Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on comprehensive oral health for children from infancy through adolescence. We provide routine exams, cleanings, and tailored education to establish lifelong dental habits. Our approach combines gentle care with advanced techniques to ensure comfort and positive experiences for young patients.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps children with dental anxiety or complex needs receive treatment comfortably. Options include nitrous oxide and in-house general anesthesia, though we prioritize positive reinforcement techniques to minimize reliance on sedation for most procedures.

Great experience - very approachable office and staff, both of my children were given space and access to have a healthy relationship with the dentist. Dr. Saini, Brandy, and Jillian were very patient with the kids (and us) to talk through skills and building confidence. Looking forward to returning!

Report
We moved here recently and we were referred to Dr. Schmidts office from a friend. It was our kids first pediatric dentist experience (we always sent them to a general adult dentist for their cleaning), and I have to say it was great. From the admission tickets that they gave the kids for their appointments, the movies they got to watch during their cleanings, and the goody bags given to them at the end. They really enjoyed the overall experience. Highly recommend!
