A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Strong Foundation
A healthy smile is such a big part of your child’s growth, from childhood all the way through their teen years and into adulthood. We know balancing family life can be tough— between work, school, and everything else, finding time for appointments isn’t easy.
That’s why we’re here to make your dental visits as smooth as possible. With flexible hours and back-to-back appointments for the whole family, we’ll work around your busy schedule.
As your child grows, they’ll reach different milestones in their dental care— from their first appointment and losing baby teeth to getting their adult teeth and eventually coming to the dentist on their own. We’re excited to be there every step of the way.

Contact us today
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 usually appear around 6 months old, and it’s best to visit the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. If you notice any discomfort, pain, or concerns about their teeth, don’t hesitate to book an appointment. Remember, it’s never too late for a child’s first dental checkup.
Baby teeth play an important role in your child’s oral health. They do more than just hold space for adult teeth— they influence how your child’s face develops, how they smile, and how confident they are when they do. Children who are encouraged to smile freely tend to keep those habits as they grow. If left untreated, even mild dental pain can negatively affect how your child chews, what foods they eat, and their overall eating habits.
The time needed for a first appointment depends on your child’s needs and comfort level during the exam. Typically, these visits last about an hour.
Kids of all ages— from toddlers to teens— should visit the dentist about as often as adults do. We recommend a checkup and cleaning every six months, unless your dentist advises otherwise. If you notice your child has a toothache, jaw pain, is rubbing their jaw, or is avoiding hard or cold foods, it’s a good idea to book an appointment sooner.
Cavities are small holes in teeth that can grow over time. They might not always cause pain or sensitivity, but it’s important to treat them early to avoid more serious issues or infections— even in baby teeth. Cavities form from bacteria and plaque and can worsen with sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Some people are simply more prone to cavities than others.
Your mouth is more than just teeth— it’s a whole system that includes gums, tongue, cheeks, bones, and more. When any part of your oral health is affected, it can impact the rest. Swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be early signs of more serious dental issues, so taking care of them is key to maintaining a healthy mouth.
We know how busy family life can be! To make things easier, we can book side-by-side appointments for everyone in your family. Just give us a call, and we’ll work around your schedule.
