Infant Exams
It’s recommended that you bring your child in for a visit within six months of the first tooth’s eruption – usually around their first birthday. Both parents and staff feel the same thing—a sense of happiness upon entering the space. Since decay can occur in even the smallest of teeth, the earlier your baby visits us, the more likely he or she is to avoid problems. We’ll look for any signs of early problems with your baby’s oral health, and check-in with you about the best way to care for your little one’s teeth. Remember that spending time with our patients and preparing for each dental visit with a positive attitude goes a long way toward making your child comfortable with regular checkups.
Dental Hygiene for Babies, Kids, and Teens
We are committed to helping your children achieve optimal oral health. During routine visits, we perform examinations to check for cavities and other dental problems, professional hygiene procedures to remove plaque and tartar, apply fluoride, and take digital x-rays based on the needs of the patient. This integrated approach eliminates the need for appointments at different offices. Instead of scheduling multiple appointments at different offices, patients can have both types of appointments on the same day. This approach minimizes the need for patients to visit different offices, thereby enhancing their overall experience and efficiency in managing their oral health.
Fillings and Crowns
Baby teeth are important for eating, speaking, appearance, and holding space for the developing adult teeth. They are crucial to your child’s overall growth, development, and well-being. Combining pediatric dental care with orthodontics can create a smoother and more comfortable experience for patients. This integration helps streamline treatment, reducing the number of visits needed. If left untreated, cavities can result in pain, infections, swelling, and damage to the adult teeth. We treat cavities using white fillings, stainless steel (metal) crowns, and zirconia (white ceramic) crowns. This approach reduces the number of visits needed and creates a more efficient and comfortable experience for patients.
Sealants
After a thorough examination, our dental team may recommend sealants as an effective way to protect your child’s permanent molars from decay. Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the deep grooves and chewing surfaces of back teeth—areas where cavities are most likely to form.
This quick, safe, and non-invasive procedure is completely painless and well-tolerated by children. Once applied, the sealant acts as a barrier, preventing food and bacteria from settling into hard-to-clean areas. It’s an excellent preventive measure that can significantly reduce the risk of cavities during the cavity-prone years of childhood and adolescence.
Sealants are especially beneficial for kids with newly erupted adult molars and those at higher risk of tooth decay. They’re a smart, proactive investment in your child’s oral health – and can help avoid the need for fillings or more complex treatments down the road.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe and effective treatment used to slow down or stop the progression of dental cavities, especially in young or anxious children. This liquid solution is brushed directly onto the cavity to kill bacteria, strengthen the tooth, and prevent further decay – without drilling or needles.
SDF is an excellent choice for:
-
Children who are not yet ready for more involved dental procedures
-
Kids with special healthcare needs
-
Situations where treatment needs to be delayed
-
Managing multiple cavities in a non-invasive way
The application is quick, painless, and well tolerated by most children. While it does darken the decayed area of the tooth (a sign that the cavity has been arrested), this trade-off is often preferable to more complex procedures – especially in baby teeth.
SDF can be a helpful tool in your child’s overall care plan, giving families more flexibility and time before considering advanced restorative treatments.

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful—for kids and parents alike. That’s why we prioritize same-day treatment for urgent issues whenever possible. Our experienced team is equipped to handle a full range of pediatric and orthodontic emergencies, including severe toothaches, dental infections, broken brackets, trauma from falls or sports injuries, swelling, and abscesses.
