Services
The first visit to the dentist can be particularly nerve-racking for a parent. We try hard to make sure that your child's visit is comfortable, easy and a natural part of growing up. With patient, simple explanations, and gentle skilled hands, we introduce our patients to dentistry in a way that has a profound effect on their lifelong healthy dental habits.
It is our philosophy to make your child's dental experience as comfortable and enjoyable as we can. Dr. Lange has created a positive, nurturing environment where the Youthful Smiles team can build trust with patients to help eliminate fear associated with dental treatment. We hope to build a good feeling about dentistry that will last into adulthood.
When should I bring my child to the dentist? The American Dental Association and Dr. Lange recommend you schedule your child's first dental visit by age one. What happens at my child's first dental visit? During your child's first visit, Dr. Lange will review his or her medical/dental histories and complete a thorough oral examination to assess development, oral hygiene, injuries, cavities or other problems.

Simply put, they are not very patient with kids who require extra patience and attention due to anxiety. If this describes what your kids need, don't waste your time here. At one point, the RDA's didn't want to deal with our kids and were seen trying to pass us to the presumed newer RDA. Otherwise if your kids can lay there perfectly still, it's a clean and nicely decorated office and you will probably like it there. Dr. Lange herself was good. The support staff seems like they've worked there for far too long.
