A lifetime of smiles starts with a good foundation
Healthy smiles are an important part of your child’s development all the way through their teenage years and into adulthood but it’s not always easy to juggle that busy family lifestyle. Between work, school and everything else, sometimes it feels like you can’t catch a break.
We want your trips to the dentist to be as smooth and effortless as possible. We would be happy to accommodate your busy family with flexible hours and appointments that are grouped together.
As your child grows up, they’ll pass many dental care milestones including their first appointment, losing their baby teeth, getting their adult teeth and one day coming to the dentist by themselves to continue their routine dental care. We can’t wait to be there for each new step.
Our Children’s Dentistry services
Teeth Cleaning for Kids
Routine pediatric dental care monitors their oral health developments and helps prevent future problems.
Contact us today
to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your child will start to cut their first teeth at around 6 months. It is recommended that children visit the dentist by the age of 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you suspect something might be wrong or your child might be experiencing discomfort or pain, please book an appointment as soon as possible.
It’s never too late for a child to have their first dental appointment.
Baby teeth are no less important than adult teeth. Parents should understand that baby teeth do so much more than hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth. Children’s teeth can permanently affect how their face appears, how they smile and how often they smile. Children who are free to develop confidence and smile big in their early years tend to hang on to those habits. Dental pain, even mild pain that children learn to normalize, will have a lasting negative impact on children’s eating habits including how they chew, what kind of food they prefer and how much food they eat.
The length of the appointment will depend on the needs of the child and how cooperative they’re feeling during the exam. That being said, an appointment typically lasts about one hour.
Your toddler, child or teen should come to the dentist as frequently as you do. We recommend a checkup and cleaning every 6 months unless otherwise specified. If your child has a tooth or jaw ache if you notice them rubbing or nursing their jaw a lot or if you notice them avoiding hard or cold foods please book an appointment sooner.
A cavity is a hole in the tooth that gets bigger with time. A cavity may or may not hurt or cause sensitivity. It’s important to get cavities repaired before they become more serious or lead to infection, even in baby teeth! Cavities are caused by bacteria and dental plaque and made worse by sugary or acidic foods and drink. Some people are more prone to cavities than others.
Your mouth isn’t just your teeth. It’s a whole system including teeth, tongue, gums, cheeks, glands, ligaments, joints, bone and more. When one aspect of your oral health sugars, your whole mouth suffers. Swollen itchy, sore or bleeding gums can be an early indicator of a much more serious problem.
We understand how hectic family life can be! We can serve the whole gang by booking multiple appointments side-by-side. Please give us a call and we would be happy to accommodate you.

The entire staff for the amount of years that myself and my family have been going to Brookside Dental have been nothing but AMAZING. Always caring, accommodating and joyful when we're there in the office. Makes going to the dentist a completely different experience. The waiting room is always an experience in itself with the monthly prizes, treats and daily ambience. We love the family at Brookside! Thank you all for being such amazing people

I’ve been coming here for about 5 years and LOVE it! The entire staff is incredible and makes you feel welcome. Dr. Hadian is absolutely amazing, he always greets you with a smile and genuinely wants to get to know you. I brought my daughter here for the first time today and she felt so comfortable and had a great experience. Thank you Brookside Dental staff for your amazing hospitality.

My comments didn’t post from yesterday. After my family dentist of 40 + yrs retired, and a failed experience elsewhere, I was so fortunate to find Brookside! The staff is friendly and always greet you by name when you enter. The hygienists (specifically Brandy) are pleasant, fun and super friendly. The dentists are affable and professional and always a fun interaction. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I look forward to my visits and I can plan my day around them because I know that they will be prompt and exactly how long my appt will be. Fantastic experience every single time. Def 10/10!

Most people are apprehensive when venturing to a new practice myself included. Abigail was the perfect ambassador for your me in getting to know your practice. She was knowledgeable, courteous and patient. Even when removing heavy plaque.
I had a cleaning and an exam.
The facility, service and staff were friendly and welcoming. I am looking forward to my next visit already.
Thank you.
