Caring for smiles at every stage of life
At Rogue Valley Dental Center, we provide comprehensive dental care for the entire family. From your child’s first tooth to their teenage years and beyond, our Medford family dentist offers personalized, gentle dentistry that helps patients of all ages feel comfortable and confident in the chair.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where families feel supported, informed, and cared for.
Starting early for lifelong oral health
We recommend bringing your child in around their first birthday to begin healthy dental habits early. Our Medford family dentist will gently perform a knee-to-knee exam with your child seated in your lap.
This calming, low-pressure visit helps familiarize little ones with the dental setting and gives us a chance to review oral hygiene tips with parents. We include comforting amenities like a treasure chest of prizes, and we have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) available when needed to ease anxiety.
And if your child needs specialized care, we’re conveniently located next to a trusted pediatric dentist, making referrals for more complex cases quick and seamless.

Family Dentistry FAQs
At what age should I bring my child to the dentist?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit around age 1 or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. This helps establish comfort and good habits early on.
Do you offer sedation for children?
While we do not administer sedation in our office, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety. If your child needs deeper sedation, we work closely with a neighboring pediatric specialist for easy referral.
Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes! Baby teeth help with chewing, speaking, and guiding permanent teeth into position. Keeping them healthy supports long-term oral development.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
We’re experts in creating a calming environment. With a gentle approach, parent participation, and fun incentives like a treasure chest, our Medford family dentist helps even nervous little ones feel at ease.

“Dr. Burnham and his support staff were nothing short of fantastic! This office provided me with the best experience I’ve had in a dental chair, and I’m a huge baby when it comes to dental work! Dr. Burnham is meticulous and incredibly skilled in his profession.”
“This is the BEST office I’ve ever been to! I have had a fear of dentists in the past and have tried several. Dr. Taucher is patient, kind, and exceedingly gentle. He’s helped me with cavities, replacing old fillings, root canals, crowns, & teeth whitening. His staff is kind, efficient, and beyond helpful!”
“Dr. Taucher is fantastic — and all of the work he has done so far has been meticulous, pain-free, and never-rushed. He always takes time to explain what is going on, but also to talk through my dental plan in detail and answer any questions.”
