Whether it's your debut into parenthood or you've already been there a few times - nothing tops holding your newborn for the first time. During those formative years, your child relies heavily on you for loving and diligent care, including when it comes to their oral health.

Choosing a pediatric dentist to care for your children's oral healthcare needs can be a daunting decision. As parents we want to choose someone who has the education and clinical expertise in working with children to address their current oral health needs in a safe, positive and encouraging environment.

In terms of pediatric dentistry, preventative care is the best approach. We at Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry believe that a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime begins with regular dental checkups and cleanings from our professional staff. These checkups should begin at the beginning of your child’s development. This is the best defense against cavities and decay for both baby and primary teeth alike.
