Comprehensive & Gentle Dental Care for Your Child

At Just Smile Dental, Dr. Webley and our staff understand the importance of good pediatric oral health. Our pediatric dentistry treatments help protect and restore children’s teeth so they can speak, eat, and have stunning smiles.

Our Everett, WA pediatric dentist, Dr. Webley understands that your child’s experience with us can affect their views on dentists for the rest of their life. We want them to associate the dentist’s office as a good place instead of being scared. We‘ll take our time with each patient so that they have an enjoyable and educational visit.

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

The sooner your child visits the dentist, the sooner they can have a lifetime of healthy smiles.

These are some of the common pediatric dental problems:

  • Premature tooth loss
  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
