Dr. Morgan is very personable and makes you feel like you’re his top priority. My child left from her initial visit excited about the dentist. This office is truly about creating a great experience children and even the parents alike.

Love everyone in the office. Dr. Morgan is so good with kids and explains everything to them and mom. He showed me everything he was talking about so I knew what was going on. And they welcome parents to sit with their kids which is so helpful for my anxious boy. Cannot recommend them enough!! My 5&6 years old love going to the dentist! That should say it all!!

Brought my son here for his first ever dental visit and it was a great experience! The atmosphere is fun and very welcoming for kids. They let me come with him which is a must for me (I was surprised to learn that many children’s dentist don’t allow parents to join). The hygienist showed my son all the tools she’d be using and explained what they all do which helped ease his hesitation and the cleaning was easy and painless. Dr. Morgan was awesome. Very friendly and thorough. I was nervous about how my son’s first trip to the dentist would go and I’m so happy it was a great experience! Will definitely recommend to friends and family

I went to This same practice when I was a kid, & now I am taking my two year old!! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Morgan & his staff! We had Vanessa as his assistant and she was so patient & sweet with Luke! They’re all just so wonderful and if you’ve been on the fence about going there, do yourself a favor and just do it! You won’t be disappointed!!

Rinse debris from injured area with warm water. Place cold compresses over the face in the area of injury. Placement of Vaseline over the area of the broken tooth will aid in decreasing sensitivity. Locate and save any broken tooth fragments in milk.

If the tooth is knocked out, try to replace back into socket or if the child can hold it under the tongue until you come into our office.

Clean the area around the sore tooth thoroughly. Rinse the mouth with warm salt water or use dental floss to dislodge impacted food or debris. DO NOT place aspirin on the gum or on the aching tooth. If the face is swollen or the pain still persists, contact our office as soon as possible.

Apply ice to bruised areas. If there is bleeding, apply firm pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. If bleeding does not stop after 15 minutes or it cannot be controlled by simple pressure, take the child to the emergency room. If the child chews their lip, tongue or cheek area after completion of dental treatment, an antibiotic may be necessary. Please call our office.

Why does my child need dental x-rays?

Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021
Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021

Radiographs (x-rays) are a necessary part of your child's dental diagnostic process. Without them, certain cavities will be missed. They also help survey developing teeth, evaluate results of an injury, or plan for orthodontic treatment. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable for your child, and more affordable for you. On average, our office will request bitewing radiographs approximately once a year and panoramic radiographs every 3-5 years. In children with a high risk of tooth decay, we will recommend radiographs and examinations every six months. With contemporary safeguards, the amount of radiation received in a dental x-ray examination is extremely small. The risk is negligible. In fact, the dental radiographs represent a far smaller risk than an undetected and untreated dental problem. Lead body aprons and shields will protect your child. Today's equipment restricts the beam to the area of interest.

Why are baby teeth so important?

Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021
Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021

It is very important to maintain the health of primary teeth (baby teeth). Neglected cavities can cause pain and infection, and it can also lead to problems which affect the developing permanent teeth. Primary teeth are important for (1) proper chewing and eating, (2) providing space for permanent teeth and guiding them into position, and (3) permitting normal development of the jaw bones and muscles.

How old should my child be to come to the dentist?

Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021
Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021

According to the America Academy of the Pediatric Dentistry, your child should be seen by their 1st birthday or 6 months after the eruption of their first tooth. Beginning dental care at an early age allows guidance for caring for your child's teeth and opportunities to address preventive issues that are important for healthy teeth and a pleasing smile. Early visits also help establish a positive relationship between our office and your child.

What is a pediatric dentist?

Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021
Children's Dentistry of Lakewood Ranch | Sep 2, 2021

A pediatric dentist has an extra two years of specialized training after dental school and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with behavior, guiding their growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
