Why is Dentistry For Kids So Special?
We provide specialized pediatric dentistry for children and adolescents in a very child-friendly environment. Our goal? A health smile that will last each child we treat a lifetime.
Comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral dental care for infants, children and adolescents is a bit part of what we do here at Waterville Family Dentistry. We put all of our knowledge and experience to work for you and your family, caring for children’s teeth, gums and mouth throughout their lives.
As kids lose their baby teeth, then later begin to lose teeth again as adult teeth grow in, they need comprehensive care throughout this years-long process. We’ll monitor constantly to make sure they are healthy and we’ll jump in to ward off problems early before they become issues your kids will deal with for the rest of their lives, including oral decay and disease.
Whether infants, older children, or teenagers, your kids’ dental health is one of the most important gifts a parent has to offer their offspring. We help make the entire process easier on parents and kids.
From the moment you and our young patients step into our space in Waterville, you’ll know we care about you because we’re here to make you feel comfortable and satisfied with both the results and cost of your family dental health visit. For kids more than anyone, regular dental exams and preventative care are so important: let us help you take your kids’ dental health seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pediatric Dentistry Services:
Here at Waterville Family Dentistry we understand, as parents you are likely to have questions regarding your child’s dental and overall health.

Q: When Should I Make My Child’s First Dental Appointment?
A: The American Dental Association recommends that children go to the dentist as soon as their first teeth start to break through their gums. This usually occurs at 6 months old.
Q: How Often Should My Child Go To The Dentist?
A: We recommend that children should see the dentist two times every year for a routine check-up. These routine yearly visits allow us to catch any form of dental problems quickly and efficiently before they spread and cause significant damage.
Q: Are Dental X-Rays Safe For My Kids?
A: You may have heard that dental x-rays use varying amounts of radiation, and the lead lined bib may make you a little worried about your child’s safety. However, it is important for parents to understand that the radiation used in dental x-rays is significantly less than medical x-rays that are found in hospitals or doctors offices. Our dental x-rays are scientifically proven to be safe and effective for use. The use of x-rays can help dentists make sure your child’s teeth are coming in healthy and help find early signs of tooth decay or infection.
Q: What Should I Do If My Child Knocks Out A Tooth?
A: Children over time are expected to lose their baby teeth. However, knocking out a tooth that was not ready to fall out may require a trip to the dentist. If your child experiences a dental emergency such as a knocked out tooth you should call us immediately.
Q: When Should My Kids Get Braces?
A: When and if your child gets braces depends on a lot of factors. For some children, braces are necessary to fix severe alignment issues. For other children they might not need braces other than for cosmetic solutions like closing a small tooth gap.
