Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy helps children develop proper oral muscle function to support healthy breathing, swallowing, speech, and facial growth. Through fun, simple exercises, we teach kids how to use their tongue, lips, and cheeks correctly—often improving issues like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, or poor oral posture. This gentle, non-invasive therapy can enhance dental and orthodontic results while promoting long-term oral health and overall well-being.

A Peek at our Pediatric Dental Services

This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment whose children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.

Preventive Dentistry

This includes children’s fillings, crowns and prosthesis, including treatment of the often devastating nursing bottle decay.  Our doctors are committed to discussing all options before these procedures and answering all questions you may have.  Always working for the goal of a healthy smile is our first priority.

While our goal is to prevent dental emergencies, we understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary and can be a stressful experience for both parents and children.  We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion.
