Schedule a Pediatric Dentistry AppointmentWhat This Involves
First 5 minutes: conversation, not treatment. Dr. Marcus introduces himself and lets your child get comfortable.
The cleaning takes about 20 minutes for most kids. We go at your child's pace.
We use age-appropriate language and explanations. No surprises, no sudden movements.
Parents are welcome in the room for children under 10. For older kids, it's up to your child.
What This Can Help With
What Happens If I Do Nothing?
This is information, not pressure. What you do with it is your choice.
Children's teeth are more susceptible to decay than adult teeth. Small cavities in baby teeth can progress quickly.
Untreated cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and premature tooth loss — which can affect spacing for permanent teeth.
Missed orthodontic intervention windows. Some bite issues are best corrected during active growth phases that cannot be replicated later.
The Technology

What Parents Should Know
We take our time with kids who need it. The kids on the Little Vipers know Dr. Marcus from the diamond. They tend to be less nervous when they recognize a familiar face in the chair.
Parents in the room: For children under 10, parents are welcome and encouraged to stay. For older children, it's up to your child — many prefer a bit of independence.
If your child is nervous, tell us when you book. We have time for that.
