Preventative Visits

We have two dental assistants who, along with Dr. Port, perform the cleanings for your child. Our office recommends “cleaning/preventative” visits every 6 months unless the doctor discusses other arrangements. These visits allow us to monitor growth and development, help prevent tooth decay or detect tooth decay before it causes pain, and maintain good overall health. We are also developing a relationship with your child that will help to prevent anxiety and, in the long run, lead to better overall health.
