Healthy Smiles Start Here

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help us monitor development and establish healthy habits from the start.

Children should visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings. These visits allow us to prevent problems, monitor growth, and provide timely treatments if needed.

Baby teeth play a crucial role in speech development, chewing, and holding space for permanent teeth. Keeping them healthy helps ensure proper jaw development and alignment of adult teeth later on.

Brush your child’s teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, help them floss daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and make regular dental visits part of your routine. We’ll also guide you on age-appropriate oral care techniques at each visit.

Yes. Pediatric dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are only taken when necessary. They help us detect issues that aren’t visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth or problems below the gumline.

If your child experiences a dental emergency—such as a knocked-out tooth, broken tooth, or severe pain—contact our office right away. We provide prompt, gentle care to relieve pain and protect your child’s oral health.

Absolutely. We specialize in creating a calm, kid-friendly environment and offer techniques like gentle explanations, distraction tools, and, when appropriate, safe sedation options to help anxious children feel comfortable and secure.
