Dental Specialist dedicated to infants, children, adolescents & children with special healthcare needs.
Throughout our lives, we will have two sets of teeth: primary (baby) teeth and secondary (permanent) teeth. At age 6-8 months, the primary teeth appear; all 20 are in place by age 3.
Permanent teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and except for wisdom teeth, are all present between ages 12 and 14. The next teeth to grow in are the 12-year molars, and finally the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth typically begin breaking through from age 17. The total number of permanent teeth is 32, though few people have room for all 32 teeth. This is why wisdom teeth are usually removed.
Your front teeth are called incisors. The sharp “fang-like” teeth are canines. The next side teeth are referred to as pre-molars or bicuspids, and the back teeth are molars. Your permanent teeth are the ones you keep for life, so it is vital that they are brushed and flossed regularly and that periodic check-ups by a dentist are performed.

Everyone is wonderful.
They have always been very kind to each of my children, always making them comfortable.
I initially chose this dentist after checking 4 different dental offices for my son, then 1yr old, who has Asperger’s syndrome. Dr. Ron was so kind that my son did as he asked.
12 yrs later, they are still wonderful.

Kind, patient, and knowledgeable pediatric practice!
So glad we found Dr. Ron’s practice after a few other tries around town.
His staff, especially Rebecca’s hygiene team, really knew how to engage our kiddos (6 and 8) and make them comfortable in what had previously been one of their least favorite experiences. Their experience is evident.
We’ve found our pediatric dental home.

Amazing service and care with my 7 year old.
We were patients at another local office and had an unpleasant experience. We came here for a second opinion.
Service was great, no tears by my 7 year old and it was significantly less expensive.

Everyone on the staff is incredibly friendly and great with children.
I love the way they talk to my kids and do everything possible to help keep them comfortable during their visit but also the way they keep me in the loop and explain what’s going on, too.
I couldn’t ask for a better pediatric dental experience.

Everyone working at this office is exceptionally kind. Dr. Ron did a great job explaining options and our care plan.
Cheryl at checkout was thorough and made sure I understood next steps.
We will continue using their services, as I liked how we were treated.
