Problems like tooth decay and cavities can develop as early as two years old. MINT dentistry suggests you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are a year and a half, so a MINT dental professional can check for any development problems. Your child may have their baby teeth for a while, so it is important that they stay healthy while they wait for their adult teeth to grow in. This starts with scheduling appointments every six months for a professional cleaning.

At the start of your child's appointment, we want to help them feel safe so they have a positive experience. We will explain everything that is being done and why so they feel more comfortable with the process. They will put on MINT sunglasses as they relax in a comfortable treatment chair. One of our MINT team members will begin a simple exam of your child’s mouth and then a quick cleaning. Proactive treatments like sealants or fluoride may be recommended to strengthen and protect your child's teeth as they develop. If we find a problem, we'll develop a personalized plan for treatment that focuses on your child's needs and comfort level. Our office is committed to using advanced dental technology and modern techniques to ensure our pediatric procedures are effective but also fast and comfortable.

Should we find a concern in your child’s dental exam, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment for treatment. Every dentist and team member at MINT dentistry is skilled at comprehensive dental care for your family that fits your needs. If your child needs an orthodontic treatment, a filling for a cavity, or care after a dental injury, we are happy to help. For healthy teeth and gums, MINT dentistry recommends you visit our office every six months for your child. To maintain the results of a cleaning or another procedure, we suggest following a daily home care routine, which we will help demonstrate to your child.

Cleanings twice a year along with an annual pediatric dental exam are generally included if you have dental insurance. If a treatment or procedure is required, we will speak to your insurance provider to determine your benefits and out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have dental insurance, MINT dentistry takes many payment methods so you can easily fit your child's dental care into your budget. MINT dentistry believes that a healthy mouth and beautiful smile are invaluable assets, and we are committed to helping your family. Ask our team to learn more about the MINT Discount Plan.
