Children’s Dental Services
Dental Care for Children
Our children’s dental program provides preventive and restorative treatment services to ensure the oral health of our young clients. The main cause of dental problems in children is tooth decay. Even when tooth decay is in its earliest stage, it can be detected by a dental exam. This is the best time for treatment.
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic infectious diseases among U.S. children. Tooth decay is preventable, so schedule your child’s first dental check-up by age 1, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
