- Dental ExaminationTo save you time on your visit, you can view several forms and fill them out in advance. That allows us to get to your child’s dental exam quickly.
- X-raysDental X-rays detect much more than cavities. They may be taken to survey erupting teeth, diagnose bone disease, evaluate the results of an injury, or plan orthodontic treatment. X-rays allow dentists to diagnose and treat conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination.
- Teeth CleaningStarting dental hygiene habits early in life is crucial for a healthy smile and a growing body, and part of that regimen includes routine teeth cleanings and check-ups with your dentist.

Teaching them to properly brush and floss at home is step one, but the next step in healthy smiles for life is making sure to fit in routine dental cleanings.
