Forever Smile

At Forever Smiles, our goal is to provide the highest quality care for all the children we serve. In some cases, this means referring patients to dental specialists who have expertise in specific treatments that we do not offer in our office.

We may refer children to pediatric dentists for multiple caries lesions, multiple extractions, space maintainers, or cases that require anxiety-reducing techniques like nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Endodontists are consulted for root canal treatment on permanent teeth when cavities are extensive and have infected the tooth’s nerve.

For crowns, which are tooth-colored restorations that cover the entire tooth for protection, we may refer children to general dentists, especially after root canal treatments, large caries, or significant fractures. Once a child’s teeth are cavity-free and their gums are healthy, we may recommend an orthodontist to improve tooth alignment and bite.

In cases where teeth need removal or there are concerns about the jaw joint or pathology seen clinically or in x-rays, we will refer children to oral surgeons for evaluation and treatment.
