At 97 Smiles, we make dental visits positive and stress-free so kids can build healthy habits, and confident smiles, that last a lifetime.
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teens. It’s about more than fixing cavities, it’s about guiding growth, teaching healthy habits, and creating positive early experiences so kids feel safe at the dentist.
At 97 Smiles, we tailor our care to your child’s age and needs, from a toddler’s very first tooth to a teenager’s braces. Our kid-friendly team makes every visit supportive, engaging, and fun.
Healthy habits start young. Delaying dental care can lead to bigger (and costlier) problems later. Pediatric dentistry helps to:

Sealants, fluoride treatments, and early screenings to keep problems away.

And through it all, our team is here to answer questions, ease any concerns, and celebrate your progress with you.
