Dale Pediatric Dentistry

We know that emergencies always happen when you least expect them. That’s why we leave room in our schedule to see patients with dental emergencies the same day they call. We don’t want your child to have to wait in pain. You can call our office during business hours and Dr. Dale’s personal phone number after hours.

At Dale Pediatric Dentistry, we believe your child’s first line of defense is preventive care. A healthy smile starts with developing solid dental habits at an early age. Your child should:

• Brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes each time
• Floss once a day
• Avoid sugary food & drinks
• Wear a mouthguard when playing sports
• Visit the dentist twice a year for checkups

Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. A pediatric dentist receives at least two to three years of speciality training after dental school that focuses on taking care of children’s oral care from infancy to adolescence, including special needs patients.–Board Certified Pediatric Dentist is a Pediatric Dentist that has passed both a written and Oral boards exam provided by the AAPD that is recognized by their peers as a prestigious award.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, you should take your kiddo to the dentist by their first birthday or when they get their first tooth. It’s important that they get regular dental checkups every six months from then on to ensure they maintain healthy smiles.
