Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include oral health assessments, gum evaluations, and personalized hygiene guidance. We focus on building trust through gentle examinations while monitoring dental development. Each visit includes educational components for parents about at-home care and preventive strategies.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options including oral sedation and nitrous oxide to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Our board-certified dentist specializes in behavior management techniques for anxious patients. This service allows complex dental work to be completed with minimal stress for both children and parents.
BPA-Free Sealants
Protective dental sealants are applied to children's molars to prevent tooth decay. We use BPA-free materials that create barriers against plaque and acids. This quick, painless procedure offers long-lasting protection while being safe for developing teeth.
Invisalign Treatment
We provide Invisalign clear aligners for children aged seven and older. Custom-made aligners gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. The removable design allows normal eating and cleaning while achieving beautiful, healthy smiles through advanced orthodontic technology.
Emergency Dental Care
24/7 emergency dental services handle traumatic injuries, toothaches, and infections. Our team provides immediate care for knocked-out teeth, facial trauma, and dental pain. We offer same-day appointments and guidance for home care before office visits to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.

Questions
Why is flossing important for children's dental health?
Flossing removes bacterial plaque between teeth that brushing can't reach. Untreated plaque buildup causes decay between teeth over time.
How long should children brush their teeth?
Children should brush for 2-3 minutes twice daily. Using a mechanical toothbrush with a timer helps ensure proper brushing duration.
What toothpaste should children use?
Choose any brand containing fluoride. Select flavors that children enjoy to encourage consistent brushing habits.
How to handle dental emergencies after hours?
Call 907-713-4033 for 24/7 emergency dental care. For severe injuries beyond the mouth, contact 911 or visit the emergency room.
What causes tooth sensitivity in children?
Cold sensitivity can result from gum recession, tooth abrasions, metal restorations, or decay. Treatments include fluoride applications or desensitizing toothpastes.
How does Invisalign work for children?
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Children wear each set for 1-2 weeks, removing them for eating and cleaning while achieving proper dental alignment.
