Pediatric and Family Dentistry

It is recommended for children to start dental visits between two and three years of age. Routine professional cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments are an important base for healthy oral health.

Sealants are also a beneficial dental service for children. When permanent teeth erupt, a special light-cured “coating” is placed on the groovy surface of the tooth to help prevent possible tooth decay. This is generally done after age 6, when permanent first molars are fully erupted, and again around 13 years of age when second molars erupt.
