Oh wow, the most darling pediatric dentist! You walk in and it screams kids! I felt like I was in Disney world! And every single person who works there is equally as kind and lovely. We loved Dr. Martin and our dental hygienist Jessica! This is a wonderful pediatric dentist and they came very recommend - I can definitely see why! I loved that I could go back and sit next to my 3 year old for her office visit - not all offices let you do that! They treated us very kindly and I am just really grateful we found them!"

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you, as a parent, to feel like you’re actively participating in your child’s dental care. As such, we encourage you to ask questions whenever you pay our office a visit, and you can always reach out to us if there’s anything you want to know. Of course, there’s no better time to start learning than the present, so feel free to check the following FAQs, where we’ve addressed some of the questions that many parents tend to have about pediatric dental care.

While some general dentists will accept patients of all ages, a pediatric dentist specifically specializes in providing high-quality dental care for children. Both kinds of dentists need to attend dental school to achieve a dental degree, but upon graduation, pediatric dentists also need to complete two or three years of further training.

You can generally expect a pediatric dentist to be more experienced working with kids, which means having a better idea of how to talk to them and keep them calm in the dental chair. Additionally, pediatric dentists have studied special skills and techniques specifically for treating young patients. In short, choosing a pediatric dentist could ultimately make a big difference for your child’s smile.

Ideally, your child’s very first dental visit should take place either within six months of the appearance of their first baby tooth or by the time they turn one year old – whichever comes first. By making regular dental appointments a part of your child’s life as early as possible, you can significantly reduce their risk of developing a cavity. The longer you wait to see the dentist, the more likely your child is to suffer from tooth decay.

You most likely want a pediatric dental practice that has convenient hours and is easy to get to from your home or your child’s school. On top of that, you should make sure that the practice in question has a wide enough menu of services that will allow them to meet all of your child’s oral health needs.

Make a list of the criteria you’re looking for and search for a practice that meets them. Then you can check their website and their online reviews to get a feel for what sort of environment they have as well as their approach to caring for their patients. This should help give you an idea of whether they’re a good match for your little one.

Oral pain, cracked teeth, and other urgent issues involving the mouth are generally best handled by a dental professional (unless they are life-threatening, in which case you should call 911). Please reach out to us right away if your child has a dental emergency; we will schedule an appointment for them as quickly as possible, and we’ll give you advice for keeping the situation under control at home.
