We utilize state-of-the are technology and materials to perform the most current and advanced procedures. We do this in an effort to help every child maintain happy and healthy smiles. Establishing a positive attitude toward dental care early helps to ensure your child’s dental health success throughout their life.

We also educate our parents about good oral hygiene and how it is a very important part in the health of your child. Oral hygiene has a significant influence on the formation of cavities. When teeth are not cleaned properly and regularly, the decay-causing acids remain in the mouth and on the teeth for a long period of time, leading to enamel that is likely to be weakened and more susceptible to decay. Therefore, proper brushing and flossing is key to help prevent decay.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child/children be seen within their first year. Even though your child will not have all of his/her primary (baby) teeth in at this time, it is important for the pediatric dentist to examine your child's mouth to make sure that no problems exist or will be encountered. This visit is also aimed at educating parents and providing anticipatory guidance for the prevention of dental disease. After the first visit, your child will need to be seen at age 2 and then 3. After your child's visit at age 3, regular 6-month recall visits are encouraged. If you have any questions on the oral health of your child, please do not hesitate to call our office.
