Report
Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Heeter recommend dental cleanings every 6 months with a complete oral examination every 12 months. This may vary depending on your child's needs and can be discussed further with the dentist. Each child's need for dental x-rays is different. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Heeter are very conservative with radiographs and will discuss their specific recommendation for your child at their dental visit. A sealant is a protective coating that can be applied to the biting surface of permanent molars to prevent decay from starting.

Report
Dr. Ortiz has called the Rogue Valley home since 2000. She is a native Texan who, after living abroad, followed her dream to settle in the Pacific NW. She completed her dental school training at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, practiced for seven years as a general dentist in the US Army, then returned to specialize in pediatric dentistry at the University of Kentucky.
First Visit
Report
Children may be apprehensive about visiting the dentist. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Heeter are experienced pediatric dentists and specialize in interacting with children and will explain procedures in a pleasant and non-frightening manner. We don't expect your child to sit alone in the dental chair at this young age, so we do what's called a "lap to lap".
Sedation Options
Report
Commonly known as "laughing gas, " nitrous oxide helps reduce your child's anxiety during dental treatment. By placing a small breathing mask over the child's nose, nitrous oxide works with normal breathing within just a few minutes. Nitrous oxide helps alter perception of pain and warps time for those on whom it is effective.
