Children’s Dental Services

First Appointment

In your child’s first appointment, we’ll make sure they’re calm and teach them what they need to know for a lifetime of good dental habits.

Oral Exams

We’ll carefully examine your child’s teeth to check for any cavities, gum problems, or oral diseases.

Teeth Cleaning

Cleaning your child’s teeth is a standard part of every appointment to help prevent cavities and other oral health problems.

X-Rays

When necessary, we’ll take x-rays of your child’s teeth and interpret the results to evaluate your child’s oral health.

Monitor Growth

We’ll keep an eye on your child’s teeth and jaw as they grow and develop to predict any problems that may arise.

Education

We’ll help to teach your child good oral health habits to set an early foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

Create Treatment Plans

If your child has cavities, gum disease, misaligned teeth, or another oral health problem, we’ll formulate a treatment plan.

Orthodontics

If your child’s teeth need to be straightened, we’ll create a plan with you for orthodontal teeth correction with braces.

Sedation and Anesthesia

Some procedures require sedation or anesthesia, which we can perform on your child as needed.

Emergency Dental Treatment

Whether it’s a toothache or a chipped tooth, we offer emergency services to quickly treat any urgent dental issues your child may have.

Making Children Comfortable

Frankly, you can’t provide top-quality dental care to a nervous, skittish, or terrified kid. When children are uncomfortable, they’ll fight tooth and nail (pun intended) when they hear the dreaded word “dentist.” As you can guess, this doesn’t make for a pleasant or effective visit. We’re well-versed in the fine art of making children comfortable and keeping them entertained. When all else fails, we’ve got TVs in the ceilings to entertain them while we work.

Laughing gas

We focus on treating all our little ones with patience and compassion, helping to establish trust and mitigate their worries. In extreme cases, we can administer nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, so that they can still receive the oral care they need without the extra stress.

Meeting children’s dental needs

Since children’s mouths are still developing, they have specific needs. We provide preventative care and regular services like fillings, but we also know what to look for when it comes to the development and structure issues that necessitate orthodontics.

Orthodontics

In many cases, correcting orthodontic conditions early can save on treatment later and ensure that your child’s smile stays healthy and beautiful.

Wisdom teeth

We’re also diligent in inspecting wisdom teeth and making any needed recommendations for treatment, which we can also provide in the office. While wisdom teeth get a bad rap, they don’t always have to be removed. If we recommend removal, we’ll run you and your teenager through the options. If we think they don’t need to be removed, we can help keep wisdom teeth healthy and problem-free.

Building good habits for life

Developing good daily oral care habits like brushing and flossing will inevitably have a huge impact on your child’s development. That’s why we place utmost importance on helping to educate children – and parents – on proper daily care routines. This way, they’re set up for a lifetime of pearly whites, confident smiles, and as little time in a dentist’s chair as possible. We’d say that’s a success for everyone.
