At Kentlands Dental, we love helping little smiles grow up healthy and strong. From a child’s first visit to their teenage years, our goal is to make dental care fun, positive, and empowering.
Why Children Need Specialized Dental Care
Children aren’t just small adults—they have unique needs, growing teeth, and developing habits. Pediatric dental care sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Our team knows how to work with kids of all ages, including those who are shy, anxious, or on the autism spectrum. We speak their language and create an experience that makes them feel safe.
When Should My Child Start?
The American Dental Association recommends a first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. Early visits help us catch small issues before they become bigger ones.
What We Offer for Kids
A Stress-Free Experience
We know going to the dentist can be a big deal for kids (and parents too!). That’s why we:
Building Healthy Habits Early
We teach kids how to brush and floss, and we coach parents on nutrition and hygiene tips to support healthy teeth at home.
What If My Child Is Nervous?
We’re experienced with dental anxiety in children. For especially anxious kids or those needing more involved treatment, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in a safe, monitored setting.
