Children's Dental Services

We believe a child's first visit to a dentist should begin at about two years of age. At this age, healthy, positive attitudes towards regular dental visits and proper hygiene habits can begin to be shaped. Good, enjoyable dental visits early on, can help benefit a person throughout their lives.

Our office has a play area with fun toys and L.C.D T.V's which help create a fun, enjoyable environment for children.

Fluoride Treatments:

We reccomend regular fluoride treatments for chlidren and young adults up to the age of 21.

Sealants:

A thin protective layer of resin is bonded onto the biting surfaces (pit and fissures) of back teeth. Sealants provide a barrier against acids, which cause cavities. Anethesia and drilling are not required. Sealants can provide many years of protection.

Custom Athletic Mouth Guards

Custom athletic mouthguards are designed specifically for an individual's mouth. They are required to prevent trauma and concussion during athletic activities.
