HIRES DENTAL

Children's Dentistry
The road to healthy teeth and gums should start early in a child’s life. In addition to establishing a regular brushing routine with your children, it is important they have regular dental checkups twice a year. As a parent, Dr. Hires and his staff understand the difficulties parents face in maintaining children’s dental habits. If your child is 3 years of age or older, we have an established program to ensure that both the parents and children receive the education needed. This includes the use of friendly procedures like no shot laser restorations and training on proper brushing and flossing techniques.

To help ensure the first visit is a positive experience, we begin with a “happy visit” to introduce and allow the child to become familiar with the dental office, staff and instruments used during the cleaning process.

While many dental facilities do not allow parents to accompany their child during appointments, Dr. Hires encourages involvement for an ideal outcome of the dental visit.
