Preventive Services
Our preventive care program includes regular examinations, professional cleanings, and personalized home care guidance. We emphasize early intervention through fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and dietary counseling to prevent tooth decay. Our team educates families on proper brushing techniques and age-appropriate oral hygiene practices.
Orthodontics
Available at three locations, our orthodontic services include comprehensive evaluations starting at age 7. We offer traditional braces, space maintainers, and early intervention treatments using digital imaging and customized treatment plans. Our specialists address bite issues, crowding, and jaw development concerns.
Sedation Services
We provide nitrous oxide for mild anxiety and IV sedation for extensive procedures or severe anxiety. Our trained anesthesiologists ensure safe sedation while our pediatric dentists perform necessary treatments, helping children complete dental work without traumatic memories.
Restorative Services
Our restorative treatments include white composite fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy for decayed teeth. We use child-friendly techniques for cosmetic bonding, tooth-colored restorations, and trauma repair. Emergency extractions are performed with appropriate pain management protocols.
Emergency Dental Care
We handle dental trauma cases including knocked-out teeth, fractures, and infections. Our team provides immediate pain relief, reimplantation procedures, and follow-up care. We maintain emergency availability for our patients outside regular office hours.
Questions
What makes a pediatric dentist different?
All our dentists are Board Certified or Eligible by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, requiring specialized training beyond general dentistry to address children's unique dental needs.
Why are baby teeth important?
Primary teeth maintain space for permanent teeth, aid in speech development, and support proper jaw growth. Early loss can lead to orthodontic issues and speech problems.
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends dental visits every 6 months starting with your child's first birthday to establish preventive care routines.
How do you handle dental anxiety in children?
We use nitrous oxide, child-friendly explanations, and gradual acclimation techniques. For severe anxiety, IV sedation is available with trained pediatric anesthesiologists monitoring treatment.
What if permanent teeth erupt behind baby teeth?
This common condition called 'shark teeth' usually resolves naturally if baby teeth loosen. If not, our dentists can safely extract retained primary teeth to allow proper alignment.
