Our pediatric specialists are uniquely prepared to attend to the special oral health issues facing children from infancy through adolescence. With extensive experience and years of specialized training beyond dental school, our team helps parents and children through every phase of a child’s oral health experience.
We believe a beautifully healthy smile begins with preventive oral health care. Our approach is to combine our specialized pediatric treatment options with helping children learn and develop lifelong oral care habits.
Beginning with expectant mothers, we recommend prenatal visits to prevent any potential oral health issues, like periodontal disease, that may affect the babies future oral health. Within the first year of your child’s life, you will want to visit so we can ensure your young one is well on their way to lifelong oral health.
Lifelong oral health begins with your child learning to enjoy a trip to the dentist. With a child-oriented environment, we make it our mission to help your child feel relaxed and at ease during their visit. For certain treatments, we will work together with parents to offer relaxing and sedative options to remove any anxiety your child may be feeling.
As your child moves into adolescence, we will continue to monitor their oral health and daily care habits during their regular visits.
Some children are born with a common condition called a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) and/or a lip-tie, which results in restrictions that can create difficulty with breastfeeding, and lead to other health problems like speech and airway difficulties, dental decay, spacing, and even digestive issues.
During a procedure called a frenotomy, we use a laser light to release the frenum under the tongue or upper lip, which allows for a fuller range of motion. This procedure has very little discomfort and almost no bleeding; babies and children often sleep through the procedure. The laser also sterilizes upon touch, stimulating healing and reducing the chance of infection.
