What’s Included in Children’s Dental Care?
Pediatric dental care focuses on prevention, early intervention, and education. Our dentists and hygienists tailor every visit to your child’s age and comfort level, ensuring they get the care they need in a way they can understand.
Our children’s dentistry services include:
- Routine dental exams and cleanings
- Digital X-rays with low radiation exposure
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Protective dental sealants for cavity prevention
- Tooth-colored dental fillings for treating decay
- Monitoring of dental growth, development, and alignment
- Guidance on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
- Sedation options for anxious or special needs children
- Emergency dental care for trauma, toothaches, or accidents
If orthodontic concerns arise, we’ll coordinate care or recommend early treatment options such as Invisalign or braces, depending on your child’s age and case complexity.
Why Start Dental Visits Early?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by age one or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help us:
- Detect issues before they become more serious
- Establish a “dental home” for your child
- Educate parents on effective home care techniques
- Help children feel safe and comfortable at the dentist
- Reduce the risk of dental anxiety later in life
By starting early, your child can avoid common issues like cavities, enamel defects, and poor bite development.
Our family dentistry team is trained to meet children at their level, using positive reinforcement and simple language to make dental care easy to understand and even fun.
Creating Positive Experiences at the Dentist
Our team, including Dr. Hardy, Dr. Webster, and Dr. Flores, treats every child with warmth, patience, and respect. We never rush appointments and always allow time for questions, reassurance, and education.
We use modern technology like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to show kids (and parents) what’s happening with their teeth in real time. This helps take the mystery out of dentistry and makes kids active participants in their own care.
You can count on us to:
- Provide gentle, age-appropriate care
- Offer treatment options only when necessary
- Use non-threatening language and visuals
- Build trust through consistency and transparency
Our goal is to help your child develop positive feelings toward dental visits—and to make every trip to our office something they look forward to.
