My Kid's Dentist & Orthodontics

Until recently, a person’s family doctor or pediatrician recommended that our children see a dentist by age three. Now we have new recommendations - when your child’s first tooth appears or no later than your child’s first birthday, they should see the dentist; basically, age one at the latest. Check out our #blog 5 Tips for Healthy Little Smiles from a Pediatric Dentist for more: https://sm-il.es/38A9kFs

Happy New Year from our team to you and your families!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours

Happy Holidays!

Then, we’ll be able to recommend a specific program of brushing, flossing, and other treatments for you to help supervise and teach your children. These home treatments, along with regular dental visits and a balanced diet, will help your child develop a lifetime of healthy habits.
