Our Philosophy
at Bend Children's Dentistry
Dentistry for children doesn’t have to be stressful! At Bend Children’s Dentistry, we understand that things that happen now (including home care, habits, and experiences in the dental office) set the stage for your child’s oral health and relationship with dentistry for life. We follow the evidence-based guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and we strive to become the best fit as a Dental Home for your family.
We Believe:
- Oral healthcare should be affirming, individualized, and accessible.
- A child’s oral health is based on a collaboration between the child, their family, and the Dental Home.
- Children’s oral health is about providing dental care that is tailored to each individual child and family, within the parameters set by the AAPD guidelines.
- Children should have regular preventative care
- Oral health contributes to the overall health, and we understand the importance of collaboration with your child’s health care team
- If your child develops treatment needs, a care plan should be considered with the ultimate goal of positive dental experiences:
