Dental Home
What is a Dental Home?
We are committed to the concept of providing a "Dental Home" for your child, one place to take care of all of your children's dental needs.
Establishing a "Dental Home" means that your child's oral health care is delivered in a comprehensive, continuously accessible, coordinated and family-centered way by a licensed dentist. The concept of the Dental Home reflects the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's clinical guidelines and best principles for the proper delivery of oral health care to all children, with a concentration on infant/age one patients. The Dental Home enhances the our ability to assist children and their parents in the quest for optimum oral health care, beginning with the age one dental visit for successful preventive care and treatment as part of an overall oral health care foundation. Additionally, the establishment of the Dental Home will include referral to other dental specialists when we cannot provide the needed care.

First Dental Home

We are certified with the State of Texas as a "First Dental Home" (FDH) provider. FDH is a program designed to improve the oral health for children between 6 and 35 months of age. We believe the first years of life are crucial to the prevention of oral disease. They offer a window of opportunity to intervene and prevent disease. We will evaluate your child's individual risk factors, perform a dental prophylaxis, discuss oral hygiene options, apply topical fluoride varnish, evaluate the developing dentition, discuss trauma prevention, and develop a preventive plan.
As a pediatric dentist we are also able to intervene with dental treatment if necessary. Young children under age three may already suffer from devastating dental caries, called early childhood caries.
If necessary we are prepared and competent to treat this decay and will be happy to discuss your treatment options.
