A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation
Healthy smiles play a big role in your child’s development, from their early years through their teenage years and into adulthood. However, juggling a busy family lifestyle with work, school, and other commitments can make it challenging to find time for dental care.
We strive to make your trips to the dentist as smooth and effortless as possible. Our flexible hours and grouped appointments are designed to accommodate your busy family schedule.
Throughout your child’s development, they’ll reach key dental milestones like their first appointment, losing baby teeth, and getting adult teeth. Eventually, they’ll start visiting the dentist on their own. We’re here to support them through all these stages.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will typically start cutting their first teeth around 6 months of age. It is advisable to schedule a dental visit by the time they turn 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. If you notice any issues or if your child seems to be in discomfort or pain, please book an appointment right away. It’s never too late for their first dental check-up.
Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. They do more than simply hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth. Baby teeth play a crucial role in shaping a child’s facial structure, influencing how they smile and how often they smile. Developing confidence and a big, joyful smile early in life can create lasting positive habits. On the other hand, dental pain, even mild pain that children might learn to normalize, can have a lasting negative impact on their eating habits, including how they chew, the types of food they prefer, and how much they eat.
The duration of your child’s first appointment will vary based on their individual needs and how cooperative they are during the exam. Generally, you can expect the appointment to last about one hour.
It’s important for your toddler, child, or teen to visit the dentist regularly, just like you. We suggest scheduling a checkup and cleaning every six months unless otherwise recommended. If your child complains of a tooth or jaw ache, frequently rubs their jaw, or avoids hard or cold foods, it’s best to book an appointment sooner.
Cavities are holes in the teeth that grow larger over time. They may not always cause pain or sensitivity, but it’s crucial to treat them before they become more serious or lead to infection, even in baby teeth. Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque and are worsened by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Some people are naturally more susceptible to cavities than others.
Your mouth is more than just your teeth; it’s a complex system that includes your tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, bones, and more. When one part of this system suffers, it affects your entire mouth. Swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be early indicators of more serious problems, making gum health essential for overall oral health.
We know how busy family life can be! We can schedule multiple appointments side-by-side to accommodate your entire family. Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to arrange everything for you.
