Tips for Parents: How to Keep Your Child’s Smile Healthy
- Start Early: Begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as they appear, and schedule their first dental visit by their first birthday.
- Make Brushing Fun: Use a toothbrush with their favorite character and play a fun song to make brushing time enjoyable.
- Lead by Example: Show your child that you take care of your teeth too—kids are more likely to brush regularly if they see you doing it.
- Regular Checkups: Bring your child in for regular checkups every six months to catch any potential issues early and reinforce good habits.
Comprehensive Pediatric Services
Protecting Little Teeth with Sealants
Sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from decay. These thin coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. Sealants provide a barrier that keeps out food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities.
Strengthening Teeth with Fluoride
Fluoride applications help strengthen your child’s teeth and make them more resistant to decay. This quick and painless treatment is a key part of our preventive care approach, helping to keep your child’s smile strong and healthy.
Fillings and Crowns for Cavities
If your child develops a cavity, our team is here to restore their tooth with a gentle touch. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend in naturally with their smile, as well as crowns to protect and strengthen teeth that are more severely affected.

Accidents happen, and when they do, you can count on us for prompt, compassionate care. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth or a sudden toothache, our same-day emergency services ensure your child gets the care they need quickly.
