We have always seen children in our practice and enjoy them. We take very good care to make their visits as pleasant as possible and never want a child to have a negative dental experience.

We recommend seeing a child for his or her first visit at age 3. We can see the child sooner if the parent can see a problem or has a question. It is always better for a child to see a dentist before they need treatment as it leaves the child with a better memory.

Most children seem to be decay free nowadays due to fluoride in the drinking water, but they must be seen to make certain they are decay free.

It is important to keep a child’s baby teeth until they are lost naturally. By doing this they preserve the proper space that allows the permanent tooth to erupt normally.

We examine your child’s bite routinely to make certain that their teeth are in their correct position.

We do refer to pedodontists (child specialists) when we see a problem beyond our expertise, but generally find it is not necessary.
