Growing Grins welcomes infants and toddlers with extra-gentle care, clear guidance for parents, and a low-stress experience for everyone involved.

Most children benefit from dental visits every six months. These regular checkups allow us to clean their teeth, monitor growth and development, and catch small issues before they become bigger problems.

We personalize dental treatments based on your child’s age, risk factors, and oral health goals.

Some signs that your child may need a dental checkup include:

• Tooth discoloration or sensitivity
• Persistent bad breath
• Thumb-sucking or prolonged pacifier use
• Delayed tooth eruption or overcrowding
• Complaints of mouth or jaw pain
• Trouble nursing or feeding in infants

If you notice any of these symptoms, our team is here to help with gentle, thorough care.

While both care for teeth, pediatric dentists like Dr. Ashlee complete additional years of specialized training in child development, behavior guidance, and complex pediatric oral health needs.

Our office is designed specifically for children, with colorful décor, calming touches, and kid-friendly tools, so your child feels comfortable and confident at every visit.

To make your child’s first visit a positive experience:

• Use upbeat, simple language when talking about the dentist

• Let your child bring a comfort toy or blanket
• Reassure them that we’re here to help keep their smile healthy and strong

We’re happy to give a tour or answer any questions before the appointment.

Children often experience oral health challenges such as:

• Early childhood cavities (baby bottle tooth decay)

We offer tooth-colored fillings and crowns, using needle-free techniques and sedation when needed, to keep your child healthy and comfortable.
