Our Services
Pediatric Dentistry
The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist within six months after their first tooth erupts, or before the first birthday. This visit provides a great opportunity to ask your dentist whether your child’s oral health is the best it can be, and to learn a few tips and tricks to care for your child’s teeth and mouth!
Infant to Toddler
Pediatric dentists generally agree that children should have at least two dental check-ups each year, starting no later than the child’s first birthday, or as soon as the first tooth erupts.
Child to Teenager
Good dental care and oral hygiene for teenagers starts with brushing your kids’ teeth twice a day and visiting the dentist regularly from around their first birthday.
Special Needs Dentistry
We are proud to provide regular dental hygiene and restorative care for medically compromised, autistic and children with developmental disabilities.
General Anesthesia
Patients who present special challenges related to their age, behavior, medical conditions or even sensory issues may need to be treated under General Anesthesia.
