Fluoride
A substance that helps teeth resist decay by making their enamel stronger and increasing the rate of remineralization at the beginning of the cavity stage, fluoride is an important part of a child’s dental health. Nearly every municipality in the United States fluoridates its water supply; regularly drinking water treated with fluoride in addition to brushing and flossing every day significantly reduces a child’s risk of getting cavities.
We’ll recommend fluoride for your child only after conducting a thorough risk assessment. Beginning at 6 months of age, we’ll prescribe fluoride supplements, daily fluoride toothpaste and professionally applied in-office fluoride treatment based on your child’s risk of developing cavities. Note, too, that bottled water is not fluoridated — from the standpoint of cavity prevention, tap water is by far the best choice for your children.
Are you ready to take charge of your child’s oral health?
“Took my daughter to this office. Dr. Gibson is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely skilled and has an incredible bedside manner. Her office is beautiful and kid friendly. In fact, it’s probably the nicest doctor’s office I’ve ever been to.”

The entire staff, Dr. Gibson, the office, everything! Dr. Gibson relates to you and the kiddo, explains everything, and isn’t rushed. The hygienists are so sweet and so patient, same with the front desk ladies. The decor is SO AWESOME. And they give treats/goodies as you’re leaving. A five star rating is an understatement! Thank you, ladies!
Just took my 19-month-old daughter to her first dentist appt, and it was fantastic! The whole team was SO patient. Dr. Gibson easily took care of her, despite the squirming, and then blew bubbles with her! The office is adorable and the kids even get individual TVs while their teeth are cleaned… I wish Dr. Gibson was available to adults!
Dr. Gibson is so wonderful! She’s passionate and understanding and completely takes every patient and their needs to a personal level. She’s got the tender touch all kids need when seeing their doctor, of any type. Her office is exceptional. It’s so clean and modern yet so much fun for the little ones!
