A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation
Healthy smiles are an essential part of your child’s development, from their early years to adulthood. We understand how busy family life can get, with work, school, and everything in between. It may sometimes feel like there’s no time to catch a break, but we want your visits to the dentist to be as smooth and effortless as possible. That’s why we offer flexible hours and can group your family’s appointments together.
As your child grows, they will reach many dental care milestones, including their first visit to the dentist, losing their baby teeth, getting their adult teeth, and eventually coming to the dentist by themselves for regular care. We’re excited to be there for every step of the way.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will start to grow their first teeth around 6 months of age. It’s recommended that children visit the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you notice any discomfort, pain, or suspect something is wrong, please schedule an appointment as soon as possible. It’s never too late for your child to have their first dental visit.
Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. These teeth do much more than just hold space for permanent teeth. They affect the appearance of your child’s face, their smile, and how often they smile. Children who feel confident and free to smile in their early years tend to carry that confidence with them. Any dental pain, even mild discomfort that children may learn to ignore, can negatively impact their eating habits. It can influence how they chew, what types of food they prefer, and how much they eat.
The length of your child’s first appointment will depend on their needs and how cooperative they are during the exam. Typically, the appointment lasts about one hour.
Your toddler, child, or teen should visit the dentist as often as you do. We recommend a checkup and cleaning every 6 months, unless otherwise advised. If your child experiences tooth or jaw pain, often rubs their jaw, avoids eating hard or cold foods, or seems to be uncomfortable, please schedule an appointment sooner.
A cavity is a hole in the tooth that can grow larger over time. It may or may not cause pain or sensitivity, but it’s important to treat cavities early before they become more serious or cause infection, even in baby teeth. Cavities are caused by bacteria and plaque, and sugary or acidic foods and drinks can make the problem worse. Some children may be more prone to cavities than others.
Your mouth is not just about your teeth. It includes your gums, tongue, cheeks, ligaments, joints, and more. If one part of your oral health suffers, the entire mouth can be affected. Swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be an early sign of a more serious issue, so it’s important to address any gum problems as soon as possible.
We understand how busy family life can be! We can schedule multiple appointments side by side for your entire family. Please give us a call, and we will be happy to accommodate you.
