Our Mission
At Prairie Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care to children in a gentle, caring, and compassionate environment. Our mission is to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to help their children develop good oral hygiene habits from an early age. We strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that puts our patients at ease, making their dental experience as smooth as possible.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists, like Dr. Emily, have specialized training in treating children from infancy to adolescence. They understand the unique needs of each child and are equipped to address any dental problems that may arise. Pediatric dentists also have experience in treating children with special needs, including those with autism, Down syndrome, and other developmental disabilities.
Early Dental Care
We believe that early dental care is crucial in preventing oral health problems later in life. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Emily, has a gentle and caring approach to ensure that your child feels comfortable during their dental visit. We focus on preventive care, such as cleaning teeth, checking for cavities, and providing guidance on how to care for your child's teeth at home.
Cavity Prevention
Preventing cavities is a top priority for us. We educate parents and caregivers on the importance of regular brushing and flossing, as well as the dangers of sugary snacks and drinks. We also recommend fluoride treatments to help strengthen teeth and prevent cavities.
Sedation Dentistry
For children who experience anxiety or have special needs, sedation dentistry can be a lifesaver. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Emily, is trained in administering mild sedatives to ensure that your child feels comfortable and relaxed during their dental visit.
Teen Dentistry
As our children grow older, they face unique dental challenges. We understand that teenagers can be nervous about their dental visits and may be more prone to anxiety. Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Emily, is experienced in treating teenagers and can offer guidance on good oral hygiene practices, help with orthodontic treatment, and provide general dental care.
