We recommend a first visit by age one or 6 months after 1st tooth erupts.

For patients under 3 years of age, the first couple visits are going to be mostly parent education, what they should and should not be doing as far as brushing, diet, etc. We do a quick exam, the child sits on their parent's lap, and we apply a fluoride treatment.

The American Dental Association recommends being seen by your dentist every 6 months. These 6-month increments are especially important for children. From the time your child’s first tooth erupts through the gum, they should be seeing a dentist.

The name “Fluoride” sounds like a scary, man-made additive, but it is actually a very natural substance. Fluoride is the ionized form of fluorine, an abundant element commonly found in nature and the earth’s very crust. It is not added to our drinking water, but rather picked up through rocks and minerals as the water passes through various soils during the filtration process.

With the use of modern technology, wearing thyroid-blocking aprons, and safe x-ray taking practices, it’s never been safer to have dental radiographs taken.

Kids can sometimes be a little wiggly in the dentist chair. Especially when they need a filling, crown, or tooth extraction. While we try to create the best experience possible, sometimes a visit to the dentist is still overwhelming for children. Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, helps take a lot of that anxiety away.

Canker sores are a common condition that affects many children. They are small, painful ulcers that develop inside the mouth, on the tongue, and on the lips. Although canker sores can be quite uncomfortable, they are not contagious, and they usually go away on their own within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Oral health is an essential aspect of overall health, and it's vital to maintain good dental hygiene from a young age. As parents, it's our responsibility to ensure that our children receive the best possible dental care. While general dentists can provide dental care for children, kids are often recommended to see a pediatric dentist due to their specialized training and expertise.
