Healthy smiles start early — and parents play the biggest role!Early dental habits help children:
✔️ Prevent cavities
✔️ Feel confident at dental visits
✔️ Build routines that last a lifetimeHow parents can guide healthy habits:
• Start brushing as soon as the first tooth appears
• Brush twice daily (parents help until around age 6–7)
• Use the right amount of toothpaste for your child's age
• Make brushing fun with songs, timers, or reward charts
• Schedule regular dental checkupsSmall daily habits now lead to strong, healthy smiles later.Let's build healthy routines together!

Did you know dentistry has a historical symbol of strength and resilience? 🦷St. Apollonia is the patron saint of dentistry due to her connection to teeth and oral health. Today, she serves as a reminder of how far dental care has come—and why patient comfort, precision, and compassion remain at the heart of what we do!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Auburn Pediatric
Dentistry FAQs

We provide quick answers for busy parents so you can feel prepared before you arrive. Little teeth, big smiles, and ocean-sized care are what we are all about.

When Should My Child See The Dentist For The First Time?

We recommend a visit for your child by their first birthday or within 6 months of the first tooth. Whichever comes first is the perfect time to start building healthy habits.

What If My Child Is Anxious About The Dentist?

You are not alone in wondering how to help your child feel comfortable. We use calm, kid-friendly coaching and can discuss comfort options, including sedation therapy, when it is the right fit.

Do You Offer Conservative Cavity Options For Young Kids?

Yes, we absolutely do offer minimally invasive approaches. In some cases, we may recommend options like Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to help protect teeth with less invasive care.

PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Strong Teeth Start Here

From cleanings and exams to fluoride and sealants, we focus on prevention first. We make sure small teeth stay strong, and growing smiles stay on track.

Prevention Comes First

“Dr. Derrow and her ENTIRE team are amazing. We have taken our kids several times now and they are always excited to go and talk about it for days after.”

SEDATION THERAPY

Stress-Free Dentistry For Kids

For kids who need extra support, we create a reassuring experience with age-appropriate comfort options. We focus on step-by-step communication with parents to ensure peace of mind.

Comfort Options

“Amazing care! I brought my child here and the staff was so kind and gentle with her. The staff was very helpful and my daughter loved their office.”
