We offer more frequent "happy visits" for you and your child to become more comfortable us our office and staff.

Dental caries (the scientific term for tooth decay or cavities) is the most prevalent disease in children, affecting up to 56% of children aged 6-8 years old.
Luckily, preventative measures that begin early in life have been shown to greatly reduce the number of cavities in children.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or their first tooth coming in, whichever comes first!
After your initial visit, we will determine the next steps to help your children prevent cavities and to build healthy oral hygiene habits.

Our mouths have several bands of tissue called frenums.
When there is an abnormal development of those frenums, a tethered oral tissue (TOT) occurs.
These are often known as tongue ties (ankyloglossia) and lip ties.
If left untreated, these ties can result in restrictions in movement that can cause significant difficulty with breastfeeding, and in some instances, other health problems like dental decay or spacing, speech difficulties, and digestive issues.
A frenectomy is a procedure that releases the frenum.
