PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY IN CELINA AND PROSPER, TX
Making Children's Cleanings/Exams/Dental Care Easy and Fun!
Why does my child need Pediatric Dental Cleanings and Routine Care?
Oral Hygiene at home is the foundation of a healthy smile for a lifetime.
Caring for your child’s smile at an early age takes a caring and compassionate approach from our Dental Team.
Pediatric dental care revolves around educating your child on how to care for their smile on a daily basis.
Beyond proper brushing and flossing techniques, this includes tips for you as a parent on getting your child to make oral health important to them, as well.
Aside from providing high-quality care, pediatric dentistry also involves helping children feel comfortable visiting the dentist’s office and excited about learning to keep their smiles healthy.
At our office, we strive to make everyone feel at home, and we encourage parents to remain in the room during their children’s exams and treatments.
We also offer a number of amenities for children such as video games, a reading area, and TVs with headphones in the exam rooms.
For children who are especially anxious about visiting the dentist or undergoing dental treatment, we can also provide a safe dental sedation option, such as a combination of nitrous oxide and anti-anxiety medication (also known as oral conscious sedation).

Pediatric Dental Visit F.A.Q.'s
If necessary, we can address baby bottle decay, which can begin to develop in children as young as one year old.
We see children as young as six months old, whether they have teeth yet or not, and can evaluate for signs of tongue-tie and frenulum issues. Addressing such issues early can significantly improve feeding, speech, and airway development.
Pediatric dentistry also focuses on prevention through regular checkups and cleanings, as well as treatments such as fluoride applications and dental sealants. Fluoride treatments bolster your child’s tooth enamel by strengthening it on a molecular level. We also offer silver diamine fluoride that help stop cavity progression in its tracks.
Dental sealants enhance their teeth’s protection by creating an additional barrier between your child’s natural tooth structure and the harmful oral bacteria that can lead to cavities.
If a baby tooth needs to come out early, we can also provide space maintainers to keep surrounding teeth in place and prevent overcrowding/spacing issues.
If a tooth cavity does develop, then we can custom-design and place a conservative tooth-colored filling to stop the cavity from growing. Unlike metal fillings, the resin that tooth-colored fillings are made from does not break down or change shape over time, meaning they offer more effective and biocompatible treatment for young smiles.
We are a family dentist located in Celina, Texas (TX), serving patients of all ages from Prosper, Gunter, Aubrey, Frisco, Anna, and the surrounding areas.
