Full-Service Gainesville Orthodontists & Dentists You Can Trust

Children’s dentists make first appointments easy and stress-free. Usually, you’ll sit in the chair and hold your baby. Your dentist will verify your child is progressing normally and mainly talk to you about teeth cleaning, thumb sucking and more. Kid’s dentists often warn parents about baby bottle decay. You shouldn’t give your infant or toddler milk or juice in a bottle at night. The sugar can sit on their teeth and cause decay.

Pediatric dentistry focuses on dental care for children from infancy through their teenage years. Kids need special services that adults don’t, including sealants and fluoride treatments to protect their teeth. Even a dental cleaning for kids is different than the ones administered for adults. We suggest your child have their first teeth cleaning at about age three.

You’ll also find pediatric periodontics services at our office, since children can get gum disease just like adults. We provide orthodontic services and can arrange for your child to see a pediatric oral surgeon if he or she has an emergency. Our comprehensive children’s pediatric dentistry services ensure your child can get all the care they need here, without you having to take your child to a new office with new people.

Our dentists for kids excel at treating children with special needs. Our team understands that children with sensory or intellectual disabilities have unique needs and we are here to help. Your dentist can also help you create an at-home oral care routine for your child that adapts to their abilities and keeps their teeth healthy. Our dentist can administer safe sedation to your special needs child if he or she is fearful of having a procedure done. If you need special dental care personalized for your child’s needs, contact us today.
