Preventive Oral Hygiene Instruction:
Preventing dental disease is our highest priority. Teaching your child how to keep a healthy smile through proper brushing, flossing, eating habits, supplements, and sealants can ensure a lifetime of smiles. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment where children can learn about the importance of good oral hygiene.
Restorative Dentistry:
Where we can’t prevent disease, we can work to correct the damage it has done. Restoring teeth to a healthy and functional state can include fillings, crowns, or maintaining space where a tooth has been lost. We are committed to answering questions and discussing treatment options that optimize your child’s health and experience in the office.
Sedation Dentistry:
For some children with significant anxiety about dental treatment or extensive dental needs, sedation can make treatment more comfortable. Our office offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia when necessary.
Special Needs Patients:
We treat individuals with special health care needs through adulthood. If you are the parent or guardian of someone with disabilities, you’ll appreciate our goal is to support you and treat your child’s needs with skill and compassion. We can help put your child on the path of good oral health with a preventative dental care plan customized to fit his or her needs.
Emergency Treatment:
We understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary. We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion. Please call our office if your child experiences a dental emergency.
