About Us
Report
Upon completion of dental school at Temple University, Dr. Melini completed a pediatric residency at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. He established his first practice in Chester County. During this time, he treated the children and adolescents of many Chester and Delaware County families.
Office Policies
Report
At Pediatric Dental Associates of Glen Mills, we attempt to schedule appointments at your convenience. Preschool aged children usually are seen in the morning because they are more awake and well rested. We also add more time to the morning appointments to allow children "tell show do" time for their visits in order to make them more comfortable.
First Visit
Report
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry all recommend establishing a Dental Home for your child by their first birthday. Children with a dental home are more likely to receive proper preventive care, and routine oral health treatment.
Dental Topics
Report
Pediatric dentists care for children of all ages. From first tooth to adolescence, they help your child develop a healthy smile until they are ready to move on to a general dentist. Pediatric dentists have had 2-3 years of special training to care for young children and adolescents.
Research has shown that mothers with poor oral health may be at a greater risk of passing cavity-causing bacteria to their children, and periodontal disease can increase the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight.The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that all pregnant women continue to visit the dentist for checkups during pregnancy.

Early Orthodontics
Report
An orthodontist receives special training to fix misaligned teeth. An orthodontist must first complete regular dental training and then has an extra four years of specialty training in orthodontics. If you have misalignment in your teeth and/or jaw, a dentist will refer you to an orthodontist. As permanent teeth begin to replace baby (or primary) teeth, we recommend an orthodontic evaluation.
