Children's Dentistry

Eliminating stress from your child's dental experience can help them develop enthusiasm for taking care of their teeth and visiting the dentist regularly. Our providers are friendly and caring, and offer the care your child needs in a stress-free manner.

Even our office is designed to help children (and adults, too!) relax—it's a very homely, comforting environment with water and other amenities for patients. By teaching your kids the importance of oral hygiene at a young age, we help instil healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

Medicare offers up to $1,132 for basic dental service over two consecutive calendar years through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). This initiative is for eligible children between two and seventeen years of age.
