Our Children's Dental Services

First Dental Visit

The AAPD recommends a first dental visit by age 1. We assess your child's teeth, gums, and development, discuss feeding and hygiene habits, and create a prevention plan — all in a warm, welcoming environment designed to build trust from the very first appointment.

Dental sealants for children at

Dental Sealants

Sealants are a quick, painless protective coating applied to the deep grooves of back teeth — where over 50% of childhood cavities occur. Applied as soon as permanent molars erupt, sealants can protect teeth for years and are one of the most effective cavity-prevention tools available.

Protecting Your Child's Development

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride strengthens enamel and helps reverse early signs of decay. Applied right after cleanings for maximum effectiveness, fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and one of the simplest ways to protect your child's teeth from cavities.

What to Expect at Your Child's Visit

A Typical Visit

  1. Welcome: Our team greets your child warmly and explains everything in kid-friendly language
  2. Exam: Dr. Brammeier checks teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral development
  3. Cleaning: A gentle professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar
  4. Fluoride: A quick fluoride application strengthens enamel and fights cavities
  5. Parent discussion: We review findings, answer questions, and discuss home care

Tips for Parents

  • Schedule your child's first visit by age 1 — or when the first tooth appears
  • Keep a positive attitude about dental visits — your child takes cues from you
  • Bring your child for checkups every 6 months — children with regular visits have fewer cavities
  • Supervise brushing until at least age 7 — young children lack the dexterity to brush thoroughly
  • Ask about sealants as soon as permanent molars appear

Frequently Asked Questions

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits allow us to assess your child's risk for cavities, provide feeding and hygiene guidance, and establish a dental home. Learn more about the first dental visit.

Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice daily (assist until age 7), floss when teeth touch, limit sugary snacks and drinks, never put your child to bed with a bottle, and visit us every 6 months for exams and fluoride treatments. Dental sealants on permanent molars add another layer of protection.

Yes! Baby teeth are essential for chewing, speaking, and holding space for permanent teeth. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can spread, cause pain and infection, and damage the permanent teeth developing underneath. That's why regular checkups and good hygiene habits are so important — even for baby teeth.

We specialize in making dental visits positive for children. Our team uses gentle, age-appropriate communication and a 'show-tell-do' approach. Keep a positive attitude at home, avoid scary language, and read children's books about dental visits. If your child has significant anxiety, we offer sedation options for their comfort.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Dr. Brammeier monitors your child's bite and jaw development at every visit and will recommend a referral to an orthodontist if early intervention would be beneficial.

Contact our office. Premature loss of a baby tooth can allow neighboring teeth to shift, potentially blocking the permanent tooth from erupting properly. Dr. Brammeier may recommend a space maintainer to hold the space open until the permanent tooth is ready.

Every child deserves a healthy, happy smile. Schedule your family's dental appointments today.
