Good oral health starts with prevention. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first dental visit take place by age one or appearance of the first tooth, whichever occurs first. Every child is unique and we will evaluate needs and come up with an individualized preventive plan.
Cavities happen, sometimes despite our best efforts to prevent them. We evaluate each child's unique needs and discuss treatment in detail. This may include composite (tooth-colored) fillings, crowns, extractions, nerve treatments and space maintainers. Dental emergencies are never a welcome event but we are happy to be of service during what can be a stressful time for parent and child.

That may seem early but establishing a dental home at a young age is a proven way to prevent problems before they start and to help build a foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.We strive to make this first visit as stress-free as possible. For patient's under age 3, this typically involves a knee-to-knee cleaning and exam in which the child is able to stay on the caregivers lap.

Dr. Julie is exactly what I was looking for! I myself do not enjoy the dentist so finding one that my son and I both liked was SO important. She is super patient, kind, and most importantly doesn’t do unnecessary work. I have felt ripped off and treated very aggressively in the past by dentists and Dr. Julie is honest and does a great job with my son and makes us both feel very comfortable.

Our family has found a dentist! Incredibly professional, kind, and efficient, Dr. Julie and staff made our first appointment amazing! The communication was impeccable on all aspects of the procedures, and spoke directly to my children for their opinions - as they are old enough to give feedback. Thrilled with this office. Highly recommended!

Dr. Julie is friendly, professional, and put my kids (ages 4 and 2) at ease during their visit. Their new facility is clean and family friendly. Health precautions were taken and I felt comfortable bringing my kids in for their appointments during the COVID pandemic. I would highly recommend Dexter Pediatric Dentistry!

We were referred to Dr Julie for an emergency this week, and I can’t say enough good things about her! Our regular dentist was unsure on how to handle our situation which made my son and I both very nervous and we were so thankful Dr Julie had us come right over and handled our situation even on a Friday! She was so kind and her office is so cute and kid friendly. We will definitely be back to see her and really appreciate her😊

Dr. Julie is amazing. My daughter needed her first filling. She has a VERY bad gag reflex and was anxious. Of couse the filling that was needed was on the very last tooth on the buttom. I know it was going to be impossible to do. But Dr. Julie is a miracle worker. She was so sweet, caring and patient with my daughter. She used lots of technics to make my daughter comfortable and calm during her filling. My daughter loves Dr. Julie and only wants to see her. Dr. Julie is so understanding when it comes to a patient's challenges and fears. She will calmly help them work through their challenges and
