Healthy Smiles for Kids of All Ages

At 1st Family Dental of Addison, we enjoy working with children of all ages. In fact, we have operatories specifically designed to help kids enjoy their visit and actually have fun at the dentist office. Our dental team is also very experienced and well trained when it comes to working with children of all ages.

Whether your child is ready for their regular dental check-up or in need of a specific dental treatment, oral health education is big part of our process. When it comes to pediatric dentistry, we strive to incorporate teaching techniques and helpful tips to help our young patients get excited about cleaning and caring for their teeth.

Our pediatric dental services include:

•      dental exams and x-rays
•      fillings
•      extractions
•      root canals for baby teeth (pulpotomies)
•      dental sealants
•      pediatric orthodontics
•      space maintainers
•      stainless steel dental crowns
•      tooth colored crowns

In addition to the services above, our dental office also provides specialized pediatric treatments and services, including nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas”, as an available dental sedation and comfort measure for kids. Nitrous Oxide is known as one of the safest and most effective dental sedation techniques for children, and can help kids receive the pediatric dental care they need.

Your Child’s First Visit to the Dentist

A lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles starts with healthy habits. Getting your child comfortable and excited for daily at-home dental care routines, like regular brushing, and with visiting the dentist twice per year starts at a young age.

Many parents ask us what the right age is for a child’s first dental visit. At 1st Family Dental, we recommend children visit the dentist for the first time around their first birthday, or within six months of receiving their first tooth. This initial visit is the first step towards getting your child comfortable with the dentist office and the dental team. Our goal with these first few visits is to help them have an enjoyable experience and start getting excited for future dental visits.
