Members of the American Dental Association and the Idaho Dental Association, we have years of dentistry experience in the Boise area. We take pride in providing excellent care to our patients. Check out these Testimonials to learn more about why our patients love Dentistry for Children! From Early Infant Oral Care to Adolescent Dentistry, we offer a wide variety of services specially tailored to your child.
Communicating with children on their level is one of the most important ways to reduce fear. Our doctors and staff are excellent communicators with children. Dr. Davis grew up in Boise where he attended Boise High School and received his undergraduate degree from Boise State University. Dr. Davis then graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2004.

Some young patients fear going to the dentist. They may have heard that the dental office is unpleasant or scary, leading to stress and anxiety. We do everything in our power to disprove that worry. Our offices have been designed for patient comfort, including televisions in the exam areas and play areas where the children and their siblings can enjoy themselves.
Preventive dentistry means a healthy smile for your child. Children with healthy mouths chew more easily and gain more nutrients from the foods they eat. They learn to speak more quickly and clearly. They have a better chance of general health, because disease in the mouth can endanger the rest of the body.
Fluoride is a compound that contains fluorine, a natural element. Using small amounts of fluoride on a routine basis can help prevent tooth decay. In areas where fluoride does not occur naturally, it may be added to community water supplies. Research shows that community water fluoridation has lowered decay rates by over 50 percent, which means fewer children grow up with cavities.
Sealants protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities in children are found. Made of clear or shaded plastic, sealants are applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free. Even if your child brushes and flosses carefully, it is difficult-sometimes impossible-to clean the tiny grooves and pits on certain teeth.
Since every child is unique, the need for dental X-ray films varies from child to child. Films are taken only after reviewing your child's medical and dental histories and performing a clinical examination, and only when they are likely to yield information that a visual examination cannot. In general, children need X-rays more often than adults.

They have been great so far. The service at every visit has been appropriately fast, friendly and caring. Dr. Davis and his team have been great from the front office to the back office, as well as billing. I made a payment with Care Credit and it didn't post but they found it and called within 30mins after leaving their office. Thank you Rosie
