OUR SERVICES
Pediatric Dental Care
Grow. Breathe. Thrive.
Dr. Van has advanced training in airway-focused orthodontics, myofunctional patterns, and early growth guidance. We use tools like palatal expanders and wire braces to guide development—not just for cosmetic alignment, but for function and whole-body health.
We also screen early (ideally between ages 3–7) for tongue ties, mouth breathing, oral habits, and signs of airway dysfunction. If your child snores, grinds their teeth, sleeps poorly, or has trouble focusing, these may be signs their airway needs attention.
Early, gentle intervention can make a big difference—and we’re here to help your child grow, breathe, and thrive.
Pediatric Dental Treatments
At Van Hemert Family Dentistry, our pediatric care focuses on the whole child—not just their teeth. We look beyond the mouth to support healthy jaw and facial development, airway function, and oral habits that impact sleep, focus, behavior, and long-term wellness.
Whole-Child Focused Dental Care
Our pediatric approach looks beyond teeth. We support healthy development, breathing, sleep, and growth—laying the groundwork for lifelong wellness through early, individualized, and functionally minded dental care.
Growth & Airway Development
We assess jaw, facial, and airway development at every stage. Early evaluation helps guide growth, prevent future issues, and support better sleep, focus, and overall health in children.
Preventative Pediatric Care
From cleanings to checkups, we prioritize prevention. Gentle, consistent care helps your child build healthy habits, catch issues early, and feel confident and comfortable at the dentist.
Myofunctional & Habit Guidance
Thumb sucking, tongue posture, and breathing habits affect facial growth and oral health. We help identify and address these patterns early to support optimal development and function.
Functional Pediatric Orthodontics
We don’t just straighten teeth—we guide growth. With tools like palate expansion and airway-focused orthodontics, we support structural development that promotes long-term health and stability.
Calm, Personalized Visits
Every child is unique. We take time to understand their needs and comfort level, creating positive dental experiences that help build trust and set the stage for a lifetime of care.
