Pediatric

Dentistry for children brings on new challenges. Dr. Johnsen has introduced dentistry to many children, and has seen tremendous success when treatment was necessary. The key to proper management of children is starting off on the right foot. We do our best to encourage stress free, pain free dentistry.

Pediatric procedures

Sealants on permanent teeth, which seal the grooves in the back teeth for prevention of tooth decay
Tooth cleanings and exams
Professional fluoride treatments to help keep teeth healthy
Restoring decayed teeth to maintain space until the adult teeth erupt

Expectations

Establishing trust and security is the key to good pediatric dentistry. We try to make the child's first visit little more than a joy ride in the dental chair, which gives us an opportunity to create a positive impression on the child. We hope to establish a lifelong relationship with the child, so the only teeth they ever lose will be their baby teeth.
