We believe children thrive in an environment that provides safety and comfort and that supports their emotional needs. We strive to make each experience with every child special, recognizing his/her unique needs. We spend the time to ensure the comfort of our patients and to make sure the parents of our patients are involved and as excited about their children's dental health as we are. We emphasize prevention of disease through early education.

Did you know that one human mouth contains more bacteria than the number of people on Earth?! WOW! All the more reason to keep brushing! :)

Sensitive teeth? Bananas can help! Studies have indicated that Bananas may help with tooth sensitivity!

Primary teeth, or baby teeth, are as important to infants and children as permanent teeth are to older children and adults. Children need them when learning to speak and chew properly, and they’re important to a child’s overall self-image and confidence. Baby teeth also serve as “guides” for the proper eruption of permanent teeth. So, don’t forget to brush those baby teeth for two minutes, two times every day!

05/27/2024

Did you know that 78% of American children have at least 1 cavity by age 17? And that cavities are almost entirely preventable. Regular dental visits and brushing for 2 minutes, twice a day are great tools in working towards a cavity-free childhood.

Growing and harvesting your own vegetables encourages even the pickiest of eaters to try new foods. Low on space? Grow herbs such as basil or cilantro in an old coffee can near a sunny window. Lettuce, chard, and other greens thrive in small pots as well. Your kids will develop a love for gardening and may try something new to eat!

05/20/2024

It’s important to keep your toothbrush where it can get the least amount of bathroom germs possible (Yuck!). The best place to store your toothbrush is upright in a closed area such as a cabinet where it can dry without touching other brushes or being exposed to micro-particulates from the toilet.

05/16/2024

Does your child experience sensitivity when eating cold or hot items such as ice cream or soup? This can be caused by tiny, microscopic holes in enamel that allow teeth to be more sensitive to temperature. You should avoid tooth whitening products for children unless it is something we specifically recommend. An ADA approved toothpaste made specifically for sensitive teeth may also help. Finally, brushing for two minutes, twice a day and flossing every day is always recommended. If your child struggles with tooth sensitivity give us a call today!

05/13/2024

It's ok to have the occasional sugary treat, but don't let the Mouth Monsters play a trick on your teeth. Don't forget to brush for 2 minutes, 2 times every day!

05/09/2024

Flossing toddler and elementary school teeth can be hard, especially if your child has wide gaps. Dental tape is a great solution to floss teeth with larger gaps. Dental tape is wide and flat and designed to be gentle on exposed gums. When children are ready to begin flossing on their own, the width of dental tape makes it easier for small hands to grasp it and makes it more forgiving when children use too much pressure while flossing.

05/06/2024

May is National Salad Month! Does your child like salads? Leafy green vegetables are incredibly healthy for both body and teeth. Advantages include folic acid, which helps fight gum disease, calcium which rebuilds enamel, and a texture that makes them ideal for scrubbing teeth while chewing.

05/02/2024

When choosing a toothbrush for you and your kids, choose one with soft bristles. Using a hard-bristled toothbrush is tough on enamel and can damage gum tissue. Using an extra soft or soft toothbrush is all the power you need to gently remove plaque and keep your teeth clean and healthy!

04/29/2024

Even though 80% of parents say they know that children should not be put to bed with a bottle of milk or juice, a surprising number of parents still do just that on a regular basis. If you do put your child to bed with a bottle, make sure its water only!

04/25/2024

As we carry on with Every Kid Healthy Week, let's take a moment to recognize and celebrate the small victories! Did your child brush their teeth without being asked? Or perhaps they chose a healthy snack over junk food? These are the moments that pave the way to lifelong healthy habits! Let's use them to encourage our children's lifelong health!

04/22/2024

This Every Kid Healthy Week (April 22-26), let's shine a spotlight on something crucial but often overlooked: Pediatric Dental Health! As we celebrate the health and wellness of our children, it's important to remember that a healthy smile is just as vital as a balanced diet and regular exercise. Dental health is a key part of overall wellness, and good habits start early.

04/18/2024

Most people use more toothpaste than they need. Children under 3 should use only a “smear” of toothpaste, while older children (and adults!) only need a pea-sized amount.

04/15/2024

Got a tiny sweet tooth? To keep the sugar bugs away, make sure that these occasional treats are finished quickly. Rinsing with cool water afterwards is a great idea as well!

04/11/2024

Did you know that dental sealants decrease the risk of tooth decay in permanent molars by 80%? Dental sealants can be a huge help in your child's fight against cavities!

04/08/2024

The goal of brushing is to remove plaque from your teeth, but plaque is actually pretty soft! Brushing too hard only serves to wear down your mouth's natural defenses and can actually lead to bigger problems down the road. Toothpaste is abrasive enough, so let it do the hard work!

04/04/2024

Fresh fruit plays a big role as part of a healthy diet. Fruit snacks may seem like a healthy alternative, but they aren't usually tooth-friendly and often contain added sugars perfect for cavity causing bacteria. Additionally, dried fruit like raisins and plums can also stick to teeth. When possible, the best choice is almost always fresh fruit!

04/01/2024

Sharing toothbrushes sounds yucky, but It’s more common than you think! Stay healthy and avoid sharing cavity-causing bacteria by only use your own toothbrush - it's one item you don't want to share!

03/28/2024

Studies show that people who brush and care for their teeth are at a lower risk for heart disease and cardiovascular problems. When children learn to take care of their oral health, it can establish habits that last a (longer) lifetime!

03/25/2024

Kids are more likely to be enthusiastic about brushing if you let them choose their own ADA approved toothpaste. We love bubblegum flavor! What's yours?

03/21/2024

Over the counter whitening toothpaste can be harsh on children's enamel, sometimes leading to tooth sensitivity. Unless we've specifically suggested it, it's best to avoid these types of toothpaste.

03/18/2024

Frequent consumption of soft drinks is the leading cause of tooth decay in older kids, teens and young adults. While the occasional soda is a sweet treat, water is always the best choice.

03/14/2024

Teething can be just as painful for parents as it is for the baby! A good way to soothe sore gums is to gently rub a cold washcloth over your baby’s gums. If you have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to give us a call!

03/11/2024

Did you know that candy doesn’t directly cause cavities? Instead, the sugar in candy provides the food that harmful bacteria need to create acids that wear away tooth enamel. That’s why sticky candy and hard candies are more likely to damage teeth because they stay around for a lot longer, hiding in crevices of your teeth. We like candy as much as you! Just remember to save it for special treats and don’t forget to brush for two minutes, two times every day!

03/07/2024

Did you know that certain foods, medications, and even dry mouth can cause bad breath? However, persistent dry mouth can be a sign of larger issues such as periodontal disease. If your child has frequent bad breath it's probably time to give us a call!

03/04/2024

If your child lost a baby tooth recently, it can take up to six months for a permanent adult tooth to appear in its place. Still waiting? There are times when a permanent tooth just does not follow its baby tooth and erupt correctly. Your child’s permanent teeth may not have enough space to erupt into place or it’s possible that the tooth underneath is erupting in the wrong direction. If you’re concerned about a tooth that’s slow to appear, it’s best to have us evaluate your child. Give us a call and make sure everything is on track for a beautiful smile!

02/29/2024

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) suggests brushing your teeth for at least two minutes, twice every day. Like if you've brushed today!
