Children's Dentistry


Establishing a relationship with a dentist for your child within 6 months of the first tooth eruption, or by his/her first birthday, is an important step to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles. Additionally, children often have different needs than adults, making it important to find a dentist who understands children.

Early childhood screenings include:

Evaluation of eruption and growth patterns to see how the teeth are growing into the mouth

Education for parents on proper care for the child's teeth and gums

Dietary counseling, including discussion on proper foods and beverages

Individualized preventive dental health program based on risk for decay and gum disease

Education on what to do in a dental emergency
