Bring Your Child In If…

Kids don't always say when something hurts.

  • Their first tooth has come in, or they're 6 months old
  • It's been six months since their last checkup
  • They have a toothache or a sensitive tooth
  • They play sports and need a mouthguard
  • A tongue-tie makes breastfeeding hard

Common Questions About Dental Care for Kids

When should my child first see the dentist?

It’s a good idea to bring your child in once their first teeth come in. Early visits help your child get comfortable with the dentist. Call the office nearest you and we’ll help you schedule.

Are you a pediatric dentist?

We’re a family dental practice that cares for patients of all ages, including children. Your whole family can see the same team at one office.

How often should my child get a checkup?

Most kids should have a cleaning and checkup every six months. Your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your child’s needs.

What if my child is nervous?

That’s completely normal. Our team is patient and gentle, and we explain everything in a kid-friendly way. A trip to the prize box at the end helps, too!

What age should a child see a pediatric dentist?

Kids should see a dentist when their first tooth comes in or by their first birthday. We see kids as young as 6 months old. Book your child's first visit at the office nearest you.

What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a general dentist?

A pediatric dentist focuses only on children. We're a family dental practice that sees kids from 6 months old, along with parents and teens, so your whole family can use one friendly team.

What do dentists do for kids?

We do gentle checkups and cleanings, check for cavities and watch how new teeth come in. We also offer fluoride, sealants and mouthguards, and can look at tongue-ties that make feeding hard. Kids pick a prize at the end of their visit.

What are dental sealants for kids?

A sealant is a thin protective coating placed on the chewing surface of back teeth to help keep cavities out. Ask your child's dentist whether sealants are right for your child.

Can a dentist fix baby teeth?

Yes. Baby teeth can have cavities too, and your dentist can treat them. Healthy baby teeth help your child chew and hold space for adult teeth. Call us if your child has a toothache or white or brown spots.

Can my whole family come at the same time?

Yes. You can book appointments for everyone in one time block, so the whole family is done in one trip.
