Keeping Your Little Village Smiling...
preventive dentistry
At Village Pediatric Dentistry, we strongly believe in the importance of preventative care. We know that parenting is difficult and want you to know that this is a judgement free zone. Below are some helpful tips to help keep your little one's mouth healthy:
- Avoid allowing your child to graze on carbohydrate filled snacks, as they fuel bacteria and plaque increasing risk for cavities. Alternative snack ideas includes fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese sticks or nuts.
- Avoid allowing your child to sip on sugary beverages (yes, even milk has sugar!) between meals and throughout the day. Water is best between meals and reserve 1 cup of milk for meal time.
- Begin brushing as early as your child's first tooth comes in. Routine and early introduction will make all the difference. This routine is often easier said, than done, especially once you have a wild and opinionated toddler on your hands. Be sure to ask us for tips and tricks when you are in the office.
- Establish routine dental visits for your child no later than the age of one. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommend early establishment of a dental home.
- We also offer many preventative procedures in the office, we will be sure to discuss these with you at your child's visit and don't hesitate to ask questions. Some of these procedures include:
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants
- Sports mouthguards and night guards
- Digital x-rays

LOVED BY KIDS. TRUSTED BY PARENTS
Read what our patients and their parents say about us...
"Dr. Laura Doss is an amazing pediatric dentist. She has amazing communication skills and speaks to the children in kid friendly language. My children love Dr. Doss and she makes them feel comfortable and safe. Her kindness and patience makes their experience great. She answers all my questions about their treatments and she takes significant care of each of my children and especially the two that have special needs. I am so happy with the outstanding experience that we have with Dr. Doss and never am I hesitant to bring back my children anytime."

"We have had the privilege of Dr Laura being our child’s dentist for a number of years. My now 12 year old HATED the dentist. She needed quite extensive orthodontic work done, but had to have the dental work done first. We lucked in to being placed on Dr. Laura’s schedule and we have never looked back. My child LOVES Dr. Laura and so do I. My now 27 year old son became very ill in 2019. He was a medical mystery and spent 8 days in patient in University Hospital. We had an appointment with Dr. Laura during this time and I told her what was going on and showed her some pictures of his mouth (he was unable to eat or drink.) She took a genuine, sincere interest in my son and reached out to some of her colleagues and gave me some things to bring to the Drs. attention. It ultimately ended up being a dentist, who had gone into pathology, that finally helped my son. Dr Laura put me in the right track. My 12 year old is still currently in orthodontics and I absolutely love the way that
Dr. Laura and my orthodontist communicate about her care with each other. Your child will be in wonderful hands with Dr. Laura Doss and you and your child will fall in love with her just like we did."
