Children's Dentistry

Our dentists believe that a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear. The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.

Our Providers and team love caring for each patient, and work hard to make sure each child is spoken to gently, treated with respect, and cared for as if they were our own child. We use simple words to explain procedures to our patients and make sure each parent or guardian is aware of the process as well.


Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)

Silver Diamine Fluoride, or SDF, is a safe, noninvasive treatment that can stop decay in its tracks postponing the need for a permanent restoration, at least for a little while.

Pulp Therapy

Root canals on baby teeth can relieve a child’s pain and preserve a tooth until it’s ready to come out on its own. Our doctors can help you decide if a baby root canal is right for your child.

Tooth-colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings offer a durable, more natural looking option for your child’s restorations. Made from composite resin, they are strong, durable, and perfect for smaller teeth.

Tooth Extractions

While we focus on helping your child keep their teeth for a lifetime, sometimes an extraction is necessary. Whether it’s extensive decay, overcrowding or an impacted tooth, Dr. Jonathan Patrick and Dr. Nancy Shen can help you and your child understand the procedure and answer any questions you have.
