Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care, early intervention, and comprehensive treatment for children aged 1-18. We create customized care plans that address each child's unique needs while educating families about proper oral hygiene practices. Our approach combines child-friendly techniques with advanced dental technology to ensure comfortable, positive experiences that establish lifelong dental habits.
Emergency Care
We provide urgent dental care for traumatic injuries, toothaches, and other oral emergencies requiring immediate attention. Our team offers clear guidance for at-home care before appointments and specialized treatment protocols for both baby and permanent teeth. Emergency services prioritize pain relief, infection prevention, and preserving dental health through timely interventions.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options include nitrous oxide and general anesthesia for patients requiring additional comfort measures during dental procedures. We carefully evaluate each child's needs to determine appropriate sedation methods while providing detailed pre- and post-operative instructions. This service enables successful treatment for anxious patients, those with special needs, or children undergoing extensive dental work.
Solea Laser Dentistry
The Solea laser system allows us to perform many dental procedures without traditional drills or anesthesia. This technology enables painless cavity treatment, soft tissue procedures, and frenectomies with minimal bleeding and faster healing times. Patients benefit from reduced anxiety, no numbness after treatment, and immediate return to normal activities following procedures.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) offers a non-invasive solution for managing tooth decay in young children or patients unable to tolerate traditional restorative treatments. This FDA-approved treatment halts cavity progression while providing sensitivity relief. We apply SDF during routine visits with reapplication every six months until conventional restoration becomes feasible.

Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit by age one or when the first tooth erupts. Early visits establish good oral health habits and prevent future dental issues.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
Contact our office immediately for urgent care. For knocked-out permanent teeth, keep the tooth moist and seek treatment within 30 minutes. We provide specific instructions for different emergency situations during after-hours calls.
Do you offer sedation options for anxious children?
Yes, we provide nitrous oxide and general anesthesia options. Our team evaluates each child's needs to determine the safest, most effective sedation method while explaining all pre- and post-procedure requirements to parents.
How does Silver Diamine Fluoride work for cavities?
SDF stops cavity progression through antimicrobial action. Applied topically, it strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity without requiring drilling. Treated areas may darken but can be restored later with fillings or crowns.
What makes your practice special for children?
We combine advanced technology like Solea laser dentistry with child-friendly techniques to create positive experiences. Our team specializes in pediatric care, offering tailored treatment plans, special needs accommodations, and comprehensive patient education for families.
