Our Story

  • At Harmony Branch Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to making dental care a positive, informative, and anxiety-free experience for every family. We believe that a child’s early experiences at the dentist shape their attitude toward oral health for life, and we’re here to make those experiences as joyful and empowering as possible.

  • Our friendly and experienced team takes a gentle, personalized approach with every patient. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the difference—welcoming smiles, a calming environment, and a team that treats your family like our own. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or a routine check-up, we take the time to explain, educate, and encourage healthy habits in a way that’s easy to understand and even fun!

  • We’re proud to serve our community with expert pediatric dental care grounded in compassion, trust, and a deep understanding of kids’ unique needs. At Harmony Branch, we don’t just care for teeth—we care for the whole child.

Our Preventative Services

Space maintainers are vital for ensuring proper alignment and spacing of permanent teeth, particularly if baby teeth are lost prematurely

Silver diamine fluoride is an antimicrobial treatment that helps stop cavity development after a cavity has formed and reduces associated sensitivity. This quick and painless, non-invasive option is beneficial for young patients and allows treatment to be delayed until a child is older and more cooperative.

Fluoride treatments are offered as an effective component of preventative care. By strengthening the tooth enamel and reducing the bacteria that cause cavities, fluoride can help protect teeth from decay. Fluoride treatments are always optional and are recommended on a personalized basis.

Dental sealants provide an effective barrier against cavities. By applying a protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, we can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay.

Professional teeth cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. These routine cleanings help to remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Our digital x-ray technology offers a safe, efficient way for Dr. Dana to provide the most comprehensive examination and recommendations for your child. Digital x-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays and will be recommended on a personalized basis to reduce unnecessary exposure.

Regular exams and diagnostic tests are the backbone of preventative dentistry. These checks allow us to closely monitor your child’s dental growth and development, identifying any potential issues early on and formulating effective treatment plans.
