Dentistry for Children

Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.

Good oral health is an important part of total health. When helping children, we often work with pediatricians, other physicians and dental specialists. All young people are served best through this team approach. We, the pediatric dentists, are an important part of your child’s health team.

Some young patients fear going to the dentist. They may have heard that the dental office is unpleasant or scary, leading to stress and anxiety. We do everything in our power to disprove that worry. Our offices have been designed for patient comfort, including televisions in the exam areas and play areas where the children and their siblings can enjoy themselves. Before we start any procedure, we talk with our patients about what is going to happen and reassure them that there will be absolutely no pain.
