A Bright Beginning

Your Child's First Dental Visit

The American Dental Association recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or as soon as their first tooth appears. Early checkups play an important role in monitoring the growth of teeth and jaws, preventing cavities in young children, and helping kids feel comfortable in a dental setting.

These visits also give parents valuable guidance on how to care for their child’s smile at home. If your child hasn’t had their first appointment yet, now is the perfect time to schedule a consultation.

Healthy Habits for Healthy Smiles

Preventative Pediatric Dentistry

Good oral health starts with preventive care. Our pediatric services are designed to keep your child’s smile strong and healthy.

Routine Exams & Professional Cleanings

Regular dental checkups are essential for spotting and stopping problems early. At each visit, our team gently cleans and polishes your child’s teeth, checks for cavities, gum disease, and bite alignment concerns, and takes digital X-rays when needed for a complete evaluation. We also provide personalized tips to help your child maintain great oral hygiene at home.

Fluoride Protection

To strengthen tooth enamel and lower the risk of cavities, we apply fluoride during routine cleanings. This naturally occurring mineral works by remineralizing the teeth and reducing harmful bacteria that contribute to decay. For most children, applying fluoride twice a year is an excellent way to safeguard their growing smiles.

Dental Sealants

Molars are especially vulnerable to decay because of their deep grooves, which can be difficult for kids to clean properly. Sealants provide an extra layer of protection by coating these back teeth, making them easier to keep clean and less likely to develop cavities. Sealants are a simple, effective way to protect your child’s teeth for years to come.

Comfortable, Kid-Friendly Solutions

Pediatric Dental Restorations

If your child develops a cavity or experiences a dental injury, our team offers gentle, kid-friendly restorative treatments to repair damage and protect their teeth.

Natural-Looking Fillings

Cavities are common in children. They can be effectively treated with tooth-colored fillings. These restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth, restoring strength and function.

Protective Pediatric Crowns

When decay or damage is more extensive, a pediatric crown may be recommended. Crowns provide long-lasting protection, helping to preserve the tooth and prevent future problems.

Space Maintainers

If a baby tooth is lost earlier than expected, a space maintainer can be placed to hold the proper gap. This prevents surrounding teeth from shifting and ensures there’s enough room for permanent teeth to come in correctly.

On-Call for Kids

Emergency Pediatric Dentistry Services

Accidents and dental problems can happen without warning, which is why our team is ready to provide same-day emergency treatment for kids. Common pediatric dental emergencies may include severe tooth pain, chipped or knocked-out teeth, lost or broken crowns or fillings, and injuries to the gums or mouth. If your child experiences any of these issues, call us right away. We’ll make sure they get the prompt care they need to relieve discomfort and protect their smile.

Spotting Alignment Issues Early

Early Orthodontic Screenings

Early orthodontic evaluations allow us to detect and manage potential concerns before full braces are needed. Around age seven, we recommend an exam to review jaw development and bite alignment, giving us insight into whether your child may benefit from orthodontic treatment in the future. Taking these steps early can often reduce the need for more complex procedures later.

Partnering With Parents

Helping Your Child Keep Their Teeth Healthy

Helping children establish proper oral hygiene habits early sets the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Brushing should begin as soon as the first tooth appears, using a soft-bristled brush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste. Making dental care fun, such as letting kids choose a colorful toothbrush or listening to music while they brush, helps them look forward to the routine. Parents can also set the tone by brushing and flossing alongside their children, showing them the importance of daily care.

Regular dental checkups every six months ensure professional cleanings and allow the dentist to monitor growth, prevent problems, and keep young smiles strong. Schedule your child's first checkup when their first tooth emerges, or by their first birthday.

Pediatric DentistryFrequently Asked Questions

Do cavities in baby teeth really need treatment?

Yes. Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, untreated cavities can cause pain, infection, and difficulty with eating or speaking. Primary teeth also act as guides for adult teeth, so keeping them healthy is essential for proper alignment.

How can I help my child feel at ease during dental visits?

Starting dental visits early helps children become comfortable with the experience. Parents can play a big role too, staying calm, using positive language, and avoiding words that might create fear. Choosing a pediatric-focused dental team also ensures a kid-friendly, stress-free environment.

What if my child is nervous about dental care?

Many children feel anxious at first, but our gentle, patient-centered approach helps ease those worries. For children with stronger dental anxiety, we can provide mild sedation to keep them relaxed and comfortable throughout treatment.

At what age should my child begin flossing?

Flossing should start as soon as two teeth touch. During your child’s appointment, we’ll demonstrate proper flossing techniques so they can learn good habits early on.

How often does my child need dental checkups?

Most children should see the dentist every six months for cleanings and exams. However, kids who are at higher risk for cavities may need visits more frequently to keep their smiles healthy.
