Is it time for your childs first checkup? Its a good idea to get them in early rather than wait. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that parents take children to a pediatric dentist by their first birthday. Doing so ensures the best possible oral health for your child.
If youre a resident of Draper and are looking for a caring and professional pediatric dentist, dont hesitate to give Southridge Pediatric Dentistry a look. Well take excellent care of your little ones dental needs.
Some parents dont worry too much about decay in their childs baby teeth. After all, primary teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth, they reason. The problem, however, is that decay in baby teeth could mean a higher risk of decay in the permanent teeth. And if the cavities become severe, they can pose safety risks and harm the overall health of the child. Additionally, severely decayed primary teeth can lead to nutritional deficiencies if a child cannot eat properly.
Here at Southridge Pediatric Dentistry, we place great importance on taking care of childrens teeth from the moment they erupt. In fact, we subscribe to the American Dental Associations recommendation that the first dental visit of a child must take place within six months after their first baby tooth comes in. Plus, taking your young kids on regular trips to the dentist will help instill in them the importance of proper oral hygieneand this will likely lead to a lifetime of good dental health.
Led by board-certified pediatric dentists, our practice provides dental X-rays and oral evaluations to monitor the teeth and jaw development of your child and to check the teeth for any signs of cavities and other potential oral problems. We also provide pediatric fluoride and sealant treatment to lower the risk of tooth decay.
We provide tooth decay removal, white fillings, and other dental services that will restore your childs oral health as early as now. Our dentists will also offer tips and advice to help you encourage your child to observe healthy dental care habits. This, in turn, will help to prevent dental caries, which will lessen the need for restorative dental services in the future.
With over two decades of pediatric experience, our team is warm and insightful towards any special needs your kid may have. If your child cant calm down for a procedure, for instance, we will offer sedation and other relaxation techniques. We also provide hospital dentistry for patients that require medical care while having a dental procedure.

The whole staff but especially Dr. Farnsworth were outstanding for the extraction of my sons teeth. He had some special circumstances to consider and Dr. Farnsworth was very thorough and considerate of all his needs. We felt confident we were in the best hands! Highly recommend!

Dr. Farnsworth is my children's and grand children's and great niece's and nephew's dentist. He is not only a great dentist, he is a wonderful, friendly, and kind person. He explains things well to the children and parents. The office staff are nice and friendly. The children all like to go to the dentist there. They like Dr. Farnsworth, they like getting to watch a movie there while their teeth are worked on, they like picking a prize from the treasure chest, and getting a new toothbrush and little tube of toothpaste while there. I appreciate Dr. Farnsworth so much for making visits to the dentist there such a positive and fun experience!

The dental hygienists here are so sweet with these kids. They are so patient. My son let them clean his teeth. My son needed some dental work done and Dr. Roth was so kind and generous with his time to work my son in the day of. De Roths demeanor is so calm with children. He helps them feel safe. He knows how to give constructive feedback to the kids in such a gentle way.

Dr. Roth and staff are amazing!!! My daughter refuses to see anyone else. We moved and aren't as close, but the 20 minute drive is more than worth it. We've been going there for 22 years, since my oldest was 2. I trust them and so do my kids. When they actually like going to the dentist you know you've found a keeper.
