Preventative and Diagnostic Treatments
Children should see the dentist by their first birthday, or once their first tooth erupts. Preventative and diagnostic care including screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants where necessary.

Special Needs Dentistry
All children need regular dental checkups and dental care. Our pediatric dentists and orthodontics are highly experienced in treating children with a variety of special needs ranging from autism to cerebral palsy, and much more.  

Sedation Dentistry
Dental care early in life is essential for children. However, we know that some kids are frightened of the dentist. We offer a variety of sedation options to ensure your child can relax during their appointment.

Laser Dentistry
The use of lasers in dentistry has marked a new era in effective treatment for children. We use both soft tissue and hard tissue lasers to provide pain-free and effective diagnosis and treatment of virtually all conditions.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Kids fall and bump into things. A chipped or stained tooth can be gently and safely repaired by our experienced pediatric dentists with dental bonding. Affordable, painless, and non-invasive, dental bonding is a great way to correct imperfections.

Soft Tissue Laser Lip/Tongue Tie Frenectomies
Gentle lasers release tethered oral tissues quickly and effectively. Laser treatments improve nursing, feeding, speech, and swallowing problems in infants, children, and teens. 

Our New Brunswick adjacent pediatric dental and orthodontic practice specializes in the unique needs, technologies, and treatments for kids whose mouths are still growing and developing. Our friendly, gentle, and fun pediatric dentists and orthodontists chose to work with children because of their dedication to setting every child up for a lifetime of good oral health. 

When should my child see an orthodontist?
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, all children should see an orthodontist by their 7th birthday. However, children who lose baby teeth early, or those whose adult teeth are coming in crooked, slanted, or crowded will benefit from seeing an orthodontist sooner.
