Pediatric Dentistry
There’s nothing a parent loves more than their child’s smile. And yet, tooth decay is the most common infectious childhood disease, affecting over 40% of children.
The first few years of your child’s life are critical for building good dental habits, preventing tooth pain, and establishing a foundation of good oral health. Our pediatric dentists offer comprehensive dental care and work with your child’s pediatrician to ensure our approach promotes your child’s total wellness.
We offer the following services in pediatrics:
- Comprehensive Exams & Diagnosis
- Fillings & Crowns for Children
- Root Canals for Children & Teens
- Sealants
- Cosmetic Procedures
- Emergency & Trauma-Related Care
- Mouthguards
- Space Maintainer
- Coordinating Care with Our Orthodontists for Braces & Invisalign
What to Expect at a Pediatric Dental Appointment
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit within six months after their first baby tooth. Most children don’t need extensive exams or treatment at that time, so we use early visits as an opportunity to create a positive experience that will help your child feel comfortable visiting the dentist.
We welcome children with medical or special needs, and all our offices are handicap accessible. Request an appointment to experience the difference of integrated pediatric dental care!
