A Positive Start to Lifelong Dental Health
Your child’s first dental experiences shape their attitude toward oral health for life. At Toothology Dental, we create positive, stress-free visits that help kids feel comfortable and even excited about taking care of their teeth.
Our team is specially trained to work with children of all ages—from wiggly toddlers to busy teenagers. We use gentle techniques, age-appropriate explanations, and plenty of patience to make every visit a success.
We believe in partnering with parents. We’ll teach you and your child the best ways to prevent cavities, establish good brushing habits, and keep their smile healthy as they grow.
Services Included
Our pediatric dentistry covers every stage of your child’s smile—from first visits at age one through cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and cavity care. We also provide orthodontic monitoring and custom sports mouthguards to keep growing teeth healthy and protected.
First Dental Visits (Age 1+)
The American Dental Association recommends children see a dentist by their first birthday. These early visits are gentle introductions to the dental office—we check development and give parents guidance on care.
Children's Dental Exams
Comprehensive exams to monitor your child’s oral development, check for cavities, and catch any concerns early.
Kid-Friendly Cleanings
Gentle, thorough cleanings tailored to little mouths. We make it fun while teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Fluoride Treatments
Quick, painless applications that strengthen developing teeth and help prevent cavities.
Dental Sealants
Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars—highly effective at preventing cavities in the grooves where kids often miss brushing.
Cavity Treatment
If your child does get a cavity, we’ll repair it gently with tooth-colored fillings. We’re experts at keeping kids calm and comfortable.
Orthodontic Monitoring
We track your child’s bite development and jaw growth, advising when (and if) orthodontic treatment might be needed.
Sports Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect your child’s teeth during sports—far more effective than store-bought options.

FAQs About Pediatric Dentistry
Got questions about your child’s dental health? From first visits and X-ray safety to handling dental anxiety, we’ve got answers to help you feel confident about your little one’s care.
Q: When should my child first see a dentist?
A:
The American Dental Association recommends a first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help us catch problems early and establish a positive relationship with dental care.
Q: How do you handle anxious or scared children?
A:
With patience, gentleness, and experience. We use “tell-show-do” techniques, take breaks when needed, and never force a child. Our goal is building trust. If a child is very anxious, we may recommend a “happy visit” just to get comfortable in the office before any treatment.
Q: How often should kids see the dentist?
A:
Most children should visit every six months for checkups and cleanings. Some children with higher cavity risk may benefit from more frequent visits.
Q: Are dental X-rays safe for children?
A:
Yes. We use digital X-rays with minimal radiation and only take them when necessary. The diagnostic benefits far outweigh the minimal exposure, and we use protective lead aprons.
Q: When should my child start using fluoride toothpaste?
A:
You can start using fluoride toothpaste as soon as the first tooth appears. Use a tiny smear (rice-sized) for children under 3 and a pea-sized amount for ages 3-6. Teach them to spit, not swallow.
Q: What if my child has a dental emergency?
A:
Call us right away. Common childhood dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, chipped teeth, and toothaches. We’ll guide you on immediate steps and get your child seen as quickly as possible.
