Pediatric Dentistry
Your little one has an extra special smile that is constantly changing right before your very eyes. Although every parent was once a child who played with wiggly teeth and managed to eat without the two front teeth, understanding your own child’s dental health can be confusing. You want to do what’s best for your child, making sure that their dental experiences are pleasant, comfortable, and fun. As a dental team, it’s our pleasure to partner with you in achieving the goals that you’ve set for your child in a way that’s rational and kid-friendly.
Finding the Fun in Prevention
We want your children to know that fighting dental diseases can be healthy and fun. We’ll take the time to explain the importance of brushing and flossing, drinking water, and choosing healthy snacks. We encourage our young patients to participate openly at each visit, asking questions and taking personal responsibility for their own oral health.
Is Everything Okay?
As a parent, you may be wondering if your child is progressing “normally”. You may also have questions such as:
- When should my child stop thumb-sucking or using a pacifier?
- Does my child have all of her permanent teeth?
- Will my child need braces?
- Custom Nightguards– Custom-fitted nightguards protect against grinding of the teeth (bruxism), especially while sleeping. Bruxism is most common in children.
- Extractions – Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to remove one or more permanent teeth. We may recommend extracting it and replacing it with a high-quality alternative.
You are not alone, and we welcome these and any other questions that you may have about your family’s oral health. Just ask.
