We strive for excellence in everything we do and are committed to making your child's first dental visit a fun and comfortable one. We understand the importance of establishing a good oral hygiene regimen early in a child's life, and we provide children with the necessary knowledge and treatment to maintain a healthy smile. Our practice strives to make this new journey for your child a healthy, positive and rewarding experience.
Parents are welcome during treatment and become participants in the development of healthy dental habits that will last a lifetime. Just as a pediatrician develops special talents, skills and knowledge for working with children, a pediatric dentist more effectively care for the dental needs of young people. Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both preventive and therapeutic dental care for infants, children and adolescents.

What is dental caries?
Dental caries is an infectious disease process that causes tooth decay or "cavities."
If untreated, caries can lead to severe pain, local infection, tooth loss, and even serious systemic infections.
Babies typically are inoculated or "catch" dental caries from their parents.
For this reason, it is important that parents attend to their own dental needs, striving to have excellent dental hygiene and, therefore, helping to prevent problems with their children's teeth.
Here is what is happening in your child's mouth: Teeth, which are primarily made of minerals, are in a constant state of back-and-forth de-mineralization and re-mineralization.
