Why choose a Pediatric dentist?
With an additional two years of specialized pediatric care, a board-certified pediatric dentist has the unique skills and training to recognize and treat infants through teenagers.
Your child's first dental appointment
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday to ensure all is progressing well. Early childhood caries (tooth decay) can develop rapidly, progressing from the hard, outer enamel layer of a tooth into the softer, inner dentin in six months or less.
Pediatric Dental Treatments
We focus on education and prevention while delivering comfortable and calm dental solutions.
Healthy Smile Habits
As your child grows, we focus on prevention and education to ensure their smile remains healthy. Our goal is to help children learn and develop consistent oral hygiene habits.
Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)
During their regular six-month appointment, your child will experience a gentle and thorough cleaning to help prevent cavities and promote overall oral health.
Tooth Colored Fillings
When necessary, we use composite fillings with a tooth-colored resin to fill in cavities. As a result, fillings blend in naturally.
Dental Sealants
A plastic coating can be professionally applied to prevent cavities by sealing the chewing surfaces. Dental sealants are easy to apply and provide years of protection.
Dental Emergencies
If you are unsure if the pain your child is experiencing requires immediate attention, please call us.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
FDA approved and recommended by the World Health Organization, we use silver diamine fluoride to aid in the management and prevention of oral health issues.
Pediatric Crowns
To protect a decayed or damaged tooth, we offer stainless steel and tooth-colored crowns.
Nerve Treatment
Deep decay or trauma can cause tooth pulp infection or inflammation in baby teeth. When that occurs, we offer nerve treatment to save the damaged tooth and restore its health and function.
Sedation
Sedation options are based on your child's comfort and needs. We offer nitrous oxide, as well as conscious sedation when necessary. IV sedation is also available on a case-by-case basis and is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth has decay, disease, trauma, or may impede normal oral development, we remove the tooth.
“the whole team is awesome”
My son was finished with his cleaning and mind you he’s 12 yrs old, he informed me that he was going to bring his kids here because she’s a great dentist. My daughter was always timid about the dentist, but she walks to the back with no hesitation and without ME! I can’t recommend Dr Palmer enough, the whole team is awesome.
