At Growing Smiles we want to help your little one develop good dental health habits early on! We love each little smile that comes through our door, and it’s our goal to create a fun, educational, comforting experience that positively impacts the way your child feels about visiting the dentist.

We believe in building strong patient-doctor-parent relationships, so we focus heavily on open communication and treatment education. Our “Tell-Show-Do” approach to treatment has been very successful with our young patients. First, we explain in simple language what we’re planning to do. Next, we find a creative way to show what we are going to do; and lastly, we will start the treatment. It’s all as simple as 1-2-3!

Sometimes it can take more than just a simple three-step process to ease nerves. For patients with feelings of anxiety, Dr. Henderson offers safe, gentle, and effective sedation dentistry and anesthesia. No matter how your child feels before visiting the dentist, it is our promise that we will do everything we can to make sure that your little one leaves our practice feeling happy, confident, and excited about keeping their smile healthy!
