What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry, or children’s dentistry, focuses on meeting children’s oral health needs and preserving their healthy smiles. When children develop their first tooth, our dentists are ready to provide the highest quality dental care and comfortable experience they need. 

We’ll work with parents to ensure that their children take good care of their teeth at home. Our dentist will also monitor for any problems so we can catch them early to ensure healthy smiles for life.

What to Expect at Your Child’s Dental Appointment

When you visit our Everett dental practice, our team will guide you and your child on caring for their teeth at home. There will also be plenty of time to have all your questions answered. While we do this, your child will have plenty of time to explore our office at their own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important for my child to visit the dentist?

  • Premature tooth loss
