Children's Dentistry

Kids Dentist in Vancouver WA
We Care About Kids!

We created the "Kid's Korner" as a spot for our younger patients to have some fun and allow their parents a little "down time" during their visit to the dentist. At Sheron Dental we endeavor to make your child's visit to the dentist a pleasant and positive experience. When we first meet your child and do the initial examination, we invite you to join him or her to help make them feel more relaxed. During follow-up appointments you may want to enjoy the relaxation room, but are welcome to accompany your child as well.

In our office, you can rest assured that your child will benefit from the latest advancements in children's dentistry, conveyed with caring, thoughtfulness, and compassion. We look forward to their first dental visit when they are one year old and watching them grow year after year. It is our happy task to encourage proper dental care habits, and we enjoy teaching children how to keep their teeth healthy for a lifetime.

Cavity Fillings: What to Expect, Types & Potential Problems

The process of filling cavities is a fairly simple and straightforward one that can be done right at your dentist's office.
