A Little Lakeside Smiles our top priority is preventing dental issues from occurring. Routine evaluations are important to assess the dental health of your child. Our goal is to make exams easy and fun for your child while providing personalized care and treatment plans.
At Little Lakeside Smiles we offer digital x-rays. This makes the appointment a little easier and faster for our little ones. A handheld radiograph device is used which allows us to remain with your child during x-rays. Digital panoramic radiographs are also available for children to evaluate growth and development.
