Dr. Marsha A. Gordon

Through Dr. Marsha Gordon’s dental training at the Medical College of Virginia’s School of Dentistry, she realized the joy she could bring her young patients after performing a routine cleaning and presenting them a prize for their efforts (sugar free, of course). As a result, Dr. Gordon has spent her entire career ensuring that every child receives specialized individual attention that ensures fundamental dental health. Her dedication to patient care has not gone unnoticed both locally and nationally as “Lehigh Valley’s Select Dentist” and “TopDentist.” Dr. Gordon, furthermore, continues to hold the position of Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry as well as a long-standing member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. In addition, Dr. Gordon is also the chairman of Pediatric Dentistry at Lehigh Valley Hospital Network. Beyond her private practice experience, Dr. Gordon currently aids on numerous volunteer initiatives including: the Autism Walk & dental education in local area schools. Dr. Gordon was also recently offered two prestigious grants: (1) involves a collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry with the Head Start of the Lehigh Valley; and (2) partners with the State of Pennsylvania Medical and Dental Community with a program entitled, Healthy Teeth/Healthy Children. Dr. Gordon received her Bachelor’s degree from Goucher College, her Doctorate of Dental Sciences and her certification in Pediatric Dentistry from the Medical College of Virginia. Along with her husband, David, Dr. Gordon remains a long-time resident of Allentown with three grown children: Michael, Steven, and Harris (all of whom regularly brush their teeth twice a day after years of successful encouragement from their mother).

Does your little one have a habit of biting their nails? While it may seem harmless, frequent nail biting can sometimes contribute to chipped teeth, gum irritation, and unwanted germs entering the mouth. Encouraging your child to find other ways to keep their hands busy can help break the habit!

Breakfast first, then it’s time to brush! The AAPD recommends brushing after breakfast and before bed as part of your child’s daily routine. If breakfast includes something acidic, like citrus fruit or orange juice, avoid brushing right away and give their saliva a little time to help protect the enamel. Then, brush with fluoride toothpaste, and they’ll be ready to start the day with a clean, healthy smile!

Saliva does a lot more than keep your child’s mouth from feeling dry! It helps wash away food, neutralize acids, and protect teeth throughout the day. Drinking plenty of water is one simple way to help support normal saliva production and a healthy mouth!

It’s not only what kids snack on that matters. How often they snack can make a difference, too! Each time your child eats foods containing carbohydrates or sugar, bacteria in the mouth can produce acids that affect tooth enamel. Giving their smile breaks between meals and snacks, rather than grazing throughout the day, gives saliva time to do its job and help protect their teeth!

Does your child’s toothbrush look worn out long before it’s time for a new one? Frayed or flattened bristles can sometimes be a sign that they’re brushing with more pressure than they need. A gentle touch with a soft-bristled toothbrush is enough to clean those little teeth! Show your child how to use small, gentle motions so their toothbrush and their smile get a little extra TLC.
