We Want Your Child to Enjoy Their Trips to the Dentist Why Bismarck Families Choose Our Practice
Our Bismarck office understands visiting the dentist can make people nervous, especially children. We want your child to not only tolerate coming to our practice but to enjoy it. There are several reasons families throughout Bismarck choose our dental practice for pediatric care:

Fun Amenities
We understand that some patients like distractions while getting their teeth cleaned, so we allow our patients to listen to music or watch TV during their appointments. We also offer prizes to children after their treatment is complete.

They say you can tell a lot about a person’s character by how they treat others. Dr. Heringer is so kind and complimentary to his staff, it made me feel good just listening to them interact. Dr. Heringer and his entire staff are highly focused on the patient from the minute you walk into the reception area until you are walking out the door. I’ve never had a more positive experience in a dental chair!

Our top priority during your child's visit is making them feel at ease. As parents, our team understands common children's concerns, and we can explain treatment in terms your child can understand.
Good pediatric dentistry can dramatically reduce your child's risk for dental decay and set them up for a lifetime of good oral health.
Pediatric Dentistry Treatments and Procedures Our Bismarck Dental Practice Offers
After your child's examination, our pediatric dentist will take the time to discuss any recommended treatments and oral concerns he noticed. We offer multiple pediatric services to help your child maintain a healthy and functional smile.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a mineral known to strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride treatments can help prevent decay and keep it from worsening. While it cannot completely eliminate the risk of cavities, it can reinforce your child's teeth and significantly reduce their chances of developing them.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants can be applied to your child's permanent molars. This liquid coating hardens over the top of teeth to keep bacteria and food from getting trapped in deep crevices.
Extractions
Tooth extractions can be an important part of your child's oral development. Extractions can help with overcrowding, damage, and impacted wisdom teeth. Our dentist can provide extractions when necessary to improve the function and health of your child's smile.
Fillings
Cavities are caused by bacteria breaking down the structure of a tooth. They can be painful and, when left untreated, can spread to surrounding oral structures. Fillings are used to protect an affected tooth after decay has been removed. Fillings in baby teeth are just as important as fillings in adult teeth. An untreated cavity in a baby tooth can cause further damage to the surrounding or underlying adult teeth. Our pediatric dentist can remove the decay and use a tooth-colored filling to eliminate pain and protect your child's oral health.
Orthodontics
Once a patient's adult teeth have come in, they may experience issues like crooked, gapped, and misaligned teeth. Our Bismarck, ND, practice offers Invisalign® clear aligners to discreetly and effectively shift teeth into proper alignment. A straightened smile can enhance the health and appearance of your child's teeth and gums.
