We believe a child’s early dental experiences shape their relationship with oral care for years to come. At Lumos, our approach to pediatric dentistry is warm, playful, and reassuring — helping little ones feel safe, seen, and heard. Whether it’s a toddler’s first visit, preventive care, or treating tiny cavities, our team knows how to turn dental appointments into positive, trust-building moments. With tailored techniques and lots of patience, we treat children not just as small patients, but as growing individuals who deserve kindness and clarity. From the waiting room to the dental chair, every detail is designed with your child’s comfort in mind.
Infant Oral Health Exams (First Dental Visit)
The very first dental check-up, recommended by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth eruption. This visit establishes a dental home and helps prevent early dental issues.
Education for Kids and Parents on Oral Hygiene
Essential guidance on proper brushing, flossing, nutrition, and habits to prevent cavities and promote lifelong oral health — provided early and reinforced at every visit.
Gentle Cleaning and Fluoride Treatments
Routine professional cleanings and fluoride application help prevent cavities and strengthen enamel, typically starting from early childhood.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
A screening (around age 7) to detect jaw growth or bite issues early, potentially preventing more severe orthodontic problems later.
Habit-Breaking Appliances (Thumb-Sucking, Tongue Thrust)
Custom devices used to stop harmful oral habits that can affect jaw development and tooth alignment.
Tooth-Colored Fillings for Baby Teeth
Used to restore decayed baby teeth in a natural-looking way while preserving function and appearance.
Stainless Steel Crowns for Primary Molars
Durable crowns used to restore baby molars that are too damaged for fillings — commonly used after large cavities or pulp therapy.
Pulp Therapy (Pulpotomy or Pulpectomy)
Treatment for infected or inflamed pulp in baby teeth, similar to a root canal, to save the tooth until it’s naturally ready to fall out.
Space Maintainers for Early Tooth Loss
Devices that hold space open when a baby tooth is lost too early, preventing crowding and helping permanent teeth come in correctly.
Trauma Management in Children
Emergency care and treatment for dental injuries, such as broken or knocked-out teeth, common in active children.
