Children’s Dentistry

Learning the importance of proper oral hygiene at an early age can significantly promote life-long dental health. Brushing, flossing, dietary precautions, and regular visits to the dentist, are all essential parts of a child’s life. Our children’s program promotes strong and healthy habits by reinforcing good habits and providing dental care from a young age.

Our free complimentary happy visits for children under the age of three allow your child to meet our dentists and hygienists in a friendly and non-threatening manner.

During a happy visit, a dentist or hygienist will check your child’s teeth for decay, examine your child’s bite, and scan the gums, jaw, and oral tissues for any potential problems. At subsequent dental visits, we will slowly introduce new procedures. On the second visit we will clean your child’s teeth, on the third visit we can introduce polishing, and at the fourth visit your child will be ready to receive fluoride treatments (with your permission). We recommend x-ray imaging after your child reaches their 5th birthday, but we may suggest it earlier if we notice signs of tooth decay.

Our dentists and hygienists will discuss their findings with you, go over any needed oral health care instructions, and relay any dental developmental issues they may have noticed.
