Great Smiles

Establishing good oral hygiene at a young age provides a critical foundation for your child's long-term oral health. Our office provides a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere that makes bringing your child to the dentist a pleasant experience.

Infants should be seen by our office after the first six months of age, and at least by the child's first birthday. By this time, the baby's first teeth, or primary teeth, are beginning to erupt and it is a critical time to spot any problems before they become big concerns.

Every child grows 20 primary teeth, usually by the age of 3. These teeth are gradually replaced by the age of 12 or so with a full set of 28 permanent teeth, and later on, four molars called "wisdom teeth." It is essential that a child's primary teeth are healthy, because their development sets the stage for permanent teeth.
