According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a baby should see a dentist within six months of the eruption of their first tooth, or by age one. These early visits are essential for ensuring your child's teeth are developing properly. During these appointments, we'll also inform you of proper hygiene techniques to keep that little smile strong and healthy, along with nutritional guidance to keep cavities at bay.

We want every child to feel welcome and every parent to feel assured that their kid is in capable hands.

Dental sealants are like invisible tooth protectors! We paint a clear, safe resin on your child's teeth that hardens under a special light. It acts like a shield, keeping away cavity-causing bacteria and food particles. This treatment is especially great for back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form.

Sports guards are worn over the teeth, and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral trauma caused by high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries caused by collisions to the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help protect you from chipping, cracking, or knocking out a tooth. Tailored to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, so you can play the sports you love without missing a beat.

A sports guard is essential if you’re an athlete who plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or if you participate in any other activities that put you at risk for injury due to falling, body contact, or flying objects.

Nutritional counseling educates families on how diet affects children's dental health. By understanding the connection between food and oral care, parents can prevent cavities and promote stronger smiles.

Dental emergencies can happen anytime. At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we provide expert care for injuries, infections, and sudden pain. Your child’s comfort and safety are always our top priorities.

If you're struggling with breastfeeding, a frenectomy might be the solution you've been searching for. A frenectomy is a simple and brief surgical procedure performed with a laser that can improve the quality of life for both you and your baby. It involves removing excess tissue in the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is tight or restrictive, it can limit your baby's mobility and hinder their ability to latch properly during breastfeeding. By undergoing a frenectomy, you can enhance your baby's feeding experience, promote better milk transfer, and alleviate discomfort for both you and your little one. Rest assured, this procedure is relatively quick and has a high success rate, providing a straightforward solution to a complex breastfeeding challenge.

Orthodontic care for your child might seem extreme, but it can save time and money in the future. The sooner you get treatment for your child, the better. Being proactive early can correct problems while your child's teeth are still growing, eliminating the need for complex procedures as they get older. Early interceptive orthodontics is a great way to simplify future treatments. If you are interested in learning more about early interceptive orthodontics, get in touch with us today.
