Our Treatments
Cleaning, Hygiene, and Digital X-rays

Regular dental cleanings and examinations are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health in children. Our gentle hygienists use kid-friendly techniques to ensure a comfortable experience, while our digital x-rays provide detailed insights into your child’s dental development with minimal radiation exposure.

Ozone Treatment of Deep Decay (TBD)

When faced with deep decay, we employ minimally invasive techniques, such as ozone therapy, to preserve as much of your child’s natural tooth structure as possible. Ozone’s antimicrobial properties effectively treat decay while promoting a comfortable and gentle experience.

For younger children, we offer space maintainers to prevent future orthodontic issues and a range of orthodontic treatments. Additionally, we offer comprehensive orthodontic services, including clear aligners for older children. Your child or teen can achieve a well-aligned, functional, and beautiful smile.

Myofunctional Therapy > O2Dontics

Through myofunctional therapy, a component of the O2Dontics system, we help correct improper oral habits and muscle patterns that can contribute to orthodontic issues, airway problems, and other developmental challenges.

MyoBrace > O2Dontics

The MyoBrace, part of the O2Dontics system, is a customized oral appliance designed to promote proper oral muscle function, facial development, and airway health in growing children.

Oral Microbiome Evaluation

The Oral Microbiome Evaluation offers a window into your child’s unique oral bacterial ecosystem. Using gentle, non-invasive testing methods, we analyze the balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms that impact your child’s oral and overall health. This comprehensive assessment helps us understand the root causes of various dental issues, from cavities to gum development concerns.

Babylase/Oralase

Babylase and Oralase are innovative laser therapies specifically designed to help infants and children with oral health and developmental issues.

FAQs

When should I bring my child for their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to establish a positive dental experience and monitor your child's oral health from the start.

How can I prepare my child for their dental appointment?

We recommend using positive language when discussing the dental visit, avoiding words that may induce fear or anxiety. You can also read children's books or watch educational videos that explain the process in a fun and engaging way. Most importantly, remain calm and confident – children often mirror their parents' emotions.

Do you offer sedation options for children?

Yes, we understand that some children may experience anxiety or have difficulty cooperating during dental procedures. In these cases, we offer safe and effective sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral conscious sedation, to help your child remain relaxed and comfortable throughout their treatment.

How can I help my child develop good oral hygiene habits?

Establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. We recommend supervising and assisting your child with brushing and flossing until they develop the necessary dexterity, usually around the age of six or seven. Additionally, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and encourage a well-balanced diet rich in tooth-friendly nutrients.

Finding Dr. Taylor and her team was was such a godsend! I was referred by a homeopathic doctor in my town who said it would be worth my while to make the 1 1/2 hr drive…oh boy was she right! That was over seven years ago and I’m still making the drive because I have found no other office that compares. The care they offer is comprehensive and cutting edge. They helped me make informed choices that not only saved my teeth, but have improved my overall health. I HIGHLY recommend them!
