Why Parents Love Kidstown Dental

Maddie K.
AMAZING experience from start to finish. Super organized, kind, comprehensive. I brought my 1-year-old daughter for her first dentist appointment. They had so many toys for her to play with and she was so happy the whole time. They were really engaging with my daughter and really made her feel at home. They are very committed that your kids want to come back to the dentist. I wish every medical provider was like them. I am a very very impressed new customer and this will definitely be my kids’ full-time dentist
Alaina M.
Excellent all around. We had my infant daughter’s oral ties assessed with Kidstown everyone was so kind, professional and organized. The clinic for the oral ties was informative. I took my older daughter back two days later to have her assessed for a tongue tie and the entire process was great! I felt like all of my questions were answered and concerns were put to ease. I have already recommended you all and will continue to do so!
Amanda C.
My 5 year old son had to have a dental procedure where he had to be fully sedated. It was a scary process to go through and understand but the dentist, staff, and anesthesiologist were extremely transparent about the process- they called me in advance about what to expect. When we got there everyone was so warm and thoughtful- I received updates every so often while my son had his procedure. They truly went above and beyond to help make us comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.
Tifany L.
I was very impressed with Kidstown. We drove an hour and a half to use them because they came so highly recommended by our pediatrician. Once we were there I understood why they were so highly recommended. Everyone was polite, professional and really seemed to care about each client. We were there to get a frenotomy for our 1 month old and it went very smoothly. I also heard the dentists working with older kids and was so impressed with their kindness and patience with all ages
Ashlie C.
Staff A+++!! I was having a day with my newborn and very energetic toddler. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with my toddler.

We really appreciate every one of the staff members there. They treated us like we were the only patient, and there were about 8 other children in the clinic getting treatments.
Elise D.
This entire dental team took time to give education on procedures and how my child would benefit in the future. Their knowledge far exceeded my expectations as well as their natural approach to healing and pain management.

The staff went above and beyond to help me and my daughter when she had a tooth emergency. They stayed after hours and were extremely kind and helpful to us in every way! Would definitely recommend!
Szilvia S.
We went for my son’s 6 month dental check up. All staff were attentive, informative, caring and professional! Well done all and see you for our next visit! I can warmly recommend this place for your children’s dental needs.

From the time we walked, everyone was so inviting and friendly.The dentist was very kind and gentle and made sure my son was comfortable. She and her assistant were amazing. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their children to Kidstown Dental!
Amy S.
Excellent dentist for kids! It is important to us that our daughter has a positive experience at the dentist and builds lifelong healthy habits. Kidstown Dental always makes sure she is comfortable and also educates her on how to take good care of her teeth and gums. Highly recommend.
Lacy D.
I was highly impressed at how kind everyone was! I was also happy with all the help we received. I’m so happy I chose to go with Kidstown Dental to help my baby get her tongue and lip ties revised. Best decision I’ve ever made! It was definitely worth the 1+ hour drive.
Rebecca H.
I brought my son here for his frenectomy procedure. The process was so thorough. They take an interdisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes are met. I felt confident in the staff and in my understanding of the procedure and it's benefits. Every member of the staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have already referred friends to them! I could not be more pleased with the care we've been provided!
Chrissy C.
I have never been to a dentist where you felt calm and happy. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Not only did they treatmy son like VIP but so did my other 2 kids with me. They really took time with my son, made of fun for him and made us feel like we were top priority. I am so happy I came here because they made it so nice that my son asked if he could come back tomorrow.
Christy A.
We had a great visit! There was a very short wait. The Dentist got to us quickly and performed a very thorough but quick exam on my 3 year old and 1 year old. It was pleasant for them. After the exam, they explained everything well and were very clear on the next steps to take. I was very impressed!
Devon F.
We had a wonderful experience at Kidstown. Absolutely amazing staff. I told my husband if I could work anywhere, it would be a place like Kidstown Dental. I had a question about my son late last night at 8pm or 9pm and I got an immediate response. You seriously don't get this type of care and expertise anywhere else.
Gussie M.
The staff are real, very friendly, and down to earth. We were truly treated like family and felt welcomed. My 3 year old was so comfortable throughout the entire appointment and actually didn't want to leave. I was nervous it would be a stressful time for my daughter, but there's no doubt in my mind she'll willingly return for all upcoming appointments based on this easy, positive experience for her.

The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups for Children

Routine dental checkups are essential for keeping your child’s smile healthy at every stage of development. As children grow, their dental needs evolve, making regular visits key to preventing problems and ensuring proper oral development.
Infants & Toddlers (Ages 0-3)

Early Prevention & Habits

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. Early visits help monitor oral development, prevent cavities, and establish healthy habits. Our team provides gentle cleanings, checks for tongue or lip ties, and offers guidance on teething, pacifier use, and bottle habits.
Preschool & Early Elementary (Ages 4-7)

Building Strong Foundations

Tweens (Ages 8-12)

Monitoring Growth & Alignment

As baby teeth give way to permanent ones, our team closely monitors alignment, bite development, and potential orthodontic needs. Checkups help prevent cavities and address any emerging issues before they become major concerns.
Teens (Ages 13-18)

Protecting Long-Term Health

With braces, sports, and increased independence, teens face unique dental challenges. Routine checkups help prevent gum disease, address wisdom teeth development, and reinforce good hygiene habits as they transition into adulthood.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child have their first dental checkup?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early checkups help prevent cavities and establish a positive dental routine.

How often should my child see the dentist?

Children should visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. Regular visits allow early detection of dental issues and help reinforce healthy oral habits.

What happens during a pediatric dental checkup?

A typical children’s dental checkup includes a gentle cleaning, a thorough exam, possible fluoride treatment, and dental X-rays if needed. The dentist will also evaluate your child’s oral growth and development, checking for proper tooth alignment and jaw development. Additionally, we provide oral hygiene tips and dietary recommendations to help maintain a healthy smile.

Why are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?

Baby teeth guide the development of permanent teeth and support speech and chewing. Healthy baby teeth help prevent future alignment issues and reduce the risk of early tooth decay.

What can I do to prepare my child for their dental visit?

To make their first dental checkup stress-free, talk about the visit in a positive way, read books about going to the dentist, and choose a kid-friendly dental office with a welcoming environment.

Are dental X-rays safe for kids?

Yes! We use digital X-rays, which have the lowest radiation levels for safe imaging.

How can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?

Encourage daily brushing and flossing, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular dental cleanings and fluoride treatments to keep your child’s teeth cavity-free.

When should my child start using toothpaste with fluoride?

Children can start using fluoride toothpaste as soon as their first tooth appears, using a rice-sized amount for toddlers under 3 and a pea-sized amount for kids aged 3-6. For families choosing to avoid fluoride, remineralizing alternatives like nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste can also help strengthen enamel and protect teeth. Our team is happy to discuss the best options for your child’s oral health based on your preferences.

What if my child is afraid of the dentist?

A pediatric dentist specializes in making dental visits fun and anxiety-free. Choosing a kid-friendly dental office with gentle care, engaging distractions, and positive reinforcement can help ease your child’s fear.
