Nurture healthy smiles from the start. Pediatric dentistry provides specialized dental care for babies, children, and teens.
Wondering what’s best for your child?
We will take the time to hear your concerns, explain treatment options in clear and friendly terms, and create a care plan that fits your child’s needs.
What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry provides friendly, gentle dental care for growing smiles. From their very first tooth as a baby all the way through their teen years, we help them build confidence by focusing on education, prevention, and age-appropriate treatments to build healthy oral habits and protect their dental health. Families often choose pediatric care for well-child checkups, cavity prevention, toothaches, dental injuries, and questions about habits like thumb-sucking and pacifier use.

|---|---|

What to Expect
- Friendly, unrushed consult. We will get to know your child, review their health history, and discuss your goals and concerns.
- Kid-centric exam and photos. A gentle checkup will include low-dose digital cavity-detecting X-rays and an age-appropriate cleaning if your child is ready.
- Clear, personalized plan. We offer recommendations for regular oral hygiene at home, providing information on the appropriate timing for sealants or fluoride treatments, and any necessary treatment options.
- Comfort every step. Our kid-friendly approach includes tell-show-do, topical numbing gel, and nitrous oxide when needed. This helps dental visits remain comfortable and anxiety-free.
- Simple follow-through. We will schedule the next routine visit, provide simple aftercare tips, and always remain available for any questions that you have.
Budget & Coverage Basics
Costs depend on your child’s specific treatment needs. Most preventive care, like cleanings, exams, x-rays, and fluoride, is covered by dental insurance. We will go over your coverage and explain any possible out-of-pocket costs before any treatment begins.
Comfort, Technology, and Care
- Kind, patient care. We use a gentle, tell-show-do approach to dental visits and make sure we celebrate small achievements to build a child’s trust over time.
- Modern, low-dose imaging. Digital X-rays and an intraoral scanner (for digital impressions) ensure visits are quick and kid-friendly.
- Flexible comfort options. From distraction techniques and headphones to nitrous oxide, we customize visits to suit your child’s pace and personality.
