Glacier Grins Pediatric Dentistry

At Glacier Grins Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing the best dental care for your child. Our team understands that parents want the best for their kids, and that's why we strive to create a dental home that is welcoming, comfortable, and tailored to your child's needs. We believe that healthy living starts at home, and that's why we emphasize the importance of establishing a dental home by a child's first birthday. Our team is highly trained and skilled in behavioral management and children's oral health issues, ensuring that your child receives the best possible care.

Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

Pediatric dentists are specialists in children's oral health. They have an additional two to three years of training beyond dental school, making them uniquely qualified to care for children's teeth and gums. Pediatric dentists are also trained in behavioral management techniques, which helps children feel comfortable and secure during their dental visits. Choosing a pediatric dentist for your child's dental care helps ensure that they receive the best possible care and sets them up for a lifetime of good oral health habits.

Establishing a Dental Home

Establishing a dental home by a child's first birthday is essential for good oral health. Studies have shown that children who have a dental home are more likely to receive regular dental care, have better oral health, and are less likely to have dental anxiety. At Glacier Grins Pediatric Dentistry, we work with parents to establish a dental home that meets their child's unique needs. We take the time to get to know your child, answer any questions you may have, and provide a positive and enjoyable dental experience.

At What Age Should My Child First Visit the Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. This early dental visit helps establish a dental home for your child, allowing us to monitor their oral health and provide preventive care. During your child's first visit, we will examine their teeth and gums, provide a cleaning, and discuss oral health habits and nutrition with you.

Dental Topics: Tooth Tidbits

At Glacier Grins Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in educating our patients and their parents about oral health. That's why we provide regular "Tooth Tidbits" on our website and social media pages. These tidbits cover a range of topics, from brushing and flossing techniques to the importance of a healthy diet and preventing dental injuries. We want to empower our patients and their parents with the knowledge they need to maintain good oral health for a lifetime.
