A first visit sets the tone for life. So we make it calm, unhurried, and a little bit fun.

Treated as our own

Every child gets the same care we would want for ours, from the first cleaning to the last check.

Calm for anxious kids

We offer sedation and general anesthesia so nervous children can get the treatment they need.

Careful sterilization

We use the best equipment sterilization techniques available, at both offices, every single day.

Se habla Espanol

Bilingual staff at both offices, so every family can ask questions in the language they think in.

What the waiting room actually looks like

Kids play video games while they wait. During treatment they pick a movie, or watch the Casey Clubhouse education video that walks them through what is about to happen. It sounds small. It is the reason children who were afraid on day one ask to come back.

  • Movies during treatment, by request
  • Text and call appointment reminders
  • Forms and insurance details before you arrive

Full service pediatric dentistry

Preventive appliances, restorative work, and sedation options, all under one roof at both offices.

Preventive care

Cleanings, oral hygiene coaching, sealants, and space maintainers. The routine work that keeps small problems from turning into big ones.

What parents tell us afterwards

“He was afraid to go to the dentist at first, but once he got there and played the video games it helped ease his anxiety. The staff take their time with him and always provide excellent care. He loves going there now.”

D Dichelle S., parent

“My children come to Associated Children's Dentistry and I am very satisfied with their services. Everyone at the office is friendly and always gets me in and out on time. I love that they have bilingual staff as well. I definitely recommend Dr. Wood and staff to all my family and friends.”
