- NVNayda’s Vida3 days ago5.0The office was very nice and all staff from receptionist to the doctors were very friendly and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend families to come and experience this amazing dentist!
- TSTraci StackApr 1, 20261.0You can’t get anyone on the phone here. I waited on hold for 20 minutes and gave up and left a voicemail that has still not been returned.
- RFRenee FriedMar 30, 20262.0I was disappointed with our experience at dentistry for children Lakewood location . The environment did not feel very kid-friendly, especially for younger children. During my 2-year-old’s appointment, my child was clearly distressed and crying, and even after I asked the hygienist to stop brushing, she continued. That was very uncomfortable for me as a parent. I hope they can improve their approach to make visits more gentle and responsive to young children’s needs.
- NMN MMar 26, 20265.0The whole experience was cool to watch. The dentist and hygienist worked amazingly together
- MKMichelle KinraichMar 19, 20261.0I had an awful experience with Dr. Jimmy. He does not belong in a practice that specializes with children. The other dentists in this practice are really nice. Jimmy is disgusting and no one should book an appointment with him.

Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to cavities. Dental sealants are a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for molars, which are hardest to reach.

Choose a child’s toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles. You can choose a manual or electric toothbrush.
When should I start flossing my child’s teeth?
Start flossing your child's teeth when you notice their teeth touching. Floss your child's teeth for them until they are old enough to do so themselves, which usually happens by age six or seven. It is recommended that parents should still help and supervise with flossing until the age of ten.
My child plays sports, how can I protect their teeth?
Even children’s sports involve contact, and we recommend mouthguards for children active in sports. If your little one plays baseball, soccer, or other sports, ask your dentist about having a custom-fitted mouthguard made to protect their teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums.
What causes toothaches?
There are many different factors that can cause tooth discoloration. An abnormally colored tooth is anything other than the yellowish-white to the white color of normal teeth. The factors that contribute to tooth color include congenital conditions, genetics, infections, and environmental factors. Abnormal color and shape may be caused by a malfunction in body processes. Some of these factors can influence the way your child’s enamel is formed, while others simply stain the enamel. Teeth may be uniformly discolored or it may appear as spots or lines in enamel. In addition, discolored areas may have a different density and porosity than normal enamel. The color and hardness of enamel can also be affected by drugs or medications taken by either the child during the time of tooth development or by the mother while pregnant.
At what age should my child stop thumb-sucking?
Thumb sucking is a normal habit for many children. Its peak occurrence is at about age two and it can be an important source of pleasure for an infant or toddler. This habit is usually nothing to worry about since your child will usually outgrow the habit. However, if they continue to suck their thumb past age 4, dental problems such as malocclusion may occur.
