Office of Dr. Lisa Yarborough and Dr. Michelle Skierkowski, Board Certified Pediatric Dentists, serving the areas of Tualatin, Oregon and the surrounding cities of Portland, Tigard and Lake Oswego. We focus on the individual needs of each child to create and maintain healthy smiles and healthy kids. We provide specialized care for infants, children and teens in a warm and compassionate environment and are dedicated to walking alongside you in establishing healthy habits.
My family loves Dr Lisa. She has seen my kids since they were little. They get so excited to go to the dentist since her staff makes it such a good experience for little ones. I just recently brought my 2 year old daughter in for her 1st dental appointment. I was very impressed with how pleasant and professional everyone was. My daughter has some sensory issues (coupled with acid reflux and issues with eating and swallowing.)
Dr. Lisa (and her assistant) were fantastic! Dr. Lisa took ample time to have a comprehensive discussion with me regarding my daughter's complex health history and my personal concerns.

Hundreds of strains of bacteria thrive in the warm, moist environment of the mouth.
Some are beneficial, but others are harmful to teeth and gums.
They form a sticky film of plaque that traps molecules of food.
Bacteria are living organisms.
They feast on sugars and starches in the plaque, then excrete toxins that irritate gums and acids that erode important minerals in tooth enamel.
Saliva naturally contains calcium and phosphate that allows tooth enamel to repair itself.
Supplemental fluoride helps to prevent the attack of acids and the resulting loss of minerals.

Supplemental fluoride helps to prevent the attack of acids and the resulting loss of minerals.
For this reason, the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association believe that topical fluoride is necessary for good oral health.
Because of this, you may be wondering if your child needs fluoride treatments.
Often water is enhanced with fluoride, so additional fluoride treatments are not necessary.
However, if your water is not enhanced with fluoride, your child may need fluoride treatments.
Your child may also need a fluoride treatment if he or she has symptoms like receding gums.
