We recommend you bring your child for a check-up visit every 6 months. This allows us to closely monitor your child’s growth and development, offer preventive treatment strategies, and helps us catch any potential problems quickly

Yes! Fluoride is a well studied, natural mineral that prevents cavities and strengthens tooth structure. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a smear (grain of rice) of fluoridated toothpaste with the eruption of the first tooth.

Pediatric dentists undergo additional education beyond dental school focusing on child development, behavior management techniques, and managing anxieties common in young children. These two extra years of specialized training empower pediatric dentists to handle the developmental stages and behaviors of young patients - infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. As the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry puts it - we are the “experts on little teeth”. This training not only makes us more prepared for complex dental needs, but also prepared to put your child at ease in a fun, comforting environment. 

Other benefits of choosing a pediatric dentist to care for your child include a focus on preventive treatments, the skillset to handle trauma and emergency situations, minimally invasive treatment options, treatment under nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and general anesthesia when deemed necessary, and an office setting that is made specifically with kids in mind.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and American Academy of Pediatrics agree that children should establish their dental home and receive comprehensive care at age 1 or within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth.

Dental sealants help protect back teeth by covering the deep grooves. These grooves often trap food and plaque, making cavities more likely. The procedure is a simple process that helps reduce the risk of cavities.
