Mitchell Dental Cares for Your Whole Family (No Matter How Small)

BABY TEETH MAY BE TEMPORARY, but they’re incredibly important!

Baby Teeth Are Essential To Future Development

Baby teeth perform many functions, including:

• Establishing proper nutrition through chewing and eating
• Assisting in speech development
• Keeping space for permanent teeth to develop evenly and healthily
• Building the groundwork for good oral health

Your Child’s Dental Foundation Matters Right NOW

We recommend kids come in on their first birthday or by their first tooth. During this appointment, our experienced doctors can make sure your child’s teeth are growing correctly. Bringing your child in at this age helps them feel more comfortable being in a dental clinic. We at Mitchell Dental are here to relieve and prevent pain as well as promote a healthy mouth. Early visits help ensure your child feels comfortable knowing that we are here to help him or her.

This is also the perfect time for parents to ask questions about how they can help promote a healthy mouth at home. At Mitchell Dental, you are welcome as the parent to stay with your child throughout their entire visit. We want to make sure both you and your child are comfortable throughout your entire visit.

We’re Experienced Working With Children

The staff at Mitchell Dental is well equipped to make your child’s appointment as easy as possible. Not only has Mitchell Dental been seeing both kids and adults since opening our doors in 1992, but we also have team members that have experience with pediatric-specific clinics. For example one of our hygienists,Abby Reeves joined us after four years in a pediatric clinic and knows how to make your child’s visit a great experience.

And after your child’s visit, they get a chance to go to the treasure chest to take home a toy for doing so well during his or her appointment.
