Convenient Access from Jacobstown
One county road, Route 528, links Jacobstown with Dental Arts Group in New Egypt, and the drive takes about 5 minutes. Parents who need a dentist near Jacobstown can bring the whole family to one office for checkups, cleanings, fillings and root canal care. Our two general dentists see children, teens and adults, from a child's checkup to a grandparent's crown.
Start at the North Hanover Township Municipal Building at 41 Schoolhouse Road, the village's civic center, and drive east on Schoolhouse Road. Turn right onto Chesterfield-Jacobstown Road (County Route 528), which soon becomes Jacobstown-New Egypt Road and runs east through farm country into New Egypt. Near town the same road takes the name Jacobstown Road, and the office at 4 Jacobstown Rd sits a few hundred feet before its junction with Main Street and Maple Avenue. Expect roughly 3 miles, and open our location on Google Maps for directions from your own street.
Families in nearby Cookstown and Wrightstown make similarly short trips, and Chesterfield sits farther north along the same Route 528.
Family Dentistry for the Jacobstown Community
Jacobstown is a crossroads village of homes and farms in North Hanover Township, a rural Burlington County township inside the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve. The village is named for Jacob Andrew, a Quaker settler, and today it is the township's civic hub. The municipal building, the police department and the municipal court all sit on Schoolhouse Road, and details on local services are posted on the North Hanover Township website.
Two of the township's public schools are here as well. Clarence B. Lamb Elementary School teaches children from pre-K through fourth grade, and the North Hanover Township Upper Elementary School covers fifth and sixth grades. Older students go on to the Northern Burlington County Regional middle and high schools.
North Hanover itself was incorporated on April 12, 1905, and much of it is still open farmland. County Routes 528 and 537 are the township's two main roads, and Route 528 runs straight through the center of Jacobstown on its way east to New Egypt. That simple geography is what keeps the trip to our office so short.
With that many young students in one small village, school-age dental care is a big part of life in Jacobstown. Our team sees children as well as adults, and parents get clear guidance on care they can follow at home. Adults are welcome on the same trip, which saves a second drive down Route 528.
Keeping Jacobstown Kids' Teeth Healthy
Most childhood cavities start in the deep grooves of back teeth and in the spaces kids miss with a toothbrush. Regular cleanings remove the buildup that brushing leaves behind, and the checkup gives our dentists a chance to spot soft enamel before it turns into a cavity. Sealants cover the grooves on chewing surfaces, and in-office fluoride varnish after a cleaning helps strengthen enamel for children, teens and patients in braces.
Good habits at home matter just as much. Our patient education resources cover brushing technique, flossing, bad breath, tooth anatomy and sealants in plain language, which makes them useful for parents teaching younger children. A two-minute brushing routine, flossing once a day and water instead of sugary drinks between meals go a long way.
When decay does reach a baby tooth's nerve, saving the tooth still matters, because primary teeth hold space for the adult teeth coming in behind them. Our endodontics team performs pulpotomy and pulpectomy treatment for children's primary teeth. Treating the problem early can spare a child pain and protect the alignment of the permanent teeth that follow.
Parents who are new to the practice can start with the DAG Comprehensive Exam for themselves. It reviews your health history and goals, takes digital x-rays and intraoral photos, screens for oral cancer and gum disease, and checks every tooth for cavities under magnification. It also includes an insurance breakdown, which makes it easier to budget for the whole family's care.
Parents in Jacobstown also plan around the school calendar. Monday and Tuesday appointments run until 5:00 PM and Wednesday stays open until 6:00 PM, so a checkup can often follow the school day. Thursday opens at 8:00 AM for families who prefer an early start before class.
Services From Your Dentist Near Jacobstown
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Checkups, cleanings, digital x-rays and sealants keep Jacobstown children ahead of decay. Fluoride varnish after a cleaning helps young enamel and suits kids in braces. Adults get the same preventive care, including an oral cancer screening.
Cavity Repair
When a cavity does form, tooth-colored composite fillings repair it without a metal look. Teeth with larger breaks can be rebuilt with digital ceramic crowns. Fixing a small cavity early keeps the repair simple.
Endodontics
Pulpotomy and pulpectomy treat infected baby teeth so they can keep holding space. For teens and adults, root canal therapy and retreatment relieve severe toothaches and swelling. Our in-house endodontists handle this care inside the practice.
Invisalign®
Older teens and adults can straighten teeth with SmartTrack clear aligners instead of brackets. An iTero scanner takes digital impressions without putty trays. Aligners change about every two weeks and are worn at least 22 hours a day.
A child who grows up with the same dental team tends to feel at ease in the chair, and that comfort pays off when bigger treatment comes along in the teen years. Our goal for every Jacobstown family is simple: steady prevention for the kids, prompt repairs when something breaks, and a practice that parents can trust for their own care too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Jacobstown, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 3 miles and 5 minutes from the North Hanover Township Municipal Building. Head east on Schoolhouse Road, turn right onto Chesterfield-Jacobstown Road and stay on County Route 528 as it becomes Jacobstown-New Egypt Road and Jacobstown Road. For a dentist near Jacobstown, it is one straight county road with no highway driving.
How do sealants protect a child's back teeth?
Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They fill the deep grooves where food and bacteria collect and where a toothbrush has trouble reaching. Placing them is quick and needs no drilling or numbing, and our dentists check them at routine visits to make sure they are still intact.
Which weekday has the latest appointments for school-age kids?
Wednesday has the latest appointments, with the office open until 6:00 PM. Monday and Tuesday run until 5:00 PM, and Thursday closes at 4:00 PM. Booking a Wednesday slot a few weeks ahead is the easiest way to fit a cleaning in after class without taking your child out of school.
How can I help my child brush better at home?
Brush together twice a day for two minutes, using small circles along the gumline and a pea-sized dab of toothpaste. Most young children need a parent's help until their coordination improves. Our hygienists can demonstrate the technique during a cleaning, and our patient education pages explain brushing, flossing and sealants in plain language.
Will my PPO plan cover my children's checkups?
Coverage depends on your plan, but Dental Arts Group is in network with many PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna and Horizon BCBS. The office does not take HMO, DMO, Medicaid or Medicare plans. Our team reviews your benefits and explains any costs before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
