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.

During their regular six-month appointment, your child will experience a gentle and thorough cleaning to help prevent cavities and promote overall oral health.

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.

When a tooth has decay, disease, trauma, or may impede normal oral development, we remove the tooth.

Sedation options are based on your child's comfort and needs. We offer nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and IV anesthesia on a case-by-case basis with a board-certified dental anesthesiologist.

We use a laser to create normal tongue function allowing a baby to latch and breastfeed efficiently. Proper function also promotes normal speech development, makes it possible for a child to self-cleanse the mouth during eating, allows adequate swallowing patterns, and provides for proper growth and development.
