PEDIATRIC
DENTISTRY
Everyone on our staff strives to make each visit to Great Whites a positive experience. It starts with your child’s first visit. We (and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) recommend that your child’s first dental visit occur by the time he or she turns one.
We spend the first thirty minutes with your child becoming friends, building trust, answering questions and melting anxieties.
ORTHODONTICS
No matter how comfortable your child is with the dentist, braces can open up a whole new world of concerns for them. At Great Whites we take the same caring approach to your first orthodontic exam that we do with every other aspect of your child’s dental care.
BABIES
Great Whites and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend your child’s first dental visit be before his/her first birthday. Don’t think because “baby” teeth fall out they’re not important.
A SPECIAL
KIND OF
HAPPY
We use an individualized approach to help children of all abilities and sensitivities to better tolerate (and even enjoy!) a trip to the dentist.

"My son needed dental work at a very young age and was traumatized by another dentist. No dentist we took him to was willing to work on him without anesthesia. After going to seven pediatric dentists, Dr. Dawn was able to do all the work without putting him under. He was completely at ease with her. It was such a relief… as a mom, I couldn’t have asked for more. She is by far the BEST!!" - Raquel M.

"We have never had a negative experience at Great Whites. My kids have been going there since they were 2 years old, and now they are 10 and 12. My younger one has some pretty significant sensory issues. They worked so patiently with her, making sure she had the same technician each time. Some early appointments she let them brush one tooth and that was enough! Now she doesn’t even need me in there with her. They are the best!" - Sara T.
