Gentle Care for Growing Kids
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "dental home" for your child by the time they are 1 year old. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral care.
At Avery Family Dentistry, we adapt all treatments and services to meet your child’s needs. Whether it’s sedation options, special equipment or our overall gentle touch, we do everything in our power to help your child have a great dental experience. But proper dental care for your child is not only about fun. Dental needs are different for baby teeth and developing mouths. Our comprehensive exams include preventive care and oral hygiene instruction designed specifically for your child’s needs. We are invested in your child’s future health as much as you are! Enjoy the ease of having one dental home for your whole family.
Checkups and Preventive Care
At Avery Family Dentistry, we follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines, recommending that children have dental checkups every six months. If we identify multiple cavities or early orthodontic concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits. Each appointment focuses on preventive care designed to support your child’s long-term oral health and overall dental success.

Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
While prevention is our priority, even the healthiest kids can sometimes develop cavities. If your child needs a filling, we use safe, mercury-free, tooth-colored materials to restore their smile effectively and comfortably.

Dental Crowns for Children
If your child suffers from tooth decay or an oral injury, we may recommend a dental crown to protect and restore the affected tooth. We offer restorations for children aged 5 and up, including same-day crowns made with advanced CEREC technology. This means no temporary crowns and fewer appointments for your family.
Tooth Extractions for Kids
Sometimes, tooth removal is necessary—whether due to cavities, missing adult molars, or other oral health concerns. At Avery Family Dentistry, we provide preventive wisdom teeth extractions and specialize in safely removing impacted wisdom teeth to support your child’s overall health.

Sedation Dentistry for Children
For children who feel anxious, have special healthcare needs, or require extra comfort during dental treatments, we offer gentle sedation dentistry. Our compassionate dentists create personalized sedation plans tailored to each child’s unique needs and medical history, ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable visit.
