Pediatric Dentistry

If your child has more than 1 tooth or is at least 1 years old, it may be time to see a dentist! A healthy smile starts with the right dental care at a young age. We know that their first experiences in a dental setting will significantly influence the way they view and practices oral health in the future. It’s important that your child has a comfortable experience early on so they aren’t afraid or anxious about going to the dentist in the future.

HOW DO WE DO IT: 

• We provide gentle care in a warm setting. 

• We work to avoid stirring up any unnecessary fears or anxiety that may prevent your child from seeking future treatments.

• We listen to all of your concerns while guiding you through this new process. 

CLEANING AND PREVENTION

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advocates that parents should schedule a dental visit for their child within six months of the first tooth breaking through or by the age of one. 

Rest assured that we will help your child age with healthy oral hygiene from infancy to adulthood by:

• Scheduling semi-annual checkups which, include dental exams, cleaning, and x-rays that will anticipate and quickly treat and incoming issues. 

• Establishing healthy habits to prevent cavities and foster clean gums.
