We love caring for your children’s dental health and are 100% committed to creating positive experiences for them, because kids that are comfortable at the dentist are much more likely to continue routine visits as they get older.

Dental exams are an important part of maintaining your child’s health and a cornerstone of our practice. Exams help us learn about your child’s teeth and oral health and help us determine the course of action we should take now and in the future.

When your child has a dental exam, we strive to make them feel comfortable and explain exactly what is happening and the sensations they will feel in ways that make sense to them, to develop trust between us and your child. Children can develop a fear of going to the dentist which is why we work so hard at putting them at ease during routine visits for exams and cleanings. Maintaining a regular dental exam schedule can help us catch problems while they are small and easy to fix.

Dr. Pollock specializes in pediatric dentistry and is an expert in knowing how to treat your children’s teeth and how to treat patients as individuals. That’s what sets us apart from other dentists, who might see kids a few times a month… we treat children every single day! Our team is focused on making sure every visit is stress-free and fun, so both you and your child actually enjoy your time at the dentist!

The Exam

During the dental exam, Dr. Pollock will examine your child’s teeth and gums for signs of issues like tooth decay and gum disease. We might also take X-rays to see beneath the teeth and gums to help us find dental issues not visible to the naked eye.

Routine dental exams:

• Prevent tooth decay and gum disease
• Help avoid costly and extensive dental procedures
• Keep teeth white with cleanings
• Shorten time spent in the dentist’s office
• Keep your children healthy!
