Pediatric Dentistry

As the proud father of four, Dr. Egger understands the importance of being a gentle and approachable pediatric dentist in Federal Way. This understanding is translated into extra care and attention for every pediatric patient.

Dr. Egger’s team creates a fun atmosphere for every pediatric visit. Your child’s first visit begins with a "ride" in the dental chair. It continues with the opportunity for children to see and count their teeth, and includes a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Thirsty, a.k.a. Dr. Egger's suction tool. Children can even put on gloves just as Dr. Egger does before examining their mouths and can take a mask like his home for later play.

While these steps are not required for pediatric dental exams in other dental practices, Dr. Egger and his dental team believe it's well worth every minute they invest. They know this extra time and attention not only helps put the children at ease, but also educates and motivates children to care for their own teeth and gums and makes dental visits to the Federal Way pediatric dentist something to look forward to rather than something to fear.

Prevention is the Key

Dr. Egger encourages parents to bring their children in early, so dental care at regularly scheduled intervals can be established. This focus on preventative dentistry catches any potential tooth and gum problems early, so treatment can be conservative, preserving more of your child's tooth structure and making the treatment easier and more comfortable.

At the same time, this approach fosters a healthy, productive relationship between child and dentist, as well as a partnership between dentist and parent – both important to later dental success.

And by making every visit to the dentist a fun, informative one, Dr.Egger and his team hope to instill the importance of good at-home care, along with regularly scheduled visits to their office.

This Federal Way pediatric dentist and his team have created a special atmosphere that makes children feel welcome. With this expertise, care and concern for the whole family, Dr. Egger and his team ensure your child's
