Our Mission

At Children's Oral Care Only, our mission is to establish lifelong patterns of good dental habits in children through a combination of patient education, personalized preventive services, and a positive, welcoming environment. We understand that a child's first dental experiences shape their future relationship with oral health. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is committed to making each visit a comfortable and fun experience, instilling a sense of trust and confidence in children and parents alike.

Preventive Dentistry - The Foundation of Healthy Smiles

We firmly believe that preventing dental problems is always better than treating them. Our approach to preventive dentistry focuses on comprehensive dental care tailored to the individual needs of each child. This includes thorough examinations, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect their developing teeth. Our team works closely with parents, providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child's oral health at home. We empower parents to play an active role in their child's dental care by providing clear explanations of recommended treatments and preventive measures.

Interceptive Orthodontics - Shaping a Healthy Smile for Life

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This early screening allows us to identify potential orthodontic issues early on. Our team specializes in interceptive orthodontics, a proactive approach that addresses developing dental concerns during the active growth years. Understanding that a child's jaws and teeth are constantly evolving, we can implement early interventions to guide their growth and development. This can include addressing thumb-sucking habits, correcting misaligned bites, and creating space for permanent teeth. By identifying and addressing these issues early on, we can help your child achieve a healthy, well-aligned smile that lasts a lifetime.

Creating a Comfortable and Fun Experience

We strive to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere that alleviates any anxiety children may have about visiting the dentist. Our office is designed with children in mind, featuring bright colors, engaging artwork, and age-appropriate toys and games. During appointments, our team uses gentle techniques, friendly communication, and positive reinforcement to make the experience enjoyable for every child. We understand that building trust is essential for young patients, and we go the extra mile to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease.

State-of-the-Art Technology for Exceptional Care

Our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality care is reflected in our investment in cutting-edge dental technology. We utilize digital radiography, which delivers high-resolution images with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. This advanced technology allows for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. In addition to traditional methods, we offer state-of-the-art laser dentistry using both the Biolase Waterlase and Biolase Epic lasers. These precise tools provide a minimally invasive approach to various dental procedures, ensuring greater patient comfort and faster healing. Our adoption of an intraoral scanner has revolutionized our process for taking impressions, creating a more comfortable and precise experience for our younger patients.
