What are our child-friendly services?
We care for patients of all age groups, from infants to teens. Our goal is to treat your child holistically through the following therapies.
- Dental exams: We routinely examine your child’s teeth and gums for signs of decay, infections, misalignment, etc. Pediatric exams also allow us to monitor your child’s oral growth and development.
- Dental cleanings: Our gentle teeth cleanings remove built-in plaque and tartar for an issue-free smile.
- Dental sealants and fluoride treatments: We help your child fight cavities and tooth decay with safe and effective sealants and fluoride treatments.
- Orthodontics: Orthodontic evaluations for children identify issues early on and take proactive measures before the problems progress.
- Restorative dentistry: We provide pediatric fillings, crowns, and other therapeutic procedures to repair damaged smiles.
- In-office sedation: We always want your child to have a positive experience in our office. If they have dental anxiety and fear, we offer safe sedation dental care to keep your little one at ease.
We understand caring for your child’s smile differs from adult dentistry. We care for little teeth and gums in a comfortable, fun, and safe environment. Our team is trained to keep your young one at ease.
Moreover, our office features video games, toys, a movie theater room, and a treehouse play structure to create a fun, home-like atmosphere. We want your child to love dentistry because developing good oral habits from a tender age sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Why does pediatric dental care matter?
Dentists recommend your child visit a dentist within six months after the first tooth erupts but not later than one year. “Why should we care for baby teeth if they eventually fall out?” Pediatric dentistry offers the following benefits.
- Early detection of oral issues
- It prevents gum disease and decay
- It keeps your child’s smile healthy and beautiful
- Caring for baby teeth paves the way for healthy, permanent teeth
- Building comfort and trust with the dentist
Pediatric dental visits offer a valuable lesson for you. We’ll teach you the best practices for caring for your child’s teeth and gums at home. Furthermore, we’ll talk about seemingly innocuous actions that can hurt your child’s smile, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and baby bottle overuse. These visits also present an excellent opportunity to ask the dentist all you need to know about caring for your child’s smile.
