Pediatric Dentist | Children's Dental Care

Good pediatric care changes as a child grows, and ours is planned around each stage. Here is what those stages usually involve:

1. Ages One to Three: Gentle early visits to get comfortable in the chair, a look at the first teeth, and advice on brushing.
2. Ages Four to Six: Regular check-ups and cleanings, with an eye on early decay in the baby molars and practical advice for parents on fluoride, snacks and diet.
3. Ages Six to Twelve: Adult molars arrive at the back. Sealants may be recommended, and each check-up follows how the permanent teeth are coming in.
4. Ages Twelve and Up: Orthodontic assessment, wisdom tooth monitoring, and building the hygiene habits that will carry on into adult life.
