​Preventative Care

Regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and fluoride treatments are key to keeping your child’s teeth healthy and strong. These routine visits help catch potential issues early, prevent cavities, and maintain a bright, confident smile.

Preventative care also teaches children the importance of oral hygiene from a young age. By establishing healthy habits now, you’re helping your child enjoy a lifetime of strong teeth and overall dental health. At Tide & Timber Pediatric Dentistry, we make these visits gentle, fun, and educational for every child.

Restorative Care

Restorative care helps repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury, using treatments like fillings, crowns, or other dental restorations. These procedures protect the tooth, restore its function, and prevent further problems, keeping your child comfortable and their smile healthy.

At Tide & Timber Pediatric Dentistry, we focus on gentle, child-friendly care during restorative procedures. Our goal is not only to fix the tooth but also to help your child feel at ease and learn that dental visits can be positive experiences. Restorative care ensures your child’s smile stays strong for years to come.

Relaxing Care

For children who feel anxious or nervous about dental visits, sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or general anesthesia can help them stay calm and comfortable. These methods ensure that necessary treatments can be completed safely and effectively, without stress for your child.

Here, we prioritize your child’s comfort and safety. Our gentle approach, combined with professional sedation options, helps children feel at ease, making dental visits a positive experience and encouraging lifelong healthy habits.

​Space Maintenance

When a baby tooth is lost too early, it can affect how permanent teeth grow in. Space maintainers are gentle dental devices that hold the space open, giving adult teeth the room they need to come in correctly. This helps prevent crowding, misalignment, and future orthodontic issues.

At Tide & Timber Pediatric Dentistry, we use space maintenance to guide your child’s smile as it develops. Our team ensures the process is comfortable and easy for your child, supporting healthy growth and helping set the stage for a strong, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

​Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays provide safe, low-dose images that allow us to see how your child’s teeth are developing beneath the surface. They help us identify cavities, alignment issues, and other dental problems early—before they become more serious.

Using these advanced imaging tools, our team can provide accurate, gentle care tailored to your child. With clear images, we can create personalized treatment plans, monitor growth, and help your child maintain a healthy, strong smile for years to come.

About Us

At our pediatric dental practice, we provide personalized care tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our priority is to create positive, comfortable dental experiences that help children build trust, reduce fear, and understand the importance of lifelong oral health.

We value parents as active partners in their child’s care, encouraging open communication and support at home. With pride and gratitude, we are honored to serve families in Whatcom County and beyond.

What parents are saying about Dr. Mitch

Exceptional at what he does

“Thanks to Dr. Mitch, my daughter now has a strong, positive foundation for her oral health, and as both a parent and someone who has had the privilege of working alongside him, I can say with complete confidence that he is exceptional at what he does.”

Built her confidence and trust

“I cannot recommend Dr. Mitch enough. My daughter had a terrible experience with a previous dentist, and by the time we came to Dr. Mitch, she was absolutely terrified of the dental office. She was unwilling to cooperate or allow any treatment to be done. Over the course of a year, Dr. Mitch patiently built her confidence and trust. With his encouragement and gentle approach, she eventually felt safe enough to receive treatment in office, something I never thought possible.”

Best pediatric dentists, hands down!

“Dr. Mitch is one of the best pediatric dentists, hands down! I’ve met more than half a dozen different dentist through the years and both my experience as a parent and my girls’ experiences as patients have been exceptional! He is kind, compassionate, friendly, gentle, and extraordinarily patient. He is also very informative to me as a parent and to my girls with any questions we have while thoroughly explaining any treatment recommendations and why they were recommended. He always takes his time to answer any questions we have and best of all… my girls absolutely love him!”

Truly creates a safe and supportive environment

“Dr. Mitch truly creates a safe and supportive environment for children. He takes the time to build genuine rapport, allowing kids to move at their own pace. He is not only caring and knowledgeable, but also incredibly respectful of parents. He explains everything clearly, involves us in every decision, and educates without ever making anyone feel judged.”

Truly cares about his patients

"Dr. Mitch is one of the best dentists we have seen. Before coming to his office my kids were scared to step foot into a dentist office, after a few visits with Dr. Mitch that fear turned into excitement! He’s gentle, knowledgeable, doesn’t over treat and truly cares about his patients!"

10 / 10!

“Dr. Mitch has seen both my children aged 4 and 8 and is great with them both. He provides a welcoming safe space for my children while providing me feedback on how they’re doing and tips on how to improve their at home routines. 10/10!”

Children look forward to their appointments

"Dr. Mitch is the kind of dentist every parent wants for their kids. Since we started seeing him, all five of my children actually look forward to their appointments. He’s created an environment where they feel at ease instead of anxious. He’s kind, compassionate, and always so gentle with them. Truly the best!"
