Services
Pediatric Exams
Comprehensive dental exams for children starting at age one. Our dentists assess tooth development, screen for cavities, and provide guidance on oral hygiene. Early exams help prevent dental issues and establish lifelong healthy habits.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. We recommend these treatments during routine visits for children who lack sufficient fluoride exposure through water or toothpaste.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options including nitrous oxide and general anesthesia ensure comfortable treatment for anxious or special needs patients. Our dentists prioritize safety while performing complex procedures in a stress-free state.
Dental Sealants
Sealants protect back teeth from decay by sealing grooves and fissures. This quick, painless procedure is ideal for children with developing molars, reducing cavity risk by up to 80%.
Emergency Care
Urgent treatment for chipped, knocked-out, or injured teeth. We address traumatic injuries promptly to preserve dental health and minimize long-term complications, providing immediate care during office hours.

Recently moved to EC and needed a new pediatric dentist for my 2 kiddos. They give Dr. Dan and his team 5 stars! The appointments were easy to schedule, on-time, and they made the kids feel at ease the whole time. My 7y/o needed a baby tooth extracted that wasn't budging and Dr. Dan and his team made him as comfortable as possible and fit it in their schedule same day. Highly recommended by picky mom and kids!

My 11 and 3 year old see Dr. Dan and I just have to detail this review for you. Everyone, and I mean everyone from front desk, hygienist, to Dr. Dan are unbelievably amazing. They are so kind and patient that my kids never had any dental anxiety. They all truly care about each patient. Their facility is perfect for kids of all ages which is great when you have age gaps like ours. Oldest has been to other dentists and finding a place like kids dental is extremely rare. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Our insurance changed and I did update the insurance card with the front office staff. They also took it and completed the appointment with the dentist. After a month I got the bill saying my insurance denied the payment. When I called the office, they said its my responsibility to check the insurance. Not sure what world these people live in. I am not even heard of such thing. I have only seen the dentist office do eligibility verification upfront and let us know. or atleast let us know that they dont do verification and it my responsibility upfront. None of that happened but got a bill for 300$. THIS IS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE TO RIP OFF FROM YOUR PATIENT. HOPE THE DENTIST AWARE OF THIS STUPIDITY.
