What we do
Visits and care for children and teens
Every page below says what happens, what it feels like, what waiting means and how it is billed.
Questions we hear most
Will it hurt?
We tell your child what each tool does before it touches a tooth, and we use numbing when a tooth needs it. A child can raise a hand to ask for a break. Some things can feel strange or sore afterward; the dentist explains what to expect.
How often does my child need X-rays and a cleaning?
The dentist decides after looking at your child's teeth, age and history. Some children need X-rays and cleanings more often than others, and some visits need neither.
What if my child is afraid?
Tell us what worries your child before you come. We show the tools, say what we will do and go at your child's pace. A short first visit with no treatment is a fine start.
Not sure which visit your child needs?
Ask when you request a visit. The dentist decides after looking at your child's teeth.
