Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. They have 2-3 years of special training following dental school and limit their practice to treating children only. Pediatric dentists are primary and specialty oral care providers for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health needs. Dr. Kasey Stark is a board-certified pediatric dentist, which means she has voluntarily gone through a rigorous examination process to confirm her exceptional skills and knowledge in her field.

White dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that fully cups over the part of a tooth or dental implant that lies above the gum line. In comparison to fillings which are used to fill in or cover over just a portion of a tooth, a crown, when cemented into place, fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth. At Kids Tooth Team - Michigan, we use white dental crowns to restore your child's tooth to its normal shape, size, and function.
We understand that some children may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. That's why we offer sedation dentistry to help your child relax during their dental procedure. Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's sometimes referred to as "sleep dentistry," although that's not entirely accurate. Patients are usually awake with the exception of those who may need general anesthesia.
Infant oral health exams, which include risk assessment for caries in mother and child. Preventive dental care including cleaning and fluoride treatments, as well as nutrition and diet recommendations. Habit counseling (for example, pacifier use and thumb sucking). Early assessment and treatment for straightening teeth and correcting an improper bite (orthodontics).
At Kids Tooth Team – Michigan, we understand that every child is unique and may require different approaches to dental care, especially those with special health needs.

A child's early experiences at the dentist can shape their attitude towards dental care for the rest of their life.

Children, like adults, should see the dentist every six months. Some dentists may recommend more frequent or less frequent appointments depending on your child's oral health history. In general, it's recommended that children start seeing a dentist by their first birthday.
Preventing cavities involves regular dental check-ups, a balanced diet, and good oral hygiene habits like brushing and flossing daily. It's also important to monitor your child's fluoride intake. Too much can lead to white spots on the teeth. Too little can increase the risk of cavities.
Before the visit, try to explain what the dentist does and why it's important. Use positive language and try to make it fun. You can also read books or watch videos about going to the dentist. On the day of the appointment, make sure your child is well-rested and has had a light meal.
If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or injury to the mouth, it's important to act quickly. For a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket if possible and contact us immediately. For severe toothaches or injuries, rinse the mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Call our office as soon as possible for further instructions and to schedule an emergency appointment.
Proudly serving patients in Lake Orion and the surrounding communities.
