Best Kids Dentist In Elk Grove

Providing you and your kids with extraordinary friendly orthodontic dental care is always our mission at Make a Smile Dental. Our pediatric dental team is passionate about teaching all our patients about the prevention of dental disease as they grow into an adult, which starts in our fun and interactive office environment designed just for kids. Our superb dental staff at Make a Smile kids is always delighted to see infants, children, and young adults in the office. 

We guarantee that your family will love our interactive waiting room which has been designed with kids in mind! We also provide movies in treatment rooms, video games, and lots of toys to help keep them happy and feeling safe while they wait for their appointment! Each of our dental professionals go out of their way to work one on one with you and your kids, fully explaining diagnoses and providing you with a strong sense of confidence in your child’s treatment options. We do, however, encourage parents to join their children in treatment rooms if they wish to do so – just in case it would ease any anxiety coming from the patient.

Make a Smile Children’s Dental and Orthodontics office is welcoming to all cases: patients of a young age, kids who require an extra-gentle hand with behavioral management, and clients with special needs. Our office is always up to date with the newest dentistry technology, entertainment, and distraction techniques. Our focus goes way beyond caring for your teeth which is why we offer a variety of sedation services including in-office nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV, and hospital dentistry.

Your Child’s First Pediatric Dental Visit

You might come into our pediatric dentist office more anxious than your children on his or her first visit, so try your best to stay relaxed! Our office is full of state-of-the-art orthodontics technology and vastly different from the pediatric dentistry office you remember as a child. You will be delighted to see how comfortable you and your children will feel in our office. A positive outlook on dentistry starts with your child’s initial dental visit, and aids in successfully creating a life-long preventative plan for your child. Your child’s first dental visit should be scheduled as soon as their first tooth erupts or before their first birthday. At your kids initial visit, you can expect:

• A thorough review of your child’s medical and dental history
• Helpful tips on keeping your child’s teeth clean after nursing or
  Bottle-feeding to avoid decay
• Instruction on proper brushing techniques
• A comprehensive, non-invasive exam to check soft tissue and
  tooth eruption
• A visit to the toy chest!

You may join your child during treatment at any time, however, we also welcome you to enjoy movies, toys, and video games with your other kids in our reception area. If you do plan on coming with your child during dental care services and treatment, try not to bring other children to that appointment, as space is limited in offices.

You should continue bringing in your child every 6 months following their first dental appointment or orthodontics appointment for evaluations, professional cleanings, and general oral health exams. Keeping up with regular dentist visits, as well as brushing and flossing will reduce the risk of tooth decay.

KIDS WITH SPECIAL PATIENT HEALTH CARE NEEDS

Our Make a Smile pediatric dentist strives to provide the best dental care for your family. Some patients often present dentists with unique challenges to pediatric dentistry, such as those with significant medical, physical, or mental care disabilities. At our Elk Grove dental location, our pediatric dentists have received special training to be able to best treat special needs patients in our practice, resulting in the formation of lasting friendships with them and their caregivers. 

Our efforts to significantly reduce the risk of preventative dental problems in our special needs patients is by teaching children and their caregivers preventative oral health techniques to protect their dental health. Thank you for the opportunity to be your children’s dental option – we can’t wait to see your magic smile! Our dental patients are our top priority and our Make a Smile staff is here to help and to provide high-quality dental care.
