“Absolutely Amazing experience!”
Absolutely amazing experience! My youngest has some special needs and was terrified. They allowed him to hold a mirror and "assist," with big brother's exam. They calmed his fears and for the first time in six years had his own exam without tears!
Their first dental appointment
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday to ensure all is progressing well.
By visiting before a child’s turns one, we can treat early dental disease and observe the jaws for proper growth and development. Plus, an early visit helps familiarize kids with the dentist so they feel at ease here.
During the first visit, we’ll address issues like:
Healthy airway growth and development for proper eating, breathing, and sleeping.
The health impact of pacifiers, finger sucking, sippy cups, snacking, and the shape and size of the maxillary arch.
Foods that promote good chewing habits.
Jaw development, facial growth, tongue placement, and other issues that can lead to behavioral and health concerns.
Interceptive orthopedic and orthodontic treatments available in conjunction with myofunctional therapists and ENTs.
Pediatric Dental Treatments
Healthy Smile Habits (Preventative Dentistry)
As your child grows, we focus on prevention and education to ensure their smile remains healthy. Our goal is to help children learn and develop consistent oral hygiene habits.
Prophylaxis
(Teeth Cleaning)
During their regular six-month appointment, your child will experience a gentle and thorough cleaning to help prevent cavities and promote overall oral health.
Tooth Colored Fillings
When necessary, we use composite fillings with a tooth-colored resin to fill in cavities. As a result, fillings blend in naturally.

A plastic coating can be professionally applied to prevent cavities by sealing the chewing surfaces. Dental sealants are easy to apply and provide years of protection.

If you are unsure if the pain your child is experiencing requires immediate attention, please call us.

(Baby Root Canal)
Designed to remove nerves from the infected pulp of a tooth, a root canal eliminates infection and pain while also reducing the chance of future infection.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
FDA approved and recommended by the World Health Organization, we use silver diamine fluoride to aid in the management and prevention of oral health issues.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth has decay, disease, trauma, or may impede normal oral development, we remove the tooth.
Early Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment helps maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional and aesthetic result that will remain stable throughout your life.
Phase One
The goal of phase one treatment is to help the jaw develop in a way that will accommodate all of the permanent teeth and improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
phase three
In this resting phase, the remaining permanent teeth are left alone as they erupt.
Phase Two
The goal of the second phase is to make sure each tooth has an exact location in the mouth where it is in harmony with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other teeth. When this equilibrium is established, the teeth will function together properly. Phase two usually involves full upper and lower braces.
