Slide into our kid-friendly dental location
From the huge slide and iPad games in our waiting area, to the movies on the ceiling during their exams, every part of Smiles in Motion is created for kids. We actually make it fun to go to the dentist! It’s all part of our patient-centered approach, a true patient-first mentality that helps build positive attitudes about dental care. We realize that it’s a privilege to care for your child, and we work hard to give you both an exceptional experience from start to finish.
We can’t wait to meet you! Here’s what you can expect
Infant visit (age one)
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends seeing a dentist for the first time by age one–even the tiniest of teeth need professional care. Your pediatric specialist will assess the growth and development of your child’s mouth (including any thumb-sucking or pacifier habits) and provide tips to help you keep their smile clean and healthy.
Toddlers and preschoolers
We do not expect your child to sit in a dental chair on their own or fully cooperate until at least preschool age, and it’s perfectly normal for young children to cry. Don’t worry, we’ve got this! Your care provider will likely perform a lap-to-lap or knee-to-knee examination with a parent or caregiver’s help, providing reassurance along the way.
Elementary to young adult
These are critical years for building a positive attitude about dental care, so we do everything we can to make your child feel welcome and comfortable during their visit. Your pediatric dentist will explain things in age-appropriate terms and show the instruments they’ll be using. And of course, parents are always welcome in the room.
