Preventative Dentistry
We believe that prevention is the key to maintaining good oral health throughout childhood and beyond. We offer a range of preventative services, including regular dental checkups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments, to help kids reduce their risk of common dental concerns.
Restorative Treatments
Despite their best efforts, children may still experience dental problems such as cavities, tooth decay, or chipped teeth from accidents. That’s why we offer a variety of restorative treatments to help children maintain their beautiful smiles.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen anytime, and our team understands that prompt treatment is crucial to minimizing pain and preventing further damage. At Once Upon a Tooth, we offer pediatric emergency dentistry services for children who are experiencing tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, or other dental emergencies.
Putting Kids First
When kids grow up in a positive, friendly atmosphere, they’re less likely to experience dental anxiety as they age.
At Once Upon a Tooth, we put children first. We understand that dental visits can be scary for children, and we strive to create a comfortable and friendly environment that will put your child at ease. Our waiting room is designed to keep children entertained, and our exam rooms are welcoming and child friendly.
We believe that age-appropriate education is an essential part of maintaining good dental health, and we work hard to educate our patients and their families about the importance of proper oral hygiene. By teaching children good dental habits at an early age, we can set them up for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Child-Driven Dental Care for Every Age
We understand that children’s dental needs vary depending on their age. Infants, toddlers, pre-teens, and teenagers all have unique dental, developmental, and emotional needs. Our team of experienced pediatric dental professionals has the necessary training to provide the specialized care that each age group requires.
For infants, we know that their teeth and gums are delicate, and we provide gentle care that is essential for their oral health, nutritional intake, and speech development. As toddlers begin to get a little more independent, we work with them to help them learn how to properly brush their teeth, creating a solid foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
