A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation
Healthy smiles are key to your child’s development from childhood through their teenage years and beyond, but balancing a busy family lifestyle can be challenging. With work, school, and everything else on your plate, finding time for dental appointments can feel like one more thing to juggle.
We’re here to make your trips to the dentist as smooth and stress-free as possible. With flexible hours and the option to group appointments together, we’re happy to accommodate your busy schedule.
As your child grows, they’ll reach many dental milestones—from their first appointment to losing baby teeth, getting their adult teeth, and eventually visiting the dentist on their own. We’re excited to support them every step of the way, helping to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

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
Children typically start cutting their first teeth around 6 months of age. It’s recommended that your child visit the dentist by the age of 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. If you suspect any issues or your child seems to be in discomfort, it’s a good idea to book an appointment as soon as possible. Remember, it’s never too late for a child to have their first dental check-up.
Baby teeth are crucial for more than just holding space for permanent teeth. They impact how a child’s face develops, how they smile, and their overall confidence. Children who can smile confidently early on often retain those habits. Even mild dental pain can negatively affect eating habits, including how they chew and what types of food they prefer, making early dental care essential.
The length of your child’s first appointment depends on their needs and how cooperative they are during the exam. Typically, appointments last about one hour.
Children should visit the dentist as often as adults—every six months for routine checkups and cleanings, unless otherwise recommended. If your child has a toothache, jaw discomfort, or you notice them avoiding certain foods, it’s a good idea to book an appointment sooner.
Cavities are small holes in teeth that grow over time. They may or may not cause pain or sensitivity but should be treated promptly to prevent infection. Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque and are often worsened by sugary or acidic foods. Some children are more prone to cavities than others.
Your oral health involves more than just your teeth. The gums, tongue, ligaments, joints, and bones all work together to support your mouth. Swollen, itchy, or bleeding gums can be early signs of more serious oral health issues, making gum health a critical part of overall dental care.
