Dentistry for KidsWelcome to our dentistry practice, where we specialize in providing comprehensive oral care for children of all ages. At Rolling Plains Dentistry, we understand the importance of fostering positive dental experiences from a young age to promote a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our team is dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming environment where children feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits. From preventive care to specialized treatments, we are here to support your child's oral health journey every step of the way. Dentistry for Kids Focuses on Preventive CareOne of the cornerstones of modern dentistry is preventing disease. This is why so much emphasis is placed on check-ups, so that any problems are detected early, and can be dealt with by minimal treatments, rather than waiting for the problem to become bigger when more complex interventions are often required. We will explain to your child the need for maintaining oral health and preventing disease, and how they can develop healthy habits that will help them keep their teeth healthy for a lifetime. We Offer a Child Friendly EnvironmentOur children's dentists use equipment designed specifically for children, and we use comforting verbiage in explaining what our cleaning tools are used for, so as not to make kids anxious. We offer activities to distract your child while they are waiting for their appointment, including toys, games, books, and more. Our office caters to children by having kid-friendly furniture and is decorated with murals and bright, primary colors. The emphasis is on fun - and as children are different from adults, why shouldn't they be given special attention? Monitoring the Health of Baby Teeth is ImportantJust as in adults, children's teeth need regular care and maintenance. Unfortunately, many parents do not see that their child's baby teeth are important, as they figure they will just fall out anyway. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth as children's baby teeth are placeholders for adult teeth. If they fall out prematurely, the other teeth may fill the gaps, which means the adult teeth will emerge crooked. Thus, as soon as your child's first tooth comes through, you should embark on their dental care routine, with regular teeth cleaning and visits to a dentist who can monitor your child's development carefully.
