Children's Dentistry
You should bring your child to the dentist soon after their first tooth comes in or by their first birthday. Early dental care allows our children’s dentist in Centennial, CO, to monitor development. Additionally, it helps your child better acclimate to the dental setting, providing positive associations with our office.
Early visits are about observing development, but we also answer your questions and can discuss best practices, including:
- Nutrition information
- Thumb sucking
- At-home teeth cleaning
- Pacifier use
- Transition to independent brushing
Our team is always here to help you make the best choices for your child’s smile. We also discuss findings with you and lay out treatment options when warranted.
Quality Dental Care and Your Child
As your child grows, we introduce age-appropriate dentistry that will come to include the following:
- Comprehensive visual exams of the teeth and gums
- Periodic x-rays if we suspect oral health issues
- Professional teeth cleanings to reduce cavity risks
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Dental sealants to protect teeth from decay

What Makes a Good Children’s Dentist?
A good children's dentist possesses a unique set of qualities that foster a positive and comfortable
experience for young patients. They should be patient, compassionate, and able to communicate with children at their level, in a manner that educates and alleviates dental anxiety. Additionally, a child-friendly dentist instills good oral hygiene habits early on, promoting lifelong dental health in their young patients.
Here at Michael J. Franquemont DDS, we know that the experience a child has during their early dental visits can impact their future commitment to maintaining good oral health practices. Our goal is to make these first visits (and our environment in general) fun, educational, and relaxing.
In addition to providing the highest-quality dental care, Dr. Michael Franquemont (“Dr. Mike”) and the team recognize our role in helping children develop a healthy, positive attitude about dental care, and are committed to educating parents and children alike about proper oral health practices.
