Family Care & Treatments

Dental Care For Children

While we do not consider ourselves pediatric specialists, we do see entire families. Children are welcome in our offices starting at about age 3. We can begin doing dental cleanings and offering fluoride varnishes at this age. Read on to learn more about our preventive services. Getting your child in to see the dentist at an early age is essential in ensuring their lifelong good dental health. We can help educate your child early and observe them as they develop to catch any dental abnormalities or other issues. Beginning regular dental visits early is also key to helping them avoid the development of dental anxiety later in life. These are just some of the many benefits of having your young child visit the dentist! Preventive Services We offer a variety of preventive services for patients of all ages. These services include:

• Fluoride treatments and varnishes. Great for kids and adults alike. Will help strengthen enamel and protect against sensitivity, cavities, and general decay.
• Cleanings and exams. An important part of what we do. We want to make sure your entire family has a clean, disease-free, and decay-free smile!
• Used to prevent damage from grinding, clenching, and sports accidents. Ask one of our doctors if a custom-made mouthguard is right for you or your child.
• Nutritional counseling. What you consume makes a huge impact on your oral health. Stay informed so that you can guide your family’s diet and nutritional habits.

Dental Sedation

To help our nervous patients, we offer two different types of dental sedation: nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. While we use oral sedation for more complicated procedures or very fearful patients, nitrous oxide is safe for all ages of patients and is great for nervous kids! If you have little ones who are anxious about visiting the dentist, don’t fear — this fast-acting “laughing gas” will have your child worry-free in no time!
