Kids Welcome!
Children of all ages are welcome in our office! The American Dental Association recommends kids see the dentist within 6 months of their first tooth or by age 1. Our cheerful team understands how to work with children in a gentle and experienced manner. We know that a visit to the dentist might seem a little scary at first, so we also provide amenities to help kids feel comfortable during their time with us. We have found that it is important for kids to have a positive experience at the dentist early in life, as it will influence how they care for their teeth for the rest of their lives.
Let us help your kids start their dental journey off on the right path. Contact our office to schedule an appointment for you or your child(ren) today!
