A childs first dental visit should occur either when the first tooth pops up or at age one whichever comes first. Getting an early jump on oral health puts your child on the path to best oral and overall health.
Regular eye exams are an essential part of keeping both babies, kids and teens on track for educational, social, and developmental success. Children with vision issues often have trouble in school, with sports, interacting with other children and day-to-day functioning. A vision check-up is a great way to keep your child on track for success.
Farsightedness, also known as Hyperopia, is another common condition where you can see objects that are far away better than objects up close. When a child has farsightedness the light rays in their eyes will focus behind the retinas surface instead of directly on it, making close-up objects blurry...more
Astigmatism is a common vision condition in which your eye isnt completely round which can blur objects both near and far due to the eye not being able to focus. Astigmatism in kids can be difficult to diagnose because many kids dont recognize the blurriness they see and they view it as normal. Astigmatism...more

Orthodontic Braces are a great solution to fixing the alignment of the jaw, adjusting the spacing of the teeth, and increasing your kids or teens confidence and self-esteem. The benefits of braces treatments have many positive side-effects for overall dental health as well, including:
Finding the right braces is the first step of the journey for creating a perfect smile. There are several types of braces commonly used today such as traditional metal braces, ceramic or porcelain braces, and removable aligners. Well help you find the best type for your child and teen based on your treatment plan, cost, and desired appearance.
No insurance, No problem: For adults and children without insurance coverage, we offer a number of affordable payment plans, our orthodontic coordinators can explain these options to determine a plan that works best for you.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic screening no later than age seven. By this age, it will be clear if a child has any jaw alignment problems, overcrowding, overbite or underbite, cross-bite, or additional orthodontic problems impacting a childs mouth. The earlier the orthodontic evaluation, the quicker we can determine if braces are required and what treatment plan is best.
Since Medicaid covers procedures that are medically necessary, orthodontic treatment is could be covered for children. If your child has an underbite, overbite, crossbite or severe crowding it might be time to consider braces for kids with Medicaid.
When a dentist that accepts Medicaid conducts an orthodontic evaluation on your child, they will determine a recommended treatment plan. As part of this, they assess whether Medicaid is likely to cover the orthodontic treatment or not. Medicaid knows that braces can be an important treatment to ensure lifelong oral health for kids. As a dentist that accepts Medicaid, we will manage the full Medicaid approval process which includes submitting the appropriate documents and patient records. Then, Medicaid examiners will look at what we submitted and determine if your childs recommended orthodontic treatment will be covered. Medicaid will notify you and our office if the treatment is approved or declined.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommend children receive their first orthodontic screening by the time they turn 7. At this age, major jaw and tooth alignment problems will be visible. As with any health intervention, the earlier a problem is identified, the easier it is to create a treatment plan and schedule. Some issues that are treated by braces include:
If your child needs orthodontic treatment, it will be an improvement that will last a lifetime. Braces fix more than crooked teeth to create a winning smile. In addition to straightening out your childs teeth, braces also correct bite and tooth alignment. This is important to:
There are other options for braces that are less noticeable than the metal brackets. Some of our older patients like that ceramic or porcelain braces blend in with their teeth. There are also clear braces, but these are more expensive than metal braces and can discolor if not cleaned regularly. Then, there are removable aligners such as Invisalign. These are transparent trays that can be removed during mealtimes. Removable aligners are popular with adults and older kids, but they arent appropriate to treat significant bite problems. We dont recommend removable aligners for most children because they require more responsibility to care for properly.
Sometimes, the orthodontist will recommend two phases of braces depending on the developmental stage of a childs teeth. The first phase might begin around age 7 to 10 years of age to correct issues with your childs primary teeth that could impact the arrival of permanent teeth. During this time, the jaw bones and palette are more pliable.
Around the age of 12, a second phase might be recommended. These braces straighten out the permanent teeth. The time your child will be in braces is dependent on their treatment plan and how well they follow the orthodontists instructions. It can range from 9 months to 30 months.
When your child has braces, it can be more difficult to brush and floss teeth properly, but its very important. Encourage your child with braces to rinse their mouths with water frequently. This helps wash away food particles and restore the pH levels in the mouth to neutral. Acidic foods can wear away tooth enamel.
When your child wears braces, we suggest they brush their teeth after every meal. Your child should pay special attention to their gum line and then focus on brushing above, below and on each bracket. Flossing daily is also critical especially when your child has braces.

My son was treated here yesterday for the first time and we both absolutely loved it. I was able to get a same day emergency appointment, staff was super friendly and service was 10/10! Ashley, the front desk receptionist, was not only friendly and super efficient but she made my son feel super comfortable with the way she communicated with him. He is always scared of the dentist but he left happy and ready to go back. The atmosphere is very kid friendly from the waiting area to the exam rooms and treatment area.. I loved the decor and wished I could be a patient lol

(Translated by Google) The service is good but I think they can do a much better job to relax the children and not cry when they are in process.... There are televisions in every room but they are not used for the purpose of making children think about what they are watching.... Perhaps if before inducing the children they talked to them about what is in the room, what is happening on television or anything else, it would be much better for them to lose their fear a little and trust the doctors... I don't like that I cried girl.... I think they have to do their job in a more interactive way for the kids... (Original) El servicio es bueno pero pienso que pueden hacer mucho mejor trabajo para relajar a los ninos y no lloren cuando estan en proceso.... Hay televisiones en cada cuarto pero no se usan con el objetivo de hacer que los ninos piensen en lo que estan mirando .... Quizas si antes de inducir a los ninos les hablaran de las cosas que hay en el cuarto de lo que esta pasando en la television o cualquier otra cosa seria mucho mejor para que pierdan un tanto el miedo y confien en los doctores... no me gusta que me Nina llore .... Pienso que tienen que hacer su trabajo de una manera mas interactiva para los ninos ...

(Translated by Google) Terrible service that I received on Friday since they had been taking x-rays for my son, they told me that they were not going to continue treating him anymore because he was coughing while lying down waiting for cleaning and they took us out, by the way, very rude We didn't even get a smile to see being nicer to the children, they have never treated us that way (Original) Pesimos servicio el que recibi el viernes ya que le avian tomando lo rayos x a mi hijo me dijeron que no lo iban a seguir atendiendo nada mas porque en peso a toser estando acostado esperando para su limpieza y nos sacaron para fuera por cierto muy grosera la que nos toco ni una sonrisa de veria deser mas amable con los ninos nunca nos avian tratado de esa manera

They arent very reccomendable, unproffesional, and NOT PUNCTUAL. Youre basically stuck in the waiting room for hours, even when you have an appointment, just for them to not give you any services. Its always the same story, being overpacked with little to no employees. There are better places out there, save yourself the headache.

My son was in extreme pain and I have seen this dental place when I would drive by! Moving to a new side of town can be kinda scary when you have no idea of who's business place you are entering! Trust me when I tell you the young dental assistant in the front did whatever it took to get my son seen today! They took him to the back I was allowed in this gorgeous nice and clean facility. The technicians were extremely patient and helpful. They made my son feel comfortable after every question he had. I highly recommend this dental office. I wish everyone in this field could be this amazing! Best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
