A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation
Healthy teeth are essential for your child’s development from childhood through their teen years and beyond, but we know how challenging it can be to juggle a busy family schedule. Between work, school, and extracurricular activities, finding time for dental visits isn’t always easy.
That’s why we strive to make your family’s trips to the dentist as smooth and convenient as possible, offering flexible hours and the option to group appointments together for your convenience.
As your child grows, they’ll reach several dental milestones—starting with their first appointment, losing baby teeth, getting adult teeth, and eventually visiting the dentist independently to maintain their smile. We’re excited to support you and your child every step of the way!

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’s first teeth will typically start coming in around 6 months. It’s recommended to bring them to the dentist by the age of 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you notice any discomfort or potential issues, don’t hesitate to book an appointment earlier.
Baby teeth play an important role in your child’s oral development. They hold space for permanent teeth and influence how their face and smile develop. Dental pain, even mild discomfort, can impact their eating habits and confidence. Maintaining healthy primary teeth helps set the foundation for a healthy adult smile.
The length of the first appointment depends on your child’s needs and cooperation during the exam. Typically, it lasts about one hour.
Your child should visit the dentist as often as adults—generally every 6 months for checkups and cleanings. If your child shows signs of discomfort, such as rubbing their jaw or avoiding hard or cold foods, it’s best to schedule an appointment sooner.
Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque, often worsened by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Cavities can develop without pain but should be treated early to prevent infections or more serious issues, even in baby teeth.
Gum health is essential for overall oral health. Swollen, itchy, or bleeding gums can signal more serious problems. Healthy gums support your teeth and maintain the balance of the entire oral system.
