Our pediatric dental team is committed to caring for your child's smile for many years. We love to watch our patients' smiles grow from little to big, whether we're teaching a toddler how to brush her baby teeth or fitting a little leaguer for his first athletic mouthguard. We encourage kids to get interested and involved during their visits because we truly believe that long-term oral health is a team effort.
It's never too early to start!

Oral health is just as important as maintaining a pleasing smile.
Brushing and flossing at least twice a day, ensures this and keeps the harmful oral bacteria from multiplying quickly.
Along with optimum oral hygiene at home, it is essential to visit the dentist for routine consultations at least once every six months to get the teeth and other oral tissues examined.
Kids' dental visits are a family affair, so we welcome parents back into the treatment area if they feel nervous.
After the visit is over, our dentist will thoroughly discuss their findings with you, along with recommendations for treatment and long-term maintenance.

A limited Problem-focused dental exam is a type of emergency exam in which the dentist will diagnose any specific acute problem in your child's mouth instead of evaluating the whole dental system.
During this examination, the dentist will look for any of these issues virtually and might even go with a detailed examination using X-rays or other dental equipment to examine the area that isn't visible with naked eyes.
Depending on these results, the dentist will recommend the right treatment for your child or schedule a follow-up visit to complete the whole procedure.

Your dental provider may recommend your child see Dr. Barnes for treatment that is best accomplished in a pediatric dental office.

Dr. Barnes will review the referral and x-rays sent from your dental provider, as well as the health history you provide as part of our new patient paperwork, before determining the treatment plan and most appropriate treatment modality.
We will then schedule the necessary treatment as a separate appointment.
