Children’s Dentistry

Sometimes the hardest part of finding the right pediatric dentist is finding someone that your children feel safe and comfortable with. You want to know that someone is taking good care of your little ones and that they are being offered the best, gentle, and most compassionate care available. At Village Dental Practice our goal is to provide superior dental care in a child-friendly environment.

Children are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a dental exam. At Village Dental Practice we know how to examine and treat children in ways that make them comfortable.

Each member of our team is excited to be here, and it shows. We’ll take the time to greet your child and introduce ourselves. We know that new experiences can be scary and that your child may have seen representations of dentists on TV and in movies that aren’t quite accurate. Getting to know us and seeing that we are gentle and kind people is a great first step toward changing that perception.

The check-up – Our dentist will look at the following:

• Which teeth have erupted (come through the gum)
• Accessing the development of the jaw.
• Looking at the soft tissues (tongue, cheeks, lips, and throat).
• Checking for cavities in the teeth.
• As the child gets older we will assess how they bite together to check if orthodontics is required later on.

Orthodontic Treatment:

Many children end up needing orthodontic attention at some point during their development. Because we want our dental practice to be able to address the majority of your child’s pediatric dental needs, we offer orthodontics treatment.
