The Map
By department.
The practice groups its treatments the way its menu does. Every treatment named below has its own page, written for this practice and for a child.
01
Comprehensive pediatric dentistry
A lifetime of healthy teeth begins with good dental habits. The first visit, the six month rhythm, and care for children who need a different approach.
02
Preventive dentistry
Regular exams and professional cleanings can help to ensure optimal oral health. Most of what a child needs, most of the time, is here.
03
Restorative dentistry
When a cavity gets through, or a baby tooth has to go early. Tooth-colored fillings and the ways the practice keeps the space for the tooth that follows.
04
Orthodontics
An early look at how the bite is shaping up, treatment when the timing is right, and a retainer afterwards.
06
Sedation dentistry
Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
07
Cosmetic and gum care
Bonding for a chipped front tooth, and the two soft tissue procedures a child sometimes needs.
08
Emergency pediatric dentistry
If your child is in need of emergency dental care, please don’t hesitate to call our office. Knocked-out teeth, chips, lost crowns and soft tissue injuries, with instructions for the drive in.
The Finder
By what is wrong.
Most parents do not arrive with the name of a treatment. They arrive with a worry. This is where the practice would start with each one.
A first tooth has arrived
A first visitwithin six months, knee to knee
It has been more than six months
A dark spot, or a toothache
A knocked-out or broken tooth, right now
Teeth coming in crooked
A child who cannot sit still, or is frightened
A new sport this season
Grinding at night
By Age
By how old they are.
Ages are a guide, not a rule. The same team sees a child from the first tooth to the last day of school, and the care changes as they do.
The habit years
Every six months. Cleanings, fluoride, and sealants when the first molars arrive.
Losing teeth, growing teeth
Fillings if a cavity gets through, space maintainers if a tooth goes early, and an early look at the bite.
The busy years
A mouth guard for the season, orthodontics when the timing is right, and cleanings that keep up.
Nearly grown
Invisalign, a night guard if they grind, and the habits that are theirs now.
The Offers
What the first visit costs.
The practice publishes its new patient specials. They are restated here exactly as published; the front desk confirms what applies on the day.
A patient review
Dr. Nguyen was fantastic with my twin boys. She was very patient and put them at ease. The location was also easy to find and so was scheduling their appointments.
