At River Valley Smile Center, we strongly believe in patient education, particularly when it concerns your children. We will educate you and your child about the causes of tooth decay, the importance of professional examinations and cleanings, proper dental hygiene and diet, fluorides, and the use of dental sealants. We have flat screen televisions in each room, that you children can control to watch their favorite cartoons.  They are even on the ceiling, so they can watch while we work! In addition, we watch for potential orthodontic problems and discuss with you any need for early treatment. Parents are free to accompany their children to the room while treatment is being performed, but at River Valley Smile Center the child gets to decide what to watch on tv!
