Pediatric dentistry
Gentle first visits that build lifelong trust.
Family appointments for children six and older, with sealants, fluoride and plenty of time to ask questions.
Overview
Many of our adult patients bring their children, and we book family visits back to back so everyone is seen in one trip. Children's appointments are longer than usual, which lets Dr. Raman explain each instrument, count teeth together and keep the pace relaxed.
We focus on prevention: sealants on new molars, fluoride varnish where it helps and practical coaching for parents on brushing, snacks and sports guards. When orthodontic concerns appear, we monitor growth and refer to a trusted specialist at the right moment.
What is included
- Gentle exam and cleaning
- Fluoride varnish when recommended
- Sealants for permanent molars
- Low-dose digital X-rays when needed
- Growth and bite monitoring
- Custom sports mouthguards
