Every child is treated by a pediatric dentist. Each completed a pediatric dentistry residency after dental school. That’s two to three extra years spent learning to care for infants, children, teens and children with special health care needs.

2

Every step explained first

Before any treatment, we tell you and your child what we see and what we recommend, in words your child understands.

3

Visits that work for families

Online appointment requests, plain insurance answers, and brothers and sisters scheduled together when you ask.

4

Care for children with special health care needs

Tell us what helps your child, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

For parents

Questions parents ask

When should my child first see a dentist?
By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. That’s what the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends. An early visit lets the dentist check growth and spot problems early, and gives you tips for brushing and feeding.
Is the online request a confirmed appointment?
No. You choose an office and a preferred time, and our team calls you to confirm the day and time, usually Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.
Can I stay with my child?
Parents stay with infants and toddlers for the whole visit. For older children, we’re happy to talk with you about what suits your child.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call (757) 471-2900. During office hours we offer same-day emergency visits when possible. After hours, our voicemail gives an on-call number. If your child has trouble breathing, a head injury or bleeding that won’t stop, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
