We treat children as young as 6 years of age, depending on their level of comfort. If we cannot provide for them, we will refer them to a local qualified specialist.
Help us help your child! Children need to feel comfortable at a dental office. You can help by preparing your child calmly for an office visit. If you are fearful, your child will become fearful, and that inhibits us from giving dental care. Please do not make promises or talk too much about what we will do for them until we assess your child’s condition. Plan to have fun conversations and bring along things to distract them. Your help can make all the difference in your child’s experience!
We are always willing to have a parent join a child in the operatory, but, from our experience, the child is more likely to maintain a peaceful temperament if the parent is willing to wait in the waiting room.
