A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation

Healthy smiles are an important part of your child’s development, continuing through their teenage years and into adulthood. However, it’s not always easy to manage the busy family lifestyle. Between work, school, and everything else, it can sometimes feel like there’s no time to breathe.

We want your trips to the dentist to be as smooth and effortless as possible. We are happy to accommodate your busy family with flexible hours and appointments that can be scheduled together.

As your child grows, they will pass many dental care milestones, including their first appointment, losing baby teeth, getting adult teeth, and eventually visiting the dentist by themselves to maintain their routine care. We are excited to be part of each new step.

Our Children’s Dentistry services

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your child will start cutting their first teeth around six months. It is recommended that children visit the dentist by the age of one or within six months of getting their first tooth. If you suspect something might be wrong or if your child is experiencing discomfort or pain, please book an appointment as soon as possible. It’s never too late for a child to have their first dental appointment.

Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. Parents should understand that baby teeth do much more than hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth. They influence how a child’s face appears, how they smile, and how often they smile. Children who are free to develop confidence and smile brightly during their early years tend to carry those habits with them. Dental pain, even mild pain that children learn to live with, can negatively impact their eating habits, including how they chew, what foods they prefer, and how much food they eat.

The length of the appointment depends on the child’s needs and how cooperative they feel during the exam. On average, the appointment lasts about one hour.

Your toddler, child, or teen should visit the dentist as often as you do. We recommend a checkup and cleaning every six months unless otherwise specified. If your child has a tooth or jaw ache, if you notice them rubbing or nursing their jaw frequently, or if they avoid hard or cold foods, please book an appointment sooner.

A cavity is a hole in the tooth that grows larger over time. A cavity may or may not cause pain or sensitivity. It is important to repair cavities before they become more serious or lead to infection, even in baby teeth! Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque, and they worsen with sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Some people are more prone to cavities than others.

Your mouth isn’t just about your teeth. It’s a complete system, including the teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, and bone. When one part of your oral health suffers, the whole mouth can be affected. Swollen, itchy, sore, or bleeding gums can be an early sign of a much more serious problem.

We understand how hectic family life can be! We are happy to serve your entire family by booking multiple appointments side by side. Give us a call, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

I’ve been coming to Brush Dental for over 4 years now and they always do such a good job. Everyone here is super nice and helpful. They even helped me find a place to get my braces done so I could feel more confident about my smile. Definitely recommend them!

I have been a patient of Dr Teerlink at Brush dental for years. I have always appreciated his honesty, integrity, and in his dental work and skill as a dentist. My experience during my last appointment at Brush dental was fantastic! The gals at the front desk, Kim, Janessa, and Cybil were so friendly and helpful! Their new Hygienist, Sam, did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. She was very thorough and at the same time very gentle - my cleaning was absolutely pain-free! Sam is very friendly and nice and I really enjoyed visiting with her and getting to know her.
