Kids' dental services at our Grand Rapids office include: Children's Checkup (Exam, X-rays, Teeth Cleaning), Patient Education (Brushing and Flossing Instructions, Oral Hygiene Supplies), Fillings, Tooth Extractions, and Children's Emergency Dentistry. Dr. Boone and his staff provide children with tips on brushing and flossing their teeth while treating any current oral health issues. Our dentist and team understand how important it is to make sure kids feel welcomed, along with providing the right toothbrushes and toothpaste to use at home. Our patients are given goodie bags with these supplies and stickers after their successful dental visit!
Our Approach to Care
We go the extra mile to make your kids smile, spending one-on-one time with them at each appointment. Our goal is to meet your child's vital oral health needs, preventing the development of decay and damage to teeth, as well as to educate them and provide the necessary tools and supplies to properly care for their dental needs. We understand how important it is to make sure kids feel special and welcomed, along with providing the right toothbrushes and toothpaste to use at home. Our patients also learn the importance of becoming independent, as they are welcomed to the treatment area on their own.
Our Team
At the core of our pediatric dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your child's utmost comfort and optimal oral health. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage parent communication. Please know that we are here to provide outstanding patient care and education to your little one and that we value the trust you have placed in us.
