Dental care can pose unique challenges for some children. Our office not only provides a compassionate and welcoming environment, but we can offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or IV sedation for young patients with special needs or conditions that may make it difficult for them to sit in a dental chair.

Your child's first visit to our office is very important with regard to establishing their oral health baseline. We will begin by carefully reviewing medical and dental histories and taking special note of all dental concerns, as well as any symptoms that your child may be experiencing.
According to studies, children with poor oral health are more than three times as likely to miss school due to dental pain. The good news is that tooth decay is for the most part preventable. Scheduling regular checkups and cleanings for your child at the dentist is essential for maintaining their oral health.
When tooth structure is eaten away or otherwised damaged by dental decay, cracks or fractures, it can often be repaired by means of the placement of a dental filling. While traditional fillings were typically composed of amalgam, a mixture of different metals, today’s fillings are frequently tooth-colored.
The first set of teeth not only makes it possible for your baby to smile, eat, and speak, but they also play the critical role of serving as placeholders for the permanent teeth. When caring for your child's smile, it's essential to always keep in mind that baby teeth are just as susceptible as the permanent ones to decay.
Dr. Suzanne Clift loves working with children and has been working with children of all ages, infants through teenagers, her entire career. She understands children and will do everything she can to make your child's dental experience a pleasant one; including giving every child a small prize, stickers and a goodie bag after their visit. She is very patient with children and always tries to answer each child's questions with an answer they can understand and relate to. She helps each child understand the importance of clean teeth and good oral hygiene.
