Children's Dentistry Service

Put Your Child's Dental Care in Good Hands

At Walnut Creek Family Dentistry, we absolutely adore kids. With that being said, Dr. Cowherd has completed numerous continuing education courses in pediatric dentistry, so he understands the special needs of our young patients. Our priorities with children's dental care are proper oral development and instilling good home care habits and dental disease prevention. 

To protect your child's hard-to-clean back teeth from decay, we often recommend clear, plastic dental sealants. We also suggest fluoride supplements. Fluoride works to deter cavities by attracting other minerals that strengthen tooth enamel.

Ensuring Proper Oral Structure Development

If your child's teeth do not develop properly, Dr. Cowherd can provide the necessary treatment. Options include interceptive orthodontics, such as space maintainers or extractions. We work closely with the orthodontist to ensure your child has the best treatment options. Any treatment that we recommend will also come with all the information you need to make the best decisions for your child's dental care.
