Pedodontics, or children's dentistry, refers to dental care for kid's. It is important to take care of a child’s first teeth, their primary teeth, because they aid in speech development, allow food to be properly chewed, and maintain space for permanent teeth. It is also important to develop good oral hygiene and healthy lifelong dental habits from a young age. Early visits to a pediatric dentist help establish a dental home where your child can enjoy a positive experience and build the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Routine oral exams are recommended every six (6) months to prevent cavities and other potential issues. Dental x-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool used to identify decay, extra teeth, bone defects, tumors, cysts and check the progress of previous procedures. Our dental professionals focus on catching early signs of concern so your child's teeth stay healthy throughout every stage of development.

Routine cleanings help keep gums healthy and teeth cavity-free. A dental cleaning includes removal of tartar and plaque and polishing of the teeth to remove stains and prevent further buildup of plaque. Regular dental visits play an important role in maintaining your child's oral health and keeping their smile bright.

Dental sealants are made of a safe resin material which is applied to the surfaces of teeth (commonly permanent back teeth such as molars) to prevent cavities. The sealant material fills in the deep groves and crevices of a tooth and “seals” off the tooth from cavity-causing agents like food and plaque. The teeth are prepared for the sealant application and the sealant is painted directly onto the chewing surface of each tooth and then hardens. Sealants are applied in one visit. In most cases, sealants are a simple and effective way to help protect healthy teeth.

Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are administered at this office as an important component of pediatric dental treatment. The fluoride is applied to the teeth in a gel, foam, or varnish form. Our team can also explain the benefits of fluoride toothpaste and proper brushing habits to help parents support good oral health at home.

Custom-fitted mouth guards from your dentist are preferable to cheaper products available from a store. Many school athletic programs require participants to wear a mouth guard. Athletes who are wearing braces will particularly benefit from a custom-fitted mouthguard. We offer a comprehensive range of dental services for the whole family, from babies to teens and beyond.

The American Dental Association recommends that a child's first visit to the dentist occur by their first birthday, or when the first tooth appears. These early dental visits help our team provide personalized care and ensure your child's oral health is on the right track.
