Tooth Colored Fillings for Kids
When cavities appear, we restore teeth with tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally. Our pediatric dentist uses modern techniques to keep visits comfortable and efficient. Fixing small spots early protects chewing and speech while avoiding bigger treatments later on entirely. We keep parents informed with photos and simple aftercare tips.

Great experience for my little. Our first visit was great!!! The assistant was super knowledgeable and kind and the dentist was very mindful about my child's boundaries and keeping the visit on a good note-to help build a positive relationship. Definitely glad we switched offices.
E Gallegos
Loved that this place is quick. Appointments are a little bit set back a while but once an opening is up they'll call and then it's set to go. My son got his teeth pulled and it was fast going under anesthesia.
Kry L.
The staff here is amazingly kind and the Dentist was wonderful! They made my child and I feel relaxed, comfortable and well cared for. Everything was easy from appointment making, to treatment and paperwork. A+++! So happy we were referred to this office by our former dentist who retired! 100% satisfied ✨

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
Have questions about pediatric dentistry. We are here with clear answers you can trust. Below are common topics, from first visits to emergencies and insurance. If your situation is unique, call and our team will guide you step by step with friendly support today always. Always.
When should my child see a pediatric dentist for the first time
We follow the age one guideline. Schedule a visit when the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. This early check lets us spot concerns, share brushing and diet tips, and help your child feel at ease. Starting early builds trust and sets the stage for cavity prevention success together for years to come. We will review diet, fluoride, and thumb or pacifier habits and share easy ways to support healthy growth at home.
Are dental X rays safe for children
Yes, when needed and used sparingly. Our digital X rays use modern safety features and we follow strict protocols, including lead aprons and thyroid collars. We only take images that guide treatment or monitor growth. Your doctor will explain the reason, timing, and alternatives so you can decide confidently for your child every time. Always.
What if my child is anxious about dental visits
We take a gentle, stepwise approach. Our team uses simple words, demonstrations, and choices to help kids feel in control. Short breaks and distraction often help. When appropriate, we discuss laughing gas to reduce worry. Please share concerns in advance so we can personalize the visit together and support success. We celebrate small wins and repeat steps until visits feel easy.
