Our sedation methods can help calm restlessness and anxiety, making sure your child gets the dental care they need without fear or stress.

We know that your child being happy and healthy is the most important, and when they get little bumps in the road, it can be scary! If your little one is in need of a solution for damaged or decayed teeth, pediatric dental crowns are here to save the day. Our pediatric dental crowns, made from a strong and flexible hybrid resin polymer, are designed to protect and restore with durability in mind.

When it comes to restoring your child's smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary focus is to preserve and restore damaged teeth through various treatments. However, in some cases, tooth extractions become the best option to get your child's smile back on track. Rest assured, we prioritize your child's comfort and use gentle techniques and sedation options to make the extraction process quick and pain-free. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!

As your child grows, their baby teeth are destined to fall out to make room for their adult counterparts. But when they fall out too early, it can heighten the risk for orthodontic complications later on. We want your child to thrive, which is why we offer space maintenance, a solution that keeps your child's teeth from shifting and having misalignment issues as they erupt. If you are concerned about your child's baby teeth falling out, we can help them get a lifetime of healthy smiles.

If you're struggling with breastfeeding, a frenectomy might be the solution you've been searching for. A frenectomy is a simple and painless surgical procedure that can improve the quality of life for both you and your baby. It involves removing excess tissue in the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is tight or restrictive, it can limit your baby's mobility and hinder their ability to latch properly during breastfeeding. By undergoing a frenectomy, you can enhance your baby's feeding experience, promote better milk transfer, and alleviate discomfort for both you and your little one. Rest assured, this procedure is relatively quick and has a high success rate, providing a straightforward solution to a complex breastfeeding challenge.

We want every child to feel welcome and every parent to feel assured that their kid is in capable hands. When you come to our practice, you can rest easy knowing we have knowledge and expertise in helping children with special needs. For kids with special healthcare needs, we are equipped in providing the care they need. Get in touch today to see how we can accommodate you.

Building a strong foundation for healthy oral habits will establish your child's dental routine for their entire lives. With our educational, compassionate care, we are here to give your child the guidance they need to have healthy dental hygiene that will stick with them for a lifetime.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a baby should see a dentist within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by age one. These early visits are essential for ensuring your child's teeth are developing properly. During these appointments, we'll also inform you of proper hygiene techniques to keep that little smile strong and healthy, along with nutritional guidance to keep cavities at bay.

Keeping your child's smile protected is our number one priority! One of the many ways we accomplish this goal is by providing fluoride varnish treatments. Fluoride varnish is a safe treatment that can prevent tooth decay in baby teeth. It is quickly applied by your child's dentist and then can be brushed off after 4 to 12 hours.
