This visit gives us the opportunity to help them get used to the sights and sounds of our Lincoln, Nebraska dental office and provide a quick check for proper development. Our caring and gentle team makes children's dentistry fun; creating positive associations with the dentist that your child can carry with them for a lifetime. Just because your child's baby teeth will eventually fall out doesn't mean tooth decay isn't an issue.
