Prevention & Treatment
Our Pediatric-Specific Approach
Thankfully modern pediatric dentistry allows us to do more than just “drill & fill.” We now have options and we base our decision to treat (or not to treat) on several factors: How big is the cavity? How wiggly is your kid? Will 6-12 more months of development make your child a rockstar in the dental chair? We want to see your child succeed, so we’ll make recommendations that will allow them to SHINE and feel proud of their success.
Prevention Planning
We keep a close eye on your child’s mouth and will only treat if necessary. Our focus is on helping parents and kids prevent things, versus treating them afterwards. You can expect:
Cleaning tips and tricks
Habits review
Diet-based prevention: meal and snack planning
Vitamin & mineral supplement counseling
Trauma risk management
Sealants (BPA-free options available)
Mouthguards
Pediatric Treatments
We offer a range of treatments to suit your goals. We’ll discuss options that set your child up for success and only do what your child can handle. If they’re not ready, we’ll wait or come up with an alternate plan.
