Our dentists and staff promote preventative dental care including a healthy diet and great oral hygiene at every visit. Because of this, we love to have parents with their children during their first visit. This gives us the opportunity to educate you as well so you can help reinforce these healthy habits at home.
At Creekside Pediatric Dentistry, our dental office is guided by these principles. We seek to serve our community by truly understanding the needs and of each child and family and providing the best care possible. Not everyone enjoys dental visits, but we want to change that for your child.
By meeting each child where they are able, we strive to provide gentle, calm, compassionate care to them and establish a relationship of trust. Your childs trust in us is our highest priority! It is our belief that informed decisions are vital in your childs dental care. Therefore we will always present ALL treatment options available to you, including risks and benefits in order to allow a truly informed decision regarding your childs care. Finally, as pediatric dental specialists, we will always have your childs best interest at heart. We will never stop in our pursuit of providing a fun and comfortable environment and treating your child as if they were our own.
