Your child's initial dental visit
At your child's first dental visit, our team of welcoming dental experts will make sure your little one feels relaxed and comfortable. We will take gentle x-rays, images, and photos to assess their oral health. Our goal is to educate children on good oral hygiene in a way that is easy for them to understand, reducing the need for future appointments.
Regular health checkups and preventive care
At Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics Rowlett, our team follows the guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), which suggest that children should receive checkups every six months. If we discover multiple cavities or early orthodontic concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits. Our goal during each appointment is to provide preventive dental care for children that supports their overall oral health and future success.
Crowns for Kids: Pediatric Dental Crowns
If your child has an oral injury or tooth decay, we may recommend a dental crown to protect the affected area. We offer restorations for children aged 5 and older, including same-day dental crowns using CEREC technology. This advanced method eliminates the need for temporary crowns and extra appointments.
Extractions of teeth for children
At Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics Rowlett, we offer preventive wisdom tooth extractions and removal of impacted teeth to safeguard children's oral health. This may include extracting one or more teeth due to cavities, missing adult molars, or potential risks to their oral health. You can rely on us to prioritize your child's overall well-being.
Dental sedation for kids
If your child struggles with anxiety, has unique healthcare needs, or requires extra support to feel calm during dental procedures, we provide specialized sedation dentistry services for children. Our team is experienced and caring, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for every child. Before your child's dental appointment, we will create a personalized sedation plan tailored to their specific needs and medical history.
