Children’s Dentistry

Our practice loves to treat children of all ages, including infants. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that an infant’s first dental visit occur after his or her first baby teeth erupt. Performing an infant’s very first oral exam is one of the most enjoyable events in our office. From that point forward, your child should receive a regular dental cleaning and checkup every 6 months. Fluoride treatment is recommended twice a year along with the cleanings to keep teeth their strongest.

To protect the deep grooves of adult teeth and prevent cavities from forming, tooth sealants are also sometimes recommended in hard-to-reach areas like the molars. Sealants last for several years, but will be monitored at your regular checkups. We treat cavities and additional services include stainless steel crowns and simple extractions for baby teeth that are ready to come out. An evaluation will also be made for orthodontic treatment if there are signs of future problems.
