar bugs and princess castles. She continued on her journey to pursue her pediatric dental training at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center and served as chief resident in her second year. She is also a recipient of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry Richard C. Pugh Achievement award for scoring in the top 3% of the written boards.
In her spare time, Dr. Cheryl enjoys going to concerts, watching movies, baking and traveling the world one country at a time. She is also passionate about giving back and volunteering her time to provide dental care to underserved populations. For the past 5 years, she has become an essential part of an outreach group that travels to Guatemala annually to treat the population who otherwise has no access to dental care.
Dr. Cheryl understands that every child is special and needs tender love and care tailored to their individual needs. She takes a conservative approach to dentistry and believes that prevention is the most important goal in dentistry. She strives to give every patient a fun and positive experience to pave the way for a lifetime of happy and healthy smiles!
