Getting an early start with regular dental care is an important step on the road to teaching your child healthy lifetime habits. The first dental visit should occur shortly after the first tooth erupts and no later than the child's first birthday. Starting dental and oral examinations early may lead to the detection of tooth decay in stages that can easily be treated.

Adolescents have special needs. Appearance and self-image are very important to them. Decayed or poorly positioned teeth may make them more self-conscious. Teens also eat frequently, and unhealthy snack foods tend to become a major part of their regular diet. We provide a professional, sensitive and caring approach to treating teeth and teaching preventative dental health care.

An integral part of our education is concerned with the medical and dental health of the special patient. Young children with significant medical, physical or mental disabilities often present unique challenges to dentists. Our training allows us to address their special needs and provide the best care possible.

Good oral health is an important part of total health. We often work with pediatricians, other physicians and dental specialists. All children are served best through this team approach. We, the pediatric dentists, are an important part of your child's health team.
