Kid-Friendly Dental Visits That Set the Right Foundation
Our children’s dentistry services are designed to make kids feel safe, relaxed, and even excited about visiting the dentist. From toddlers to teens, we take the time to explain everything at their level — helping reduce fear and build confidence.
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. From there, we create a preventive care plan that grows with them.
Pediatric dental services include:
- First dental visits & infant oral exams
- Cleanings & fluoride treatments
- Protective Dental Sealants
- Cavity prevention & early intervention
- Education on brushing, flossing & nutrition
- Space maintainers and bite monitoring
- Gentle emergency care for kids
We understand that some children may be especially nervous, have sensory sensitivities, or need extra support. Our calm, reassuring approach — and years of experience — make all the difference.
A Dental Team That Understands Kids
At Tilger Center for Dentistry, our entire team is trained to work with children in a way that’s supportive, compassionate, and truly child-centered. We treat each child like one of our own — with patience, positivity, and respect.
We also welcome children with medical conditions or special needs. If your child has anxiety about dental care, we’re happy to discuss behavior-guided approaches or even Sedation Dentistry for future visits when appropriate.
You can trust us to:
- Monitor their development
- Catch small problems early
- Keep visits short, positive, and engaging
- Partner with you to build healthy habits at home

FAQs About Children’s Dentistry
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends the first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth coming in.
How often should kids have dental checkups?
Just like adults, kids should visit the dentist every 6 months for cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments to prevent cavities.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes. We use digital X-rays with extremely low radiation, only when necessary, and always with protective shielding.
How do I help my child feel less afraid of the dentist?
Talk positively about the visit, read books about going to the dentist, and let us know if your child is nervous — we’ll take extra care to create a calm, friendly experience.
Do baby teeth really matter if they fall out anyway?
Absolutely. Healthy baby teeth are essential for speech, chewing, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Decay in baby teeth can lead to pain or infection if untreated.
