Our office takes pride in our understanding of the special care needed by your child. Whether this is your child's first visit to the dentist, or if they have been in care for some years, we do all we can to help them (and you) feel at ease.
Dr. Black is available to start seeing your child for their first cleaning once they reach the age of three. The primary concern in very young children is 'Early Childhood Caries' also known as 'baby bottle tooth decay,' which can be avoided with early prevention and home care.
An important part of caring for your child 's teeth is diet. Reducing the amount of sugary snacks and drinks will greatly help prevent tooth decay, as will teaching your child to drink from a cup after his or her first birthday. Consumption of sugary drinks from a bottle has been linked to 'bottle caries' and should be avoided.

Have been a long term patient of this dental practice, for good reason. The staff are warm and welcoming, while still professional and efficient. Dr Black has a way of explained dental concerns that is informative but also understandable from a layperson's point of view. He is both positive and encouraging.

I love Dr Black, his staff, even his building and its location. I have lived all over the US and am no stranger to the dental chair - for many reasons - and visited many dentists in my lifetime. I come back to Dr Black whenever I can and schedules align with flight availability as I travel from Seattle for my visits with him. I trust him like no other! He's the very best. Communicates what he's doing, what he's thinking and what he has to do. He's a beautiful Christian soul working as the hands of God. Everyone who works for him is so kind - and so blessed.
