Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is a vision before being a dental office. We simply strive to see each child we treat smile. By spreading smiles that are healthy, individually beautiful yet a universal language that everyone understands, we aim to help children view dentistry as a comfortable, highly important part of their health. We believe in helping children avoid the various discomforts caused by oral disease. Studies have found dental disease to be the most common chronic disease of childhood and one of the leading causes of school absences. Research shows that approximately 60% of children are diagnosed with caries or dental decay by age five. Prevention of these possible problems requires two important aspects: 1 Establishing a ÔDental Home , and 2 An early dental evaluation.
