X-rays are a valuable tool in the examination process allowing the dentist to not only detect and prevent cavities, but also monitor oral disease, manage and evaluate trauma, and monitor the development of teeth.
In addition, X-rays help monitor the progress of past dental therapy that may have been completed.
Even though x-rays are low in radiation, every effort is made to minimize the amount of radiation exposure.
Images are taken every 6 months - 18 months, depending on each child's individual circumstances and needs.

Sealants are thin protective coatings that are applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth.
They form a barrier between your tooth and any bacteria and plaque in the mouth, and can last for up to three years.
Not only can sealants help to prevent cavities, but they can help to prevent deep staining.
Sealants are ideal for both pediatric and adult patients who need an extra layer of protection from cavities.
Sealants are used to prevent further tooth decay.
After a child's permanent teeth grow in, they have an elevated risk of developing cavities.

While brushing and flossing are incredibly beneficial to the health of your teeth, what you eat and drink on a regular basis can contribute to dental problems.
A diet full of sugar and carbs can lead to tooth decay, and late night snacking can create problems with both cavities and gum disease.
We offer nutritional counseling to help shine a light onto your current diet and changes that you can make to improve your eating habits.
This counseling is available to all of our patients regardless of age, gender or weight.

Peak Pediatric Dentistry is amazing; from the front desk, to the hygienists,to Dr. Dixon they are absolutely wonderful, and so good with the kids. They explain everything not just to the parents, but to the children as well helping to ease any fears the child may have. The office is so clean yet so kid friendly and welcoming. Just overall a great experience every-time we have an appointment. I highly recommend.

We absolutely love Dr Chris and his entire staff! We have tried several pediatric dentists in the area over the course of our time here and this one has been the best ! They meet my kids where they’re at and are focused on the kids getting the best experience possible out of the dentist ! The waiting room is equipped with helpful iPads to entertain the kids while they wait too! Office is clean and well kept ! Run very thoroughly and everything seems so organized !
