Pediatric Dentistry

Children’s Dental Treatments: 

During each visit, our staff spends a great deal of time explaining to your child what can be expected during the treatment. This is done in a very positive way to help the child feel comfortable, and to give him or her some control over what will be happening. You can help us make this next visit a successful and positive experience by working with us to accomplish this goal.

Why Are Baby Teeth Important?

Your child’s baby teeth are important. Children need strong, healthy teeth to chew their food, speak and have a good-looking smile.
Baby teeth also help to keep a space in the jaw for the adult teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early, the teeth beside it may drift into the empty space. When it’s time for the adult teeth to come in, there may not be enough room, causing the teeth to be crooked or crowded.
Severe infection in the baby tooth can also damage the shape and color of the adult tooth that is forming just below the baby tooth.
