Start Your Child Off Right With Kid-Friendly Dentistry

Your child’s baby teeth play a crucial role in their overall oral health. Though temporary, these teeth set the stage for proper development of permanent teeth.

Starting good dental habits early is key. Experts recommend bringing your child for their first dental check-up within 6 months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday.

This initial visit serves multiple purposes:

  • We’ll get to know you and your child.
  • We’ll examine and count their teeth.
  • We may perform a gentle cleaning.
  • We’ll guide you on proper at-home dental care.

We’ll also discuss nutrition, feeding practices, and habits like thumb sucking to help prevent dental and gum issues.

By prioritizing dental health from an early age, you’re setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

As part of our pediatric dental care, your children can take advantage of as they get older, consisting of:

  • General Dental Care – Regular cleanings and exams allow us to prevent, find, and treat small problems.
  • Preventative Dentistry – Fluoride treatments and dental sealers are additional services that prevent tooth decay and protect your children’s smiles.
  • Restorative Dentistry – You can come here for tooth fillings, silver diamine fluoride, and pediatric crowns to make repairs for your kid’s teeth if needed.
  • Emergency Dental Care – We strive to provide same-day emergency care to ease your child’s pain and put your mind at ease.

Our dental professionals have years of experience helping patients of all ages maintain their healthy smiles and to achieve their smile goals. We do all we can so you and your loved ones can feel as comfortable as possible when you visit us. Also, ask about our in-house membership plan, which can make dental care more accessible.
