General Info

Welcome to Crockett Pediatric Dentistry P.A., the practice of Dr. Mary W. Crockett, D.M.D. Board Certified Pediatric Dentist. We see patients from birth through their teens. Just as you choose to take your child to a Pediatrician for their physical health needs, it is essential to allow a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist take care of their oral health. We provide all types of dental services to meet your child's needs. Proper oral care is essential for healthy teeth and a dazzling smile, and children often need the help of a kid's dentist to take care of their teeth. Dr. Crockett and her friendly staff are friendly and you can trust them to treat your child's teeth and maintain their overall dental health and development. We specialize in pediatric dentistry to make sure you child has the right care and encouragement to develop good oral habits that will serve them their whole lives. We give your child the dental care they need, starting with routine dental exams. Children's mouths are still developing, which means now is the time to catch any problems that may develop. With regular check-ups, we can exam your child's oral development to make sure their teeth are growing properly, and their jaws are healthy to support the new teeth that grow in. This kind of preventative dental care is essential at this young age because problems are much easier to correct before they happen or in their early stages. If we see any problems, even common cavities, we will take care of them right away. We make sure your child understands what is happening so they feel safe. We also provide nitrous oxide sedation if requested to help your child feel at ease for their dental work. Our dental services include: Preventative Careincluding bi-annual exams, radiographs, fluoride application, and cleanings; Restorative Careincluding cavity resolution, root canals and crowns, and extractions; Patient Dental Education; Treatment under Oral Conscious Sedation, and more. We also offer 24-hour Emergency Services to established patients of record. PROBLEMS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AND BABY TEETH: Cavities, Sugar Rot, Decay, Misalignment, and more. Baby teeth will ultimately fall out but it is essential to care for them properly so future adult teeth are not damaged and may lead to lifelong dental problems. Dr. Crockett works with the parent and patient to prevent these things from happening through proper care, maintenance, and education. We strongly recommend not putting your baby or toddler to bed with a bottle and to teach them from a young age the importance of dental hygiene. If you can instill a routine from a young age, you are likely to save yourself some money in the long run. Heres what you can expect at their first dental checkup: Routine Examination, Cleaning and Fluoride, Digital X-rays, and a comprehensive to provide your child with the healthiest smile possible.
