Children's Dentistry

As children grow, so do their teeth. It's important to become teammates with your child. They're going to need your help for some time, but we still want to empower them to take care of their teeth and teach them how to do it properly.

Things we'll monitor throughout childhood:

  • Diet and nutritional choices
  • Adequacy of brushing and flossing, with a grown-up's help, of course
  • Protecting teeth during sports
  • Spacing and alignment of teeth, and need for orthodontics
  • What to do during a dental emergency of an adult or baby tooth
  • Habits like thumb sucking or finger sucking
  • Need for sealants on adult molars

Teen Dentistry

Teenagers face their own challenges. There are a myriad of choices teens face in today's day and age. We will educate your teen on how those choices affect their oral health and overall health.

Things we'll monitor throughout childhood:

  • Making smart beverage and food choices
  • Brushing and flossing: how and how often
  • Discussing challenging habits like smoking and caffeine / sugar addiction, eating disorders and drug abuse
  • Protecting your teeth during sports
  • Piercings of the lips or tongue
  • Developing wisdom teeth and what to do about them
  • Orthodontics: is it time for braces?

We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!

From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!

Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
