Care for Your Family’s Changing Needs

Children, teens and adults have different dental needs. Our approach focuses on:

  • Prevention: Help protect teeth and gums with professional care and practical home-care guidance.
  • Early attention: Evaluate changes before they become more difficult to manage.
  • Comfort and function: Address concerns that affect chewing, speaking or daily comfort.
  • Clear choices: Understand the findings, treatment options and recommended next steps.

Cleanings and Examinations Based on Your Health

Your preventive plan starts with an examination and a conversation. Dr. Kirian evaluates your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work, with imaging when needed.

He considers your history of cavities or gum disease, home-care habits, overall health and preferences when recommending follow-up visits. A single schedule does not fit every patient.

Our team has used EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy as its primary hygiene approach since 2024. Learn more about our dental cleanings and exams.

Support for Healthy Gums

Bleeding, tenderness or changes around your gums deserve attention. Dr. Kirian assesses gum health using measurements, examination findings and X-rays when appropriate.

If gum disease requires care beyond a routine cleaning, he will explain why. Treatment may include scaling and root planing, followed by maintenance visits based on your needs.

Protection for Children, Teens and Adults

We discuss prevention in a way that fits the person, including cleaning habits, cavity risk and the condition of individual teeth. Dental sealants may provide added protection for suitable back teeth.

Other concerns may call for a sports mouth guard or an evaluation for a night guard. Dr. Kirian recommends these according to your activities, symptoms and examination findings.

Help When a Tooth Hurts or Breaks

Call our office about a sudden toothache, swelling or a broken tooth. Our team tries to arrange same-day emergency evaluations when possible. Treatment timing depends on the diagnosis and the appointment required.

Dr. Kirian will explain whether the tooth needs repair, root canal treatment, removal or another approach. Visit our emergency dental care page for more information.

A Conversation Before a Recommendation

Dr. Kirian considers more than an isolated tooth. He discusses your overall health, oral health goals and circumstances when planning care. His continuing education includes completed coursework at The Dawson Academy and participation in the Seattle Study Club.

If you feel anxious or have avoided care, tell us. We start by listening to your concerns and discussing what would help you through the visit. You can ask questions, request explanations and let us know when you need a break.

Frequently Asked Questions About General and Family Dentistry

How often should I schedule dental visits?

Your recommended interval depends on your oral health and risk factors. Dr. Kirian considers your dental history, gum health, home care and overall health rather than giving everyone the same schedule.

Can I schedule if it has been years since my last appointment?

Yes. Tell our team about any symptoms or concerns when you call. We can begin with an evaluation and discuss priorities for getting your care underway.

Will my child receive the same care as an adult?

Recommendations reflect age, tooth development, health and individual needs. Our team explains preventive care and home habits in an appropriate way for each patient.

What if I need treatment beyond a cleaning?

Dr. Kirian will explain the findings and your options. Care may involve preventive, restorative or other treatment, with specialist referral when appropriate.

How should I prepare for my first appointment?

Bring your medication list, relevant health information and insurance details if applicable. See our first dental visit page for more guidance.
