Mitten Kids Dentistry in Grand Rapids, MI.

Our goal at Mitten Kids Dentistry and Orthodontics is to see every child for their first dental visit by age 1, which is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. This allows us to develop a trusting relationship with your child and create positive dental experiences from an early age, which will ultimately set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. But do not worry if your child is older, as it's never too late to start their oral health journey!

We need your help. Your child needs your help. Dentistry doesn’t just happen at Mitten Kids, it happens at home. We'll work together to develop the best plan to take care of your child’s teeth. Parents are welcome to attend appointments, but soon your child will be ready to do it on their own. Independence in a child is one of the things we value most here. While you sit back and wait comfortably in front (coffee and some "me" time anybody?), we’ll be teaching your kids how to properly care for their teeth. Afterwards, we’ll share those lessons with you so we’re all on the same page when it comes to keeping your child healthy and happy.

We believe that communication between doctors, staff, parents, and children is essential. We are always here to answer your questions! Whether it’s related to your child’s growth and development, the need for braces, cavities, or why they occur, we will always do our best to deliver the answers in an easy, fun, simple, and positive manner.
