I’ve been with Dr Brodhagen for about 30 years. You’ll never find a finer dentist…
Children’s dental exams & preventive care in Wisconsin
The habits children form at the dentist — and the experiences they have — shape their relationship with oral health for life. At Bay Park Smiles, we create a dental home where children feel safe, parents feel informed, and every visit builds confidence for the next one.
Age-Based Milestones
Brief, gentle exam. Count the teeth. Check for early decay risk. Parent coaching on brushing, bottle feeding, and pacifier habits. A positive first impression that sets the tone.
Full exam, digital X-rays when clinically indicated, gentle cleaning, and fluoride. Primary dentition is monitored closely for decay, spacing, and skeletal bite development. Home care is reinforced at every visit.
Mixed dentition phase — baby teeth falling out, permanent teeth erupting. Sealants are placed on permanent molars. Orthodontic screening begins. Most cavity-prone years — close monitoring is essential.
Full permanent dentition established. Wisdom tooth monitoring begins. Orthodontic treatment is often highly active. Increased cavity risk with dietary independence — hygiene coaching shifts to teen-directed methods.
Exam Transparency
Every tooth surface checked for decay, structural chips, or developmental concerns. Early cavities are caught when they're tiny — and easiest to treat.
We assess how teeth come together, jaw growth patterns, and any early signs of crowding or bite problems that benefit from early interceptive ortho intervention.
Gum tissue assessed for inflammation or early gingivitis — common in children and teens and easily managed with improved, custom home care techniques.
Cheeks, tongue, lips, and palate examined for developmental concerns or soft tissue anomalies — including frenum attachment assessments for younger children.
Bitewing X-rays to detect hidden decay between teeth — taken when teeth are touching and a visual exam alone can't see between them. Low-dose digital X-rays with lead aprons.
Plaque and calcified tartar removed from all surfaces. Teeth are dynamically polished, and instructions show children how to brush properly and let them practice.
Topical fluoride varnish applied cleanly after cleaning — strengthens enamel and reverses early white spot demineralizations. Takes 30 seconds, with no eating or drinking for 30 minutes after.
We always debrief parents directly — sharing what we found, what we're monitoring, what you can do at home, and when to come back. No surprises, no mysteries.
Clinical Defense Mechanisms
Applied at every routine recall visit. Safely strengthens developing enamel surfaces, reverses micro-demineralizations, and dramatically reduces decay vulnerability.
Applied to permanent molars as soon as they erupt — sealing the deep structural pits and grooves where 80% of childhood cavities initiate.
We closely monitor your child's bite and jaw relationship at every single checkup, referring for early orthodontic evaluation when clinically indicated.
Age-appropriate brushing and flossing instruction for both child and parent — updated at every visit as your child's manual dexterity and anatomy evolve.
We see children from their very first tooth. These early milestone visits build long-term familiarity and trust — children who start young rarely develop severe dental anxiety.
Whether it's your child's first visit ever or they haven't been to a dentist in three years — every child is welcomed warmly without guilt or judgment. We start where they are.
Our comprehensive practice serves patients of all ages — your child can transition seamlessly from pediatric to adult care with the exact same trusted clinical team they grow up with.

A simple, highly effective preventative coating applied directly to permanent molars as soon as they erupt to lock out cavity-causing bacteria.
If structural decay is located during an exam, we treat it quickly and gently using child-focused techniques to restore full dental health.
Orthodontic diagnostic tracking forms a standard part of every exam — we refer for early structural jaw evaluation when indicate by growth.
