First Visit

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that children see a pediatric dentist by one year of age.

Visiting a pediatric dentist by the first birthday enables the child to find a dental home and begin a lifelong of preventive dental care program to minimize tooth decay and cavities. Pediatric dentists can detect early tooth decay, provide parents with information on proper oral and facial development, and determine fluoride needs and more.

For a child, a trip to the dentist is a trip into the unknown and can be frightening. Therefore, it is important to ease any stress they may feel with a warm, friendly environment and a staff who are acutely aware of the need to welcome children with warmth and smiles.

Specializing in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Shohreh Sharif and her trained, dedicated staff can put your child at ease and ensure their oral health.

Pediatric dentistry concerns the teeth and jaws of children but it’s really about heart.

Dr. Sharif and the office team provide a wide range of services that reflect the diversity of children and individual dental requirements. This includes orthodontics, cavity and bite evaluations, potential surgeries and extractions, fillings, cleanings, emergency care and much more.
