Palm Valley Functional Pediatric Dentistry, arizona

At Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in going beyond the basics when it comes to your child’s dental health. That’s why we are proud to offer Functional Pediatric Dentistry, a whole-body approach to oral care that focuses on overall wellness, not just teeth.

We don’t just fix cavities or clean teeth; we uncover the “why” behind dental issues and work on solutions that fit your child’s dental needs.

What Is Functional Pediatric Dentistry?

The main goal of functional pediatric dentistry is to consider the whole picture. Rather than simply fixing oral issues, we look deeper to find the root problem and help your child develop lifelong healthy habits.

Healthy habits first

We teach kids how good hygiene, a balanced diet, and healthy routines keep their teeth and bodies strong.

Natural, gentle care

We use safe materials and treatments that work with your child’s body, not against it.

Whole-body approach

We believe your child’s dental health is connected to their overall wellbeing, mind, body, and spirit!

What Happens at a Functional Dental Visit?

Here’s what we will chat about:

Our Functional Pediatric Dental visits are friendly, thorough, and specifically for your child. We take time to get to know them and explore what might be affecting their oral health.

Once we understand your child’s health and lifestyle, we will gently examine their teeth, gums, and jaw to check for growth and function. From there, we create a personalized plan to help them stay healthy and happy.

Daily habits

What snacks does your child love? Are they sipping on sugary drinks throughout the day?

Health history

Did your child face any illnesses, allergies, or medications that could affect their oral health?

Sleep and breathing

Do they breathe through their mouths, grind their teeth, or snore?

Early habits

Did they use a pacifier or suck their thumb for a long time?
