Convenient Access from Sherwood
Sherwood sits in the Tualatin Valley at the southeast corner of Washington County, and Everglow Dental is about 24 minutes north along country roads, at our office on SW Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha. For parents comparing a dentist Sherwood, OR kids and adults can both see, Dr. Kristy Lin offers checkups, children's care and prompt help when a tooth breaks.
Leave the Sherwood Public Library, which shares a building with City Hall on SW Pine St, and take SW Sherwood Blvd to OR 99W. After a short stretch on 99W, turn onto SW Roy Rogers Rd and follow it north for about 4.6 miles, then jog briefly west on SW Scholls Ferry Rd (OR 210). From there, SW Tile Flat Rd and SW Grabhorn Rd lead to SW 209th Ave, which runs north to Tualatin Valley Highway; turn right, and 20285 SW Tualatin Valley Hwy, Aloha, OR 97003 is just ahead, roughly 12.7 miles in all. Google Maps has the exact spot, and families in King City and Murrayhill can find their own pages too.
A Family Dental Home for Sherwood
Old Town gives Sherwood its center, with the Cannery Square plaza and its new artwork steps from the library. Near Old Town, Stella Olsen Memorial Park offers a playground, a pavilion and a wetlands path, and the Sherwood Center for the Arts adds gallery shows, classes and open mic nights. Outside town, the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge protects floodplain habitat near Sherwood, and the library even leads story hikes there.
The city lists youth sports, the Sherwood YMCA and the Field House among its community partners and facilities, so practices and games are part of family life here. Active play is great for kids and occasionally hard on teeth. Our office sees children and adults alike, which means a parent's cleaning and a child's checkup can happen in the same place, with the same dentist keeping track of everyone's history.
From first cleanings to clear aligners in the teen years and crowns for parents, most of a household's dental needs can be handled under one roof. Digital x-rays, an intraoral camera and CBCT imaging help Dr. Lin spot trouble early, and she reviews the images with you on a TV in the treatment room. Looking at the pictures together keeps every decision transparent, whether the patient is eight or forty-eight.
What Sherwood Parents Should Know About Dental Injuries
A chipped front tooth, a knocked-out tooth or a split lip after a collision are the kinds of surprises that send a parent straight to the phone. Speed helps: a knocked-out permanent tooth has its best chance when it is kept moist and seen quickly. Our team works hard to provide timely care for broken teeth and other urgent problems, so call as soon as it happens.
For new patients, our $39 Emergency Exam & X-Ray covers a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations, and it is available to new patients only. Mouth protection for contact sports is worth raising at a checkup, along with fluoride treatment that helps strengthen enamel for kids who sip sports drinks between plays.
Not every problem arrives with a bang. A tooth that aches with cold, gums that bleed when brushing or a dark spot on a molar can all be early warnings, and catching them at a routine visit keeps the fix small. Our hours run Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and we are closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so an early morning slot before school is often the easiest choice. Regular checkups also let Dr. Lin watch how a child's bite develops, which helps with timing if clear aligners come up later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Everglow Dental from Sherwood, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 12.7 miles from the Sherwood Public Library, around a 24-minute drive. Most of it follows SW Roy Rogers Rd, Grabhorn Rd and SW 209th Ave rather than a freeway, ending on TV Highway. Families weighing a dentist Sherwood, OR drivers can reach without freeway merges will find the route skips them entirely.
What is the first thing to do when a child breaks a tooth playing sports?
Rinse your child's mouth with water, save any broken pieces in a clean container and call our office. A small chip may only need smoothing or bonding, while a larger break can need a crown. If the tooth came out completely, keep it moist, ideally in milk, and come in as quickly as you can.
How often should my child get fluoride at the dentist?
For most children, topical fluoride is applied at regular checkups, which usually means about twice a year. Dr. Lin may suggest more if your child has had cavities or sips sugary drinks often. Our Child membership plan includes topical fluoride along with two exams and two cleanings for $25 a month.
Are clear aligners an option for teenagers?
Yes. SureSmile® and other clear aligners can straighten teeth for teens as well as adults, and Dr. Lin plans each case with digital imaging. Aligners are removable, so they come out for meals, brushing and sports, but they need to be worn most of the day to work. Retainers then hold the new position.
What if I feel anxious about dental visits?
Let us know when you book, and we will plan around it. Our team starts by asking about earlier experiences, sidesteps whatever bothered you then and talks you through every step as it comes. Oral sedation may be available for patients with stronger anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex; it is a prescribed medication taken before the appointment, with clear instructions given in advance.
