Family-Friendly Dental Care

We provide specialized dental care tailored to children—from their first tooth through adolescence. Early visits help prevent cavities, detect developmental concerns and establish healthy habits. Preventive treatments like fluoride and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) protect growing smiles without invasive procedures. Pediatric dental visits promote good oral health habits.

Process

First Visit Evaluation: We recommend your child’s first dental visit by age one. During this gentle introduction, we’ll check for early signs of tooth decay, assess oral development and answer any questions you may have.

Routine Preventive Care: At each checkup, we provide age-appropriate cleanings, monitor dental growth and apply fluoride varnish when needed. We may also recommend silver diamine fluoride (SDF) if early-stage cavities are detected.

Oral Hygiene Education: We teach kids and parents how to brush and floss effectively at home. Our team provides dietary guidance and tips to reduce cavity risk.

Monitoring Growth & Development: As your child grows, we track changes in bite alignment, tooth eruption and jaw development—referring to orthodontics when appropriate.

FAQ

  • At what age should my child first visit the dentist?

    The first dental visit should occur by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting.

  • How can I help my child prevent cavities?

    Encourage twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, a balanced diet, limited sugar intake and routine dental checkups.

  • What are silver diamine fluoride and fluoride treatments?

    Fluoride strengthens enamel to prevent decay, while silver diamine fluoride painlessly halts early-stage cavities and protects the tooth.
