Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and oral development. Using child-friendly techniques, we assess dental health, identify potential issues, and create personalized care plans. Each exam includes parental education about preventive care and oral hygiene practices.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. We use age-appropriate formulations tailored to each child's specific needs, combined with dietary counseling to optimize oral health. These treatments are particularly beneficial for children with developing teeth.
Emergency Dental Care
We provide urgent care for dental trauma, toothaches, and oral injuries. Our team handles emergencies with specialized pediatric expertise, offering immediate treatment for knocked-out teeth, fractures, and infections while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
Dental Cleanings
Child-focused dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while educating young patients about proper oral hygiene. Our hygienists use gentle techniques and positive reinforcement to make the experience comfortable and educational for children of all ages.
Care Packages
Customized care packages include comprehensive preventive services tailored to each child's age and dental needs. These packages combine exams, cleanings, x-rays, and fluoride treatments at affordable rates, ensuring accessible quality care for uninsured families.

What makes a pediatric dentist different from a general dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete 2-3 additional years of specialized training focusing exclusively on children's dental development, behavior management, and treatment of special needs patients.

Maintain positive language, avoid using words like 'needle' or 'hurt', and let us explain procedures in child-friendly terms during the visit.
What should I do for a dental emergency after hours?
Call our office to hear emergency instructions for immediate care, including handling knocked-out teeth or severe toothaches.
How do you handle anxious or fearful children?
Our team uses positive reinforcement, distraction techniques, and gradual acclimation to create comfortable experiences tailored to each child's emotional needs.
What are your office hours for routine appointments?
We see patients Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm and select Fridays 8am-12pm, with emergency availability outside these hours.

I meant to post this at our first visit three months ago, but now I have to do so since we've now been there twice and the office has exceeded my expectations both times. I am so impressed with Dr. Lewis and her staff. I really can't say enough. We are finally at a place I feel my daughter is being taken care of and they all really seem to care! I am so happy we found it!

I took my 2 yrs old son to his very first dental visit. The office is very cute and the whole team made such a great experience for the whole family. The assistants and Dr. K, were very sweet with my son, they truly took their time to explain every instrument they used with him so he could feel comfortable. He can't stop talking about going back to the dentist office where they have a car lol I would definitely recommend them!

My son is not a fan of going to the dentist, but the staff was very kind and patient. They explained everything they were doing step by step and quickly put him at ease. When we left he told me how much he liked everyone there and how nice they were. Two thumbs up from this mom

Dr. K and Taylor were absolutely amazing! My son was terrified and they were so patient and kind. They figured out his interest and went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. They were flexible and understanding; helping to titrate his visit to meet his needs. I am so thankful!
