Services
Our check up appointments encompass more than "just a cleaning."
We view each check up as an opportunity to educate your family and provide your child the tools to remain cavity free.
Although check up appointments are a critical component of your child's dental care, we know that your child's home care program and habits will more likely influence his or her ability to stay cavity-free.
Therefore, we place a significant emphasis on education and help identify and eliminate potentially harmful habits.

Pediatric dentist Dr. Mirna Caldwell says "Some children by age 3 have 7 or 8 cavities and we have to take to Vanderbilt hospital and put to sleep in the O.R. because there is so much to do and that child hasn't even had those teeth in their mouth for two years."
Imagine taking your two-year-old to the dentist and being told she has one, two, even 4 or more cavities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, oral health in the United States has improved for every age group except 2-5 year olds.

Together, we can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist is a fun place where their teeth get tickled and made shiny.
Before your child's first visit to the dentist, it is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt".
At Hillsboro Pediatric Dentistry, we make sure we never use words that are frightening to the child.

A pediatric dentist has at least two additional years of training beyond dental school.
The additional training focuses on management and treatment of a child's developing teeth, child behavior, physical growth and development, and the special needs of children's dentistry.
Although either type of dentist is capable of addressing your child's oral health care needs, a pediatric dentist, his or her staff, and even the office decor are all geared to care for children and to put them at ease.
There are no hard-and-fast rules for when to start dental X-rays.
