Children's dentistry
Children's dentistry in Fayetteville
We believe every patient needs a unique approach to their care. Your child's needs can be different from an adult's, and we want to treat those differences with intention.
Why children's dentistry matters
Starting early to prevent problems later
If left unattended from an early age, teeth and gums can quickly develop long-lasting issues that get harder to treat with age. Beginning proper oral care during childhood can prevent many of these issues, and it sets your child up for a healthy smile in the years to come.
So many of these things are preventable, and starting early makes dental health much easier for years ahead. We are here for your Northwest Arkansas children's dentistry needs, and we want to meet your child where they are.
Unique care for younger ages
What children's dentistry includes
Cleanings
Early and regular cleanings help keep your child's smile as healthy as possible, for as long as possible.
Check-ups
Regular, early check-ups let us find and fix issues as early as we can, which makes dental health much easier down the road.
Dental x-rays
X-rays show us how your child's teeth and gums are developing, so we can build a more personal treatment plan.
Dental education
We teach proper brushing techniques, and the best part is this is care your child can bring home with them.
Common questions about children's dentistry
Do cavities hurt?
If left untreated, cavities can cause toothaches. Once your child comes in to get a cavity filled, the discomfort goes away shortly afterward. If your child is prone to cavities, a dental sealant for their molars can help, sealing the teeth from the bacteria and plaque that cause cavities.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
The first thing to remember is that there is nothing to be ashamed of. We want to meet your child where they are, with no judgment and no shame, and help them feel calm in the chair.
When should my child start seeing the dentist?
The sooner the better. Early and regular cleanings and check-ups help us find and fix issues as early as possible, which makes dental health much easier for years to come.
