Welcome to Pelican Pediatrics, where we make ear piercing safe, fun, and special for your child! Our expert team takes great care to ensure the procedure is sanitary and comfortable from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ear piercing work?
Our Pelican Pediatrics team begins by marking the perfect spots, applying a gentle numbing cream, and thoroughly sterilizing your child’s earlobes. Using a medical-grade device, we quickly and comfortably insert hypoallergenic, pre-approved starter studs made of surgical steel. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and painless as possible!
When should I get my child’s ears pierced?
It’s entirely up to you! We offer ear piercings for babies as young as two months old. However, if your child is younger than two months, please contact us to arrange a consultation. Many families choose to wait until their child is older and ready for aftercare, often around age 10. We’re here to support you in making the best choice for your family!
How do I care for my child’s new ear piercing?
We’ll provide simple, thorough aftercare instructions to keep those new earrings clean and healthy. Clean daily with our provided solution, rotate the earrings gently, and keep the starter studs in for six weeks. And remember, we’re here for any questions you may have along the way!
How can I tell if my child’s ear piercing is healing well?
If there’s minor redness, that’s normal! However, if you notice swelling, discharge, or discomfort, give us a call. Our team is ready to help make sure your child’s ears heal smoothly.
Call Pelican Pediatrics today to schedule your child’s ear-piercing appointment. We’re so excited to be a part of this wonderful occasion!
