Space Maintainers

Custom devices that hold space for adult teeth after early tooth loss, ensuring proper alignment and a smooth transition as your child’s permanent teeth come in.

Mouthguards

Comfortable, custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports and prevent injuries, keeping your child’s smile safe while they stay active and have fun.

Pulpotomy

Removes infected pulp from a baby tooth to relieve pain and protect the healthy root, preserving the tooth’s function.

FAQs

Don’t see what you need here? Give us a call.
We’re happy to answer all of your questions big and small.

Your child’s first visit should be around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Starting early helps us ensure their smile gets off to a great start!
Just like adults, kids should see the dentist every six months for cleanings and checkups. Regular visits keep their teeth healthy, catch issues early, and help them develop positive experiences with the dentist.
Baby teeth guide proper speech, chewing, and alignment for permanent teeth. Keeping them healthy helps them build good habits and avoid pain, infections, and orthodontic problems later on.
Use a soft-bristled brush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste (pea-sized for kids over 3). Brush twice daily and make it fun by singing songs or using timers.
Encourage brushing and flossing, limit sugary snacks, and visit the dentist for fluoride treatments and sealants. Healthy habits start at home and we’re here to help!
Fluoride is a safe, effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. We’ll make sure your child gets the right amount for their age and needs.
Dr. Park and Dr. Han have special expertise and experience in making dental visits fun and stress-free for kids. Talk to your child positively about the dentist before you come and let us create a gentle, welcoming experience they’ll enjoy.
Ideally, children would stop these habits by age 2 to avoid impacting teeth alignment or jaw development. Ending pacifier use or thumb sucking can be as scary for parents as it is for kids because it affects how children self-soothe. We can offer tips to make the transition easier for both of you!
Teeth grinding is common in kids and often resolves on its own. If it persists, we’ll assess their bite and may recommend a mouthguard to protect their teeth.
It depends on their teeth and jaw development. Regular visits help us monitor their growth and recommend orthodontic care at the right time if needed.

Dr. Strick's practice is being transferred to Dr. Park, and as someone who just went through some long-neglected dental work, including some cavity and cleaning work, it's going to great hands. Dr. Park is communicative (both about procedures and costs) and careful to make sure the work being done is exactly what you were told. The entire staff seems bright and happy, which makes the experience a gem. I'm not a great patient, but I felt like a king.

We took our 2-year-old son to the office now run by Dr. Park for his dental visit and we are very happy with the experience! Dr. Park was caring, gentle, and so kind from start to finish. She made sure our toddler was comfortable, and he was so calm throughout the entire check up - he even seemed to enjoy it! We’re truly grateful for the positive experience and will definitely be returning for all our dental needs. Thank you, Dr. Park, for making our son’s visit so pleasant!

Dr. Park is the most painstakingly careful dentist I’ve ever experienced. She is a perfectionist and, when what is at stake is either the ongoing health of a tooth or the cosmetic aspect, perfection is what one should want. Dr. Park, who has handled a number of issues for me, has a light touch, a lovely manner and a dedication to doing the job right. I have been fortunate to have had her care.
