Everyone on our team is passionate about your child’s dental wellness and overall well being. Our commitment is to look beyond the teeth and do everything we can to set your child up for a lifetime of good health. Our experience shows that proper facial development, a healthy airway and restorative sleep will help your child thrive.
Our mission at Beyond Pediatric Dentistry is to help kids and support parents in solving problems so that the family unit can function better. Healthy teeth and gums go hand in hand with healthy breathing. Properly developed jaws lead to restful, rejuvenating sleep.
Beyond Pediatric Dentistry is committed to finding the root cause of the problems they see in children. When it comes to treatments and patient health, we are very proactive. We want to address problems as early as possible. We are great teachers. We use simple and easy to understand language to explain problems in a way that kids and parents can understand.
