Give your kids a head start to health with a pediatric dentist in North Ogden.
Your child is at an important crossroads—the habits they start now can last for a lifetime.
And while learning to brush, floss, and enjoy their trips to the dentist are part of that, there are more pieces to the puzzle.
You may not have ever thought about talking to a pediatric dentist about things like inflammation, nutrition, or healthy sleep, but that is exactly the direction that cutting-edge pediatric dentistry is going.
After all, the mouth is the gateway to the body. Why should you have to wait for your child to have problems before most dentists will pay attention?
At Castle Creek Pediatric Dentistry in Ogden, UT, we do things differently.
With over 19 years in practice in Ogden and hundreds of hours in training in pediatric dentistry, sedation, dental hygiene, myofunctional therapy, Complete Health Dentistry, and more, we’re here to find the root causes of your child’s symptoms and promote health for the long term.
Here’s how we do it:
Get to Know You
At your child’s Complete Oral Health Assessment at our office in Ogden, we’ll listen to your concerns and learn about areas where you and your child need support.
Make a Plan
Every child is unique. Using the latest screenings and non-invasive technology, we partner with you to create an individualized family treatment plan.
Create Healthy Habits
We understand that this type of care feels new and different, but we believe your child deserves more than the outdated style of dentistry. We’re committed to giving you the education, support, and tools that will help your whole family live a healthy, active life.
