Pediatric Dentistry (Children)
We specialize in helping to make children of all ages feel comfortable and calm when they visit us — we can even make it fun! We will help you and your child understand the best ways to keep his or her teeth clean.
What you can expect
- Your child should come for a visit by his or her first birthday, or when the first teeth appear.
- Regular check ups begin at about age two and a half, once all the primary teeth have come in, we recommend coming back every six months.
- As your child gets older, we can support his or her oral health along the way, whether that includes accidents, braces, wisdom teeth concerns , or any other need.
