Services
When you trust our practice with your child's oral healthcare, you can be sure that they are receiving care from their dentist and not a team of dentists unfamiliar with the nuances of their treatment requirements.
That's because Dr. Choi is the only dentist practicing in our office.
Dr. Choi takes the time to see each of his patients individually, which better serves them and builds a positive relationship that helps your child achieve a healthy smile that lasts a life time.
We provide comprehensive pediatric orthodontic and dental care designed to give your child a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
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.
For more information concerning pediatric dentistry, please visit the website for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an orthodontic screening for children by the age of 7 years.
At age 7 the teeth and jaws are developed enough so that the dentist or orthodontist can see if there will be any serious bite problems in the future.
Most of the time treatment is not necessary at age 7, but it gives the parents and dentist time to watch the development of the patient and decide on the best mode of treatment.
When you have time on your side you can plan ahead and prevent the formation of serious problems.
Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen - or what you may know as laughing gas - to relax them for their dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax without putting them to sleep.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recognizes this technique as a very safe, effective technique for treating children's dental needs.
The gas is mild, easily taken, and it is quickly eliminated from the body and it is non-addictive.
