Services
Preventive Oral Hygiene Instruction:
This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment whose children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.
Restorative Dentistry:
This includes children’s fillings, crowns and prosthesis, including treatment of the often devastating nursing bottle decay. Our doctors are committed to discussing all options before these procedures and answering all questions you may have. Always working for the goal of a healthy smile is our first priority.
.
Growth and Development & Braces:
As an orthodontist, Dr. Hopkins is an expert on the growth and development of children's dentition, jaws and craniofacial structures. Early growth and development evaluation may provide your child with a more positive experience should they need braces treatment from our pediatric dentists.
Emergency Treatment:
While our goal is to prevent dental emergencies, we understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary and can be a stressful experience for both parents and children. We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion.
In case you missed it during a recent visit, Palmetto Smiles would like you to join us in wishing a Happy Retirement to Dr Heather Hopkins who is retiring from clinical orthodontic practice May 31st. We thank her for the many years of orthodontic service for our patients. At the same time, we hope you've met Dr Mike Jauch during his time here in the last 6 months but if not he looks forward to meeting you in the continued orthodontic care of our patients. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the office. If your child is in active orthodontic care, we encourage you to come in with them on their next appointment so that Dr Mike can meet and update you on their care.
