Building bright smiles from the start
Gentle, Positive Dental Care for Kids
At The Tooth Doc, we believe in starting healthy smiles early. Our goal is to make every child’s visit positive, comfortable, and educational—so they feel confident about visiting the dentist for years to come. We provide gentle, prevention-focused care for growing smiles, from toddlers to teens.
When families choose Dr. Matz and our team for their child’s dental care, they can count on a warm environment and clear, easy-to-understand explanations. We love supporting kids throughout their childhood and into adulthood so they can enjoy healthy smiles.
Building healthy habits early
Preventive Care
Good oral health begins with prevention. Our team provides regular professional dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, and advice on brushing and flossing at home. We take time to show children how to care for their teeth in fun ways and turn checkups into learning experiences—no stress!
Keeping baby teeth healthy is critical for speech, nutrition, and guiding the permanent teeth into the right place. The Tooth Doc helps parents understand how early care supports long-term dental development and overall well-being for their children.
Simple treatments that make a big difference
Cavity Prevention and Early Protection
Protecting your child’s smile doesn’t have to be complicated. Dr. Matz offers fluoride varnish and dental sealants—two of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent cavities in growing teeth.
For children with early signs of decay, The Tooth Doc may recommend silver diamine fluoride to stop the progression of decay without drilling. When repairs are needed, tooth-colored fillings and gentle bonding restore strength and appearance in a single visit.
For little ones who need extra support, stainless steel crowns can protect baby molars until they’re ready to fall out naturally.
Each treatment is chosen with your child’s comfort and long-term health in mind.
Calm, caring dentistry for all kids
Support for Anxious Little Patients
Some children feel nervous about dental visits—and that’s okay. Our team takes the time to listen, reassure, and adapt to each child’s needs. For those who need a little help to relax, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to make the experience calm and easy.
Dr. Matz and our staff specialize in helping anxious patients feel safe, using a patient-first approach. We focus on empathy and encouragement. By building trust early, we help kids approach future visits with confidence.
Custom protection for active kids
Sports Mouth Guards
For children involved in sport or physical activities, a well-fitted mouth guard is one of the best forms of protection. The Tooth Doc provides custom-made mouth guards created from digital scans for a comfortable, secure fit.
Unlike generic store-bought mouth guards, our mouth guards are designed to stay in place during movement and protect the teeth and soft tissues from injury. Dr. Matz can help parents choose the best mouth guard for their child.
Set the stage for lifelong oral health
Tips for Baby’s First Visit
Your child’s first dental visit should happen around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. The Tooth Doc makes this milestone fun and informative. We’ll check growth, review brushing tips, and discuss nutritional habits that keep teeth strong.
Our team focuses on making the first experience gentle and positive. The goal is to help children become familiar with the sights, sounds, and people at the dental office—so every visit afterward feels easy and welcoming.
Give your child the best start in life
Dr. Matz and our friendly team look forward to helping your child build confidence and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Always willing to work with emergency procedures and works around the time. Been going for almost 10 years, great family atmosphere.
