Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits help parents with home care techniques, allow the dentist to monitor development, and build a positive association with dental care from the start.
Do you see children even though you are not a pediatric-only office?
Yes. Our team has extensive experience with children from toddlers through teens. Patients specifically choose us because their children, including kids who previously had difficult dental experiences elsewhere, leave happy. Multiple grandparents have brought their grandchildren along with them for the same visit.
My child has special needs or sensory sensitivities. Can you accommodate them?
Yes. We have patients with autism and other sensory needs who are regular patients. Our team adapts the pace, communication style, and sensory environment to each child. Please call ahead and describe your child’s specific needs so we can prepare appropriately and allow enough time.
What services do you offer for children?
Pediatric services include routine cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, early orthodontic evaluation, the HealthyStart(R) System for airway and jaw development concerns, and fillings when needed. Our goal is to prevent problems before they develop and keep kids comfortable and confident at every visit.
