Our Children's Dental Services

First Dental Visit

The AAPD recommends your child's first appointment by age 1. We check your child's teeth, gums, and development, talk through feeding and hygiene habits, and map out a prevention plan, all in a warm, welcoming environment built to earn trust from that very first appointment.

Dental Sealants

A quick, painless coating, protective sealants seal the deep grooves of the back teeth, where over 50% of childhood cavities occur. Put in place as soon as permanent molars erupt, sealants can protect teeth for years and rank among the most effective cavity-prevention tools available.

Protecting Your Child's Development

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride hardens enamel and helps reverse early signs of decay. Applied right after a cleaning for maximum effect, fluoride application is quick, painless, and one of the simplest ways to shield your child's teeth from cavities.

Tips for Parents

  • Book your child's first visit by age 1, or whenever the first tooth appears
  • Hold a positive attitude about dental visits, since your child takes cues from you
  • Come in for checkups every 6 months, since children with regular visits have fewer cavities
  • Oversee brushing until at least age 7, since young children lack the dexterity to brush thoroughly
  • Ask us about sealants the moment permanent molars appear

Frequently Asked Questions

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points to age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing, for a first dental visit. Coming in early lets us gauge your child's risk for cavities, offer feeding and hygiene guidance, and establish a dental home. Read more about the first dental visit.

Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice a day (helping out until age 7), floss once teeth touch, hold back on sugary snacks and drinks, skip the bedtime bottle, and bring your child in every 6 months for exams and fluoride treatments. Dental sealants on permanent molars add another layer of protection.

Absolutely! Baby teeth do the work of chewing and speaking and hold space for the permanent teeth to come. Left untreated, cavities in baby teeth can spread, bring on pain and infection, and harm the permanent teeth forming underneath. That's exactly why regular checkups and good hygiene habits matter, even for baby teeth.

Making dental visits positive for children is our specialty. Our team leans on gentle, age-appropriate communication and a 'show-tell-do' approach. At home, stay upbeat, steer clear of scary language, and read children's books about dental visits. When a child has significant anxiety, sedation options are available for their comfort.

The American Association of Orthodontists points to age 7 for an orthodontic evaluation. At every visit, Dr. Brammeier keeps an eye on your child's bite and jaw development and will recommend a referral to an orthodontist if early intervention would help.

Give our office a call. When a baby tooth is lost too soon, neighboring teeth can drift in and block the permanent tooth from erupting properly. Dr. Brammeier may recommend a space maintainer to keep the gap open until the permanent tooth is ready.

A healthy, happy smile is every child's birthright. Schedule your family's dental appointments today.
