Pediatric Dentist Serving the Quad Cities

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth, whichever comes first. Starting early helps build healthy habits and gives your child time to get comfortable with us early the journey.

Just like a pediatrician is the primary care specialist in medicine for children, a pediatric dentist is the primary care specialist in dentistry for kids. Just like pediatricians, pediatric dentists are thoroughly and rigorously trained on what makes pediatric patients so special. We understand the science and artistry of providing comprehensive, customized, and compassionate care to pediatric patients. Our office, our equipment, and our approach are all designed with kids in mind.

The first visit is all about getting to know your child and helping them feel comfortable. We’ll do a gentle exam, talk with you about your child’s dental health, and answer any questions you have. No pressure. Just a chance to start building trust.

We go slow, we stay calm, and we celebrate every brave moment. Our team is trained to help children feel safe and in control. We use simple language, show them what we’re going to do, and never rush. Most kids surprise themselves with how well they do.

Most children benefit from visits every six months. This lets keep their teeth clean and reinforce good habits at home. It also gives us the ability to catch small concerns early. Some kids may need to come more often depending on their needs.

We accept most PPO dental insurance plans as an out-of-network specialty provider. Our team will help you understand your benefits and file claims on your behalf. We’re happy to answer questions about cost before any visit.

Call us right away. We do our very best to make room for emergencies and will get your child seen as quickly as possible, often the same day or the next day. If it’s after hours, our voicemail will guide you on what to do next.

Yes. We have experience and training in caring for children with a wide range of developmental, sensory, and medical needs. Every child deserves excellent dental care, and we’ll work with you to make visits as comfortable as possible.

Keep it simple and positive. Let them know we're friendly, that we'll count their teeth and make them sparkle, and that it's going to be a fantastic experience where they get stickers and a prize. Avoid words like "pain" and "hurt." Definitely avoid the word "shot" - we don't have a liquor license, and we're firmly against underage drinking. Again, please keep it simple and positive. We'll handle the rest.
