Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence.

A children’s dental specialist, like Dr. Palmer and Dr. Kirby, is a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental services. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, and the treatment of children with special needs.

A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child’s teeth, gums and mouth. Dr. Palmer will evaluate your child's growth and development and check to make sure your child’s oral development is on track.  Our office will make child-specific recommendations for sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child’s individual needs and habits.

Dr. Palmer and his team strive to make each visit fun, educational and memorable for you and your child.
