Dentistry for Children

If your child has more than 1 tooth or is at least 1 years old, it may be time to see a dentist! A healthy smile starts with the right dental care at a young age. We know that their first experiences in a dental setting will significantly influence the way they view and practices oral health in the future.

It’s important that your child has a comfortable experience early on so they aren’t afraid or anxious about going to the dentist in the future.

CLEANING AND PREVENTION

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advocates that parents should schedule a dental visit for their child within six months of the first tooth breaking through or by the age of one. Rest assured that we will help your child age with healthy oral hygiene from infancy to adulthood by:

• Scheduling semi-annual checkups which, include dental exams, cleaning and x-rays that will anticipate and quickly treat and incoming issues. 
• Establishing healthy habits to prevent cavities and foster clean gums. 
• Working to help phase out unhealthy habits like thumb sucking. 
• Finding out what additional treatments are necessary preventative methods your child may need such as fluoride or sealants.
