We understand that choosing a dental practice for your child can be quite an anxiety-filled experience.

Fortunately, we offer a comprehensive selection of adult care as well as services geared specifically toward the unique needs of your little one. Learn more, so you feel empowered and excited about your child’s smile journey.

When You Should Schedule A Pediatric Visit

Bringing your child in to see a pediatric specialist early in life is very important in creating an appreciation for dental care. To make this solid foundation, we encourage you to schedule your child’s first appointment by the time he or she reaches the age of one – or when your child’s first tooth breaks through the gum tissue. Early cleanings and checkups promote a lifetime of healthy, successfully developed teeth for a beautiful smile.

Pediatric Treatment Options

In addition to offering comfortable, compassionate care, we strive to provide the treatments that your children need to enjoy long-term oral health. It is important to remember that your child is still learning how to properly care for his or her teeth. While your son or daughter masters these techniques, your pediatric specialist may suggest the following treatments for additional preventive care:

  • Dental Sealants: These are invisible to your eye and create a physical barrier over back teeth to prevent tooth decay.
  • Fluoride Treatments: This is a treatment that provides minerals to teeth, which protects against the loss of minerals that leads to cavity formation.
