Services
Children's Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care and early intervention for children's oral health. We provide comprehensive exams, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect young smiles. Our team specializes in creating positive dental experiences that establish lifelong oral hygiene habits through age-appropriate education and gentle care techniques.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps children feel relaxed during dental procedures. We offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation options for patients with dental anxiety or special needs. Our experienced team ensures safe, monitored sedation that allows for efficient treatment while minimizing discomfort and stress for young patients.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Our hygienists use child-friendly techniques to make cleanings comfortable while educating patients on proper brushing and flossing habits. Regular cleanings every six months help maintain optimal oral health and detect potential issues early.
Space Maintainers
Space maintainers preserve proper tooth alignment when baby teeth are lost prematurely. Custom-fitted appliances prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into empty spaces, ensuring proper eruption of permanent teeth. Our team provides ongoing monitoring and adjustments to support healthy dental development and reduce future orthodontic needs.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt emergency dental care for knocked-out teeth, broken fillings, and other urgent oral health issues. Our on-call service offers after-hours assistance, with same-day appointments available for severe cases. Immediate treatment helps prevent complications and preserves dental health following accidents or sudden dental problems.

My son absolutely loves Tidal Smiles. They take such great care of us, and they are so good with kids. My son is four years old and they know exactly how to talk to him to make sure he has an enjoyable experience at the dentist. We love Jenny, and Dr. Winter so much!

Highly recommend! The Dental Assistant; Heather, was amazing with my toddler for her first dentist visit ever. My child was extremely nervous going in, but walked out with a smile on her face!

Dr. Winter and his staff were all great. From the moment I called and spoke to Tiara, she was very helpful, sweet and got us in right away. Our Asst. Tabitha was very nice and did so great with my son. Dr. Winter took his time and explained everything so well. We also had the opportunity to have Kara at check out and she helped explain all my insurance coverage. I would highly recommend this office.
