Expert Care for Your Child’s Healthy, Happy Smile

Welcome to Kids Rock Dentistry and Orthodontics! We’re passionate about giving kids a great start on their dental journey. Our team specializes in fun, gentle, and expert care tailored just for children—from babies to teens.

Why Pediatric Dentistry Matters

Healthy teeth help children chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Pediatric dentistry focuses on building lifelong habits and preventing issues early, giving your child the best chance for a bright dental future.

What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentists receive specialized training to care for growing smiles. They understand how kids develop physically and emotionally—and they use that knowledge to provide care that’s both effective and comforting.

At Kids Rock Dentistry and Orthodontics, we treat:

  • Infants and toddlers
  • School-aged children
  • Pre-teens and teens

We also help parents navigate teething, brushing, thumb-sucking, and more.

When Should My Child Visit the Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth coming in. Early visits help prevent problems and create a positive experience from the start.

👉 Pro Tip: Schedule check-ups every 6 months to keep little smiles on track!

At-Home Tips for Healthy Smiles

  • 🪥 Brush early and often: Start with a soft cloth on the gums. Use a soft brush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste as teeth appear.
  • 👀 Supervise brushing: Help your child until they can brush effectively on their own (usually around age 6–7).
  • 🍎 Snack smart: Choose tooth-friendly snacks like cheese, veggies, and fresh fruit.
  • 💧 Stay hydrated: Water—especially fluoridated water—helps rinse away food and bacteria.
