My 1st visit was for a broken tooth last year and I couldn’t have been happier with the friendliness and urgency to get me worked in, evaluated, and scheduled for the repair/crown. I broke another tooth before Christmas and the service was just a great with the repair/crown being completed this year. I have had mine and a kids teeth cleaned with great service as well.

Common Questions We Hear

When should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first infant oral exam by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help detect potential issues and establish good oral hygiene habits.

How often should my child see the dentist?

Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months for routine dental cleanings and exams. Regular visits help prevent cavities, monitor tooth development, and keep their smile healthy.

Are baby teeth really that important?

Yes! Baby teeth help with speech development, chewing, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Keeping them healthy reduces the risk of decay and future dental issues.

What can I do to prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?

Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits are key. Preventive treatments like fluoride treatments and dental sealants can also help protect their teeth from decay.
