Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include oral cancer screenings, development assessments, and personalized care plans. We use child-friendly techniques to ensure comfortable examinations while monitoring dental growth and identifying potential issues early. Our dentists provide parental guidance for maintaining proper oral hygiene between visits.
Fluoride Treatments
We offer professional fluoride applications to strengthen developing teeth and prevent decay. Our flavored treatments are specially formulated for children, providing enhanced protection while being pleasant tasting. We recommend these treatments during regular six-month checkups for optimal cavity prevention.
Digital X-rays
Our low-radiation digital X-ray technology captures detailed images of developing teeth and jaw structures. This advanced imaging helps diagnose hidden dental issues while minimizing radiation exposure. The digital format allows immediate viewing and easy sharing with specialists when needed.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
We provide safe nitrous oxide sedation to help anxious children relax during dental procedures. This mild sedative works quickly and wears off shortly after treatment, allowing immediate return to normal activities. Our team closely monitors patients throughout the process.
IV Sedation
For complex procedures or extremely anxious patients, we offer IV sedation administered by qualified specialists. This technique ensures complete comfort while maintaining safety through continuous vital sign monitoring. Appropriate for children requiring extensive dental work in a single visit.

Had the another bad experience with this dentist office. Took my 7yr. old son for his appointment and the nurses is discussing financial among themselves in front of him. He comes out crying and telling me that he told them not to be talking about his parents. He will never go back there. They will not allow anyone in the back with their kids.

Dr. Miller is always in a good mood, so is Ms. Lynda and the rest of the team. They make me relax while waiting for my bundles of joy. You know. It can be bad, but we made it with a B+;-

After being told I may not check in on my 3 yr old I was a little nerve wrecked but accepted. After her procedure I asked to speak with the Dr while listening to a voicemail he comes rudely saying " If you want to speak to me you need to get off the phone". Shocked me he never said hello anything. Vaguely discussed my concern showing no interest. My second child was just called back I with no hesitation told them bring her back canceled the appointment we're leaving and did.
It's clear parents aren't aloud to to be present to witness the lack of character these doctors have when we are not able to address it. I was very uncomfortable after being disrespected. Respect should be given no matter the age or race. Always ask to meet the Drs performing any procedures as they should want to meet you.

My 4 year old daughter loves going here to see the Dentist! I can't say I've ever been excited to go to the dentist lol, but it makes me SO happy to know that she does, and feels comfortable with the cleaning, x-rays, etc. She always walks out with a smile! : Such a relief as a mother! The staff is lovely as well! Thank you Drs. Hyde, Miller & Associates!

Stay away! Ok, don't let the reception's great service fool you! They are great! Place is a bit dated, could use a renovation! Not so important when considering a dental professional. Our baby is two, and needed a checkup, no issues. The paperwork clearly states that after the age of 3, patients cannot be accompanied by parents. NO WAY! What world do they think we live in? Not coming back! The technician was great, our baby loved her, thanks!
Then the "doctor" Hyde came in, a senior, yelling and that got my girl scared. She was doing great. He yelled AT her the whole time, she's a trooper and did very well. Props to her, not the doc. He counted her teeth. Everything else was done by the technician. Why? Why bother to come in, if you're not doing the work? Why yell at your patients? Why keep parents from accompanying their kids in this evil world? Why? Not coming back! Stay away!
