Specialized pediatric dental care, dedicated to treating children from infancy until adolescence.
Our specialized pediatric dentist, highly trained team and welcoming office provide a positive and stress-free dental experience to children and parents alike.
Infant Care
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first dental visit of your child as soon as the first tooth appears or no later than his/her first birthday. This short and easy visit entails cleaning your child’s teeth, offering guidance on your child’s oral health and applying fluoride to his/her teeth in some cases.

First Dental Checkup
Depending on your child’s age, this visit may include a full exam of the teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues to check growth and development.
What to expect on your child's first visit:
- Making your child feel comfortable with the dentist, staff and office environment
- Education on brushing and flossing
- Answering your questions on diet and positive oral habits
- Dental cleaning and clinical exam
- Dental x-rays (if indicated)
- Reviewing treatment (if necessary)
Preventive Dentistry
Our primary goal to protect your child’s teeth and prevent problems before they occur. This begins by teaching your child how to clean their teeth effectively by demonstrating how to brush and floss if necessary. Additionally, we implement other preventive treatments recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
Preventive Treatments:
- Regular Exams and Cleanings
- Professional Fluoride Treatment
- Fissure Sealants
- Sports Mouth Guard
Restorative Dentistry
In spite of everyone’s best efforts, your child’s teeth may need to be restored or removed because of cavities or trauma. Our conservative approach prioritizes preserving the teeth as much as possible.
We offer the following restorative options:
- Dental Fillings
- Nerve Treatments
- White Crowns
- Stainless Steel Crowns
- Space Maintainers
Emergency Dental Care
Whether your child is experiencing dental pain or has a dental injury we are here to help.
Examples of Dental Emergencies:
- Dental Pain
- Dental Infections
- Oral or Facial Swellings

Sedation Dentistry
Our pediatric dentist and dental team are dedicated to treating your child in a friendly and stress-free environment. Dental anxiety, however, is very common among children and in some cases we may suggest sedation in order to effectively manage your child’s anxiety and provide necessary dental treatment safely and effectively.
Sedation Options:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
- General Anesthesia
Special Needs Dentistry
Our specialized dentists and staff are trained and experienced in treating children with physical and/or developmental needs. This includes behavioral management, sedation dentistry if necessary and collaboration with the orthodontist to ensure timely and effective treatment.
