Pain-Free Children’s Dentistry in a Fun, Comforting Environment
As your child gets older, giving their smile the attention it deserves becomes increasingly essential. After all, the moment their teeth begin to erupt, they can begin to develop cavities. That’s where our highly trained dentists come in. Not only will our dentists perform in-depth examinations to ensure no problems are present with your child’s oral health, but they will go the extra mile to make them feel comfortable and calm every time they visit.

Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings for Kids
When your child arrives for their initial appointment, our main goal is to help them acclimate to the dental office and the idea of regular visits. This way, performing specific services like checkups and cleanings becomes easier. Once they get comfortable, we’ll carefully examine their mouth and confirm there are no underlying problems. We will follow that up with a detailed, gentle dental cleaning that works to remove plaque or tartar that gets easily missed during routine at-home care.
Dental Sealants
As your child gets used to practicing brushing and flossing at home, there’s a reasonable chance that they miss specific areas that are more cavity-prone than others. In most cases, this refers to the molars and premolars, two types of teeth with deep pits and cracks for food debris and bacteria to get stuck in. Dental sealants are made from composite resin and are designed to provide additional protection to vulnerable teeth, particularly during the early stages of development.
Fluoride Treatments
Your child’s teeth need all the protection they can get, especially as they get used to practicing oral care regularly. This makes fluoride therapy all the more important and is exactly why we recommend it during every routine checkup. Depending on your child’s risk of tooth decay, we can perform fluoride treatments anywhere between two and four times a year. Thankfully, applying fluoride takes just a few minutes and is 100% painless.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
While we do everything we can to prevent cavities from developing, sometimes they can still find their way into your child’s teeth, despite the best preventive habits. If your child has a cavity, they won’t have to receive amalgam fillings you may have previously. Instead, we use tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin. By opting for metal-free materials, we can retain more of your child’s natural tooth and reduce the risk of the filling fracturing their tooth further.
Athletic Mouthguards
Do you or your child participate in sports? A mouthguard can help protect the teeth from injury due to unseen collisions, and rather than getting a generic, uncomfortable one from the store, we can provide you with a completely custom-made mouthguard right in our dental office. It’ll be much more comfortable AND do a better job defending your smile so that you can avoid an emergency dentistry visit in the future.
