We have gone to Dentistry for Kids since my son was a baby, and our experience has always been positive. Today was his first day going back all by himself, and every single person was so warm and made him feel so safe so he didn’t even hesitate! He had so much fun at the dentist (definitely goes against the usual stigma haha) and loved feeling like a champ for having no cavities. The dental assistant and dentist were both so nice and helpful, like not just saying that – actually above and beyond! They even took a picture! Love that my son loves going to the dentist! I wish I could go here as an adult 😂
Give Your Child a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
Many parents think baby teeth are not very important since they will fall out later. But these small teeth actually help guide where the permanent teeth will grow. They hold the right spots, so adult teeth can come in straight and healthy.
Starting pediatric dental visits early gives your child the best chance for good oral health throughout their life. We recommend bringing your child in when their first tooth appears, or before they turn one year old.
During your child’s first visit, we work hard to make everyone feel relaxed and welcome. Our team will gently look at your child’s mouth and count any teeth that have grown in. We might do a light cleaning if your child feels okay with it. The most important part is teaching you simple ways to take care of your child’s teeth at home.
We will also talk about food choices and habits that can change how teeth grow. Some things kids do, like sucking their thumb for a long time or using a pacifier too much, can affect how their teeth come in. We help you know what to watch for and when you might need to make changes.
When you make your child’s mouth health a priority from the start, you give them skills they will use their whole life. The good habits they learn when they are young become natural as they get older.
As your child grows, we offer many services to keep their mouth healthy:
- Preventive Care – Regular cleanings and checkups that find small problems early, plus fluoride treatments and sealants that stop cavities before they start.
- Restorative Care – We handle fillings, treatments for hurt teeth, and small crowns made just for children when repairs are needed.
- Emergency Care – Same day visits when your child has tooth pain or gets hurt, so you don’t have to worry.
Our team has many years of experience working with children of all ages, and we love helping patients with special needs. We know how to make visits calm and even fun. We also have a membership plan that makes dental care easier to afford for families.
