Teeth Cleanings
Our child-friendly teeth cleanings use fun-flavored toothpaste and specialized instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup. We incorporate fluoride varnish treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent decay. Our hygienists are trained to make the process enjoyable through interactive education and positive reinforcement techniques.
Preventative Treatments
We focus on proactive dental care through sealants, fluoride applications, and radiographs to prevent cavities. Our approach includes personalized home care instruction and dietary guidance to maintain optimal oral health between visits for developing teeth.
Restorative Treatments
We offer fillings, crowns, and pulp treatments to repair damaged teeth. Our conservative approach prioritizes preserving baby teeth while preparing for proper permanent tooth development using space maintainers when necessary.
Special Needs Care
Our specialists provide tailored dental care for children with developmental or medical conditions. We implement sensory-friendly techniques and behavior management strategies to ensure comfortable treatment experiences for patients with unique requirements.
Laser Dentistry
We utilize dental lasers for precise treatments that often eliminate the need for anesthesia. This technology reduces discomfort during procedures while maintaining treatment effectiveness for appropriate restorative cases in pediatric patients.
Questions

We specialize in pediatric care from infancy through adolescence. Patients transitioning to adult dentistry typically move to general dentists around age 12-13 or when permanent teeth erupt.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency care at all locations. Our on-call doctors handle urgent issues like toothaches, knocked-out teeth, and dental trauma with immediate attention.
What is a 'Happy Visit'?
Happy Visits are free introductory appointments where children explore our office, meet staff, and learn about dentistry through play. These visits help build positive associations with dental care.
Do you use sedation options?
We offer nitrous oxide and general anesthesia for anxious patients. Treatment plans determine appropriate sedation methods based on the child's comfort level and procedure requirements.
How do you accommodate special needs patients?
Our specialists have advanced training in adaptive dentistry. We implement customized communication strategies, sensory accommodations, and behavior management techniques to ensure comfortable care experiences.

I have four kiddos and they are my world! This dentist office is hands down the best place when it comes to so many things. Efficient, organized and professional but even more important; kind, fun and authentic. We had two kids in for appointments and the other two sat patiently. However, the nurses engaged with them so sweet while I was in the other room with my son. Making sure each of them was being seen, even though it wasn't their appointment.

We walked away feeling so very taken care of and my sons root canal was so quickly and efficiently done. It was more of an unexpected experience of seeing dedication in the work field, at a time were customer service has been on a decline.

We had Bobbi as our dental assistant and she was amazing! I had three kids with me and I always get anxious as a single parent if the kids are going to overthrow me or if it'll be smooth sailing. Bobbi not only accommodated my older son that wasn't a patient ( thinking I nee to move him over now) but made him feel welcome by letting him pick a toy out and also painting his face. She made the experience fun for all of them and my daughter who's first time was magical because of her.

By the time we finished, I had a unicorn, snake, and spider following me out of the office because she had painted their faces. They even texted me after to tell me they had a coloring page for my daughter but we had already left but I thank Bobbi for her patience and making all of it so fun! We of course also had a good experience with our dentist, he was kind and patient.

I love this place so much! The dental asistants are all so sweet and patient. I have been taking my toddler there since he was first 13 months old, hes now 2.5. Todays appt the dentist was busy and we had to wait but there was another boy close to my sons age and they broke out bubbles and made them baloon animals to keep them occupied and happy! They really go above and beyond to make it a good experience. Dr Bryce is super nice as well! He tries to make it fun and relaxed! Hes quick but thorough with my little guy who isnt a big fan of dental exams yet.

What a wonderful dentist! My kids were scared their first time about a year and a half ago, but the office managed to still make it fun- painted nails, movies, face painting, and toys. Now they like going to the dentist. One of mine has had to have dental surgery with anesthesia because they were so young and had to have quite a bit of work done in cavities. Everyone was very gentle with them, and they walked me through the process well.

We also just had to have a tooth pulled, and the dentist was available on call. Even though the Nampa office was closed, they got us right in at the Fruitland office the next day, and there was hardly a wait. My child did very well, and once again, the staff was kind and gentle. So thankful for a great place to take my kids!

Wow this place is amazing! My daughter was nervous and before asked for me to hold her hand the whole time but once we got here they made her feel so special and she didn't need me at all! This place is decorated so adorable for kids and loved it! She got to watch Enchanto and had her face painted! Could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish!
