The Amierican Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommendeds the first dental check up at 1 year old or 6 months prior to the first tooth erruption. Regular check ups help you child stay cavity-free and it is important for your child's dental growth and development to be monitored. We recommend children under 3 years old to come in for a dental check-up once per year; children 3 years and older should have a dental check-up twice per year.

At Dakota Children's Denistry we have digital radiographs, allowing the staff to use a frcation of the raditation that would be necessary for traditional x-rays. Dental radiographs are generally taken around the age of 4 or 5 years old when spaces between the back molars close and Dr. Glenn is no longer able to see between the teeth with the naked eye.

If your child is anxious about dentistry, medically compromised, or faces developmental challenges, we are an excellent choice for his or her dental care. Our training, experience and dedication will help your child receive quality dental care in the manner best suited to their needs. Dr. Glenn has special training in helping children with special needs feel secure during dental treatment.

Sealants protect the gooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where most cavities in are found. Sealants are a preventative measure we recommend on the permanent molars ("6 year" and "12 year" molars). Sometimes Dr. Glenn will recommend sealants on primary molars (baby molars) if the child is at high risk for decay.
