Building good habits early
Dr. Erickson’s experience in pediatric offices helps young patients feel at ease. We explain everything in kid-friendly language, celebrate good brushing, and use sealants and fluoride to protect developing teeth.
Care that grows with your family
As kids become teens and adults, their needs change — sports mouthguards, wisdom teeth, aligners, and eventually crowns or implants. Having one trusted office means your history is always on file.

Family Dentistry FAQs
When should my child first see a dentist?
The ADA recommends a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Do you see toddlers?
Yes. Early visits are short, gentle and focused on helping your child feel comfortable.
Can my whole family come on the same day?
Yes — just ask for back-to-back family appointments.
Do you offer sports mouthguards?
Yes. Custom mouthguards protect teeth far better than store-bought versions.
