Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child first see a pediatric dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by age 1 or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help us monitor development, spot any concerns early, and get your child comfortable with the practice. We truly believe in starting children off right when it comes to their dental health.

How far is the practice from Gulf Shores?

Our Spanish Fort practice is a direct drive north from Gulf Shores via Highway 59 and I-10, roughly 50 miles and about 50 minutes door to door. Many Gulf Shores families find the trip well worth it for specialized pediatric dental care.

Do you offer sedation for anxious children?

Yes. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help children relax during their appointment. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a safe blend of oxygen and a calming gas administered through a small mask placed over your child’s nose. For more involved cases, we also offer hospital dentistry options.
