Family Dentistry

Regular dental cleanings and check-ups are the most important aspect of our practice. Having regular professional cleanings and periodic examinations assure our patients of continued dental health.

Our goal is start our young patients out on the road to good dental hygiene that will keep them healthy and smiling throughout their lives.

By beginning early in life with regular dental visits, we are able to identify small problems before they become large, as well as prevent many problems through the use of dental sealants to prevent early tooth decay. We recommend that a first dental visit take place between 2 and 3 years of age. The first visit is just sitting in the chair, sometimes in a parent’s lap, and allowing Dr. Ritsert to ‘count teeth’. Our young patients always leave with a “goodie bag” and a positive first dental experience!
