Children are our specialty. We believe preventive dental care starts at the earliest of ages. Prevention is the key to a lifetime of good dental health and we encourage your child to be seen as early as six months of age.
Early preventive dental care and treatment has many advantages in establishing positive dental care beginning before your child’s first tooth. We want to protect your child’s smiles with early preventive dental care by starting positive and proper dental hygiene habits that last a lifetime.
Febres Dentistry for Children offers your children the care, expertise, knowledge and our years of experience to ensure your child’s dental visits are pleasant, positive and enlightening. We love healthy-bright smiles!

FAQs
Does my child really need oral sedation?
Can I wait until the baby teeth fall off on their own?
Everybody is under the impression that they fall anyway so why fixing them? There are several reasons why we would like to preserve them healthy.
1) They save the space for the permanent teeth. If they are loose prematurely, then the permanent teeth will come out crooked.
2) They help the child bite their food.
3) They need to be healthy to lead the way to healthy permanent teeth. If baby teeth are decayed, the permanent teeth will decay too. Dental decay is an infectious disease.
Are X-rays necessary?
Yes, X-rays are needed for proper evaluation. There are areas between the teeth not visible with the naked eye. The X-rays enable the doctor to view all areas where cavities can be found.
