ALL CHILDREN WELCOME
Medical-Grade Ear Piercing for Children in Northern Illinois
Ear piercing is a meaningful milestone for many children and how it’s done matters. At Associates in Pediatrics, we offer safe, sterile, medical-grade ear piercing performed by trained pediatric professionals in a clinical setting. Our ear piercing service is open to both current patients and new families. You don’t need to be an established patient to bring your child in for this service.
Why Choose Medical-Grade Ear Piercing?
Mall kiosks and jewelry stores may offer ear piercing, but they can’t offer what a pediatric medical office can: clinical sterility, trained professionals, and the peace of mind that comes from having your child cared for by a team that knows children.
At Associates in Pediatrics, our ear piercing is performed using single-use, sterile equipment and medical-grade jewelry. Our staff follows strict infection control protocols, and we’re equipped to answer questions about aftercare and handle any concerns that arise.

frequently asked questions
What kind of earrings do you use?
We use medical-grade, hypoallergenic earrings designed for initial piercings. These minimize the risk of allergic reaction and are appropriate for sensitive skin.
How long does healing take?
Ear lobe piercings typically heal in 6 to 8 weeks with proper aftercare. During this time, it’s important to clean the piercing as instructed and avoid removing or changing the earrings.
What aftercare is required?
We’ll walk you through aftercare instructions at the appointment. Generally, this involves cleaning the piercing twice daily with a sterile saline solution and avoiding touching the ears unnecessarily.
My child is nervous. Is that okay?
Completely normal. Our team is experienced with anxious kids and will take the time to explain each step, answer questions, and make sure your child feels as calm as possible before we begin.
