Services
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age.
Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.

Our practice values each individual child, and we recognize that children with special health care needs require a dental practice that is open and understanding.
Children with special health care often experience a higher risk of oral diseases which can effect their quality of life and long term health.
Each of our patients are treated on a case by case basis with a particular emphasis on their specific needs.
Because parents and caregivers know their children better than anyone else, each visit begins by listening to the special circumstances of each child.

If the procedure was in the lower jaw, then the tongue, teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
If the procedure was in the upper jaw, then the teeth, lip and surrounding tissue will be numb or asleep.
Often, children do not understand the effects of local anesthesia, and may chew, scratch, suck, or play with the numb area.
These actions can cause minor irritations, or they can be severe enough to cause swelling and abrasions to the tissue.
Watch for darkening of traumatized teeth as this could be an indication of a dying nerve (pulp).
