Children's Dentist in Lithia

Not every dental office is built for kids, but ours is. From the moment your little one walks through our door in Lithia, we focus on making dentistry feel like an adventure instead of something to dread. Here's what sets our children's dentistry apart.

A Gentle, Patient-First Approach

Dr. Wareham and our team take the time to explain every step in kid-friendly language, so your child feels informed and in control rather than anxious. We move at their pace, never rushing a nervous first-timer through their happy visit.

Entertainment That Eases Nerves

Flat-screen TVs in every treatment room give kids something fun to focus on during cleanings and exams, turning what could be a stressful appointment into a relaxed, distraction-filled visit.

One Convenient Trip for the Whole Family

With flexible family block scheduling, we can see siblings—or even parents and kids—back to back or side by side. No more juggling separate appointments across separate days for busy Lithia families.

A Locally Owned Practice That Knows Lithia Families

As a private, family-owned office (not a corporate chain), Dr. Wareham is present in the practice every day, building real relationships with the families of Fish Hawk, Lithia, and the surrounding communities.

Did you know that children should be visiting their dentist every six months, just like their parents do? Starting after their first birthday, or when their first teeth arrive, they should visit for a checkup every six months. As they get older and more acclimated to the dental chair, we’ll incorporate teeth cleanings and x-rays to help us monitor and protect their smiles.

Here are some of the ways that your children’s dentist in Lithia supports young smiles:

• Nutritional Guidance: Parents often wonder how to pack healthy school lunches and which snacks to provide. Our team can provide basic nutritional guidance to help set your child up for smile success.
• Cavity Prevention: Understanding nutrition plays an integral role in cavity prevention. Our team will also provide education on dental products, techniques, and procedures to help protect your child’s smile.
• Additional Treatment Recommendations: As your little one gets older, Dr. Wareham may recommend fluoride treatments or dental sealants to guard your child’s teeth against tooth decay and cavities.
• Mouthguards for Lithia’s Youth Athletes: Is your child an athlete? Did you know that sports injuries account for nearly half of dental emergencies?  If your child participates in sports, you may want to consider a custom mouthguard to protect their teeth and mouth from injury without compromising their game-time performance.
• Orthodontic Evaluations: Did you know that your child should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7 or 8? This is because some children can benefit from early intervention to address crowding or severe bite concerns, making future orthodontic treatment easier and more effective. If they don’t need early orthodontic treatment, Dr. Wareham will reevaluate them around age 11 or 12.
