A Dental Office That Provides Pediatric Dentistry

It is common for parents to wait until their children are older before taking them to the dentist, but it is actually a good idea to bring infants in for an evaluation. It is suggested that children have their first dental visit when their first tooth comes in or by their first birthday. After that, regular appointments every six months are ideal for establishing a long-term relationship with a pediatric dental practice.

At Best Smiles, we offer alternative options to traditional orthodontic treatment, such as clear dental aligners like Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and Smile Shapers. This method is particularly suitable for older children, teenagers, and adults who are able to comply with the treatment requirements for optimal results. Children who may require orthodontic treatment in the future will be assessed during an evaluation to determine if they are suitable candidates for clear aligners or if they have severe misalignment that necessitates traditional braces. In cases where traditional braces are needed, our dentist in Richmond will make a referral to a trusted orthodontic specialist in the area.
