Children’s Dentistry in Kennebunk
A first dental visit brings plenty of new sights and sounds. For some children, even sitting in the chair is a big step. Our team welcomes children of all ages and offers familiar distractions, little comforts, and time to get to know the office. Dr. Alex Kerbaugh is a general dentist providing children’s dental services at Starboard Dental. Children are welcome to accompany a parent to become familiar with the setting before their own appointment. Let us know if you’d like to arrange this.
When Should Visits Begin?
Care for Growing Smiles
We’ll discuss which services are appropriate for your child rather than assume every visit needs the same care. Our children’s services include:
Small Comforts Make a Difference
Fidget spinners, stress balls, and other comfort items give busy hands something to do. There’s also a ceiling-mounted TV and soft music. Headphones or a weighted blanket are available if your child would like them. Tell us what helps your child in an unfamiliar setting. A favorite distraction or a heads-up about a worry can be useful before the appointment starts.
What a Checkup Looks Like
A typical cleaning and checkup takes about 40 minutes. Your child sees the hygienist for a cleaning, and the dentist examines their teeth.
