Age-Specific Pediatric Dental Care at Espire Dental Cheyenne

We know that children’s dental needs change as they grow, so we offer age-specific care to ensure that each child gets the attention they need:‍

‍Under 3 Years Old (30 Minutes):
‍We offer "Happy Visits" for our youngest patients to help them get used to the dental office. These visits include a gentle hygiene cleaning and a fun introduction to the dental chair. It’s a great way to start building positive dental experiences early on.‍
Ages 3-12 (30 Minutes):
For kids ages 3-12, we provide regular child exams and cleanings. These appointments include a thorough hygiene cleaning, a check-up to ensure teeth are developing correctly, and fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel. Our friendly team takes extra steps to make sure young patients feel safe and at ease.‍
Ages 13-18 (1 Hour):
‍Teenagers receive regular adult hygiene exams, which include a comprehensive cleaning and dental evaluation. We also provide education on oral hygiene habits, as teenagers often face unique dental challenges such as braces, sports-related dental protection, and wisdom teeth considerations.‍
Ages 18 and Up (1.5 Hours):
‍As young adults transition into adulthood, we offer adult hygiene visits that include a more in-depth cleaning, dental exam, and personalized recommendations to maintain optimal oral health.

The Top 5 Most Important Reasons for Early Childhood Dental Care

‍Prevent Cavities and Tooth Decay: Regular dental visits help detect early signs of decay, allowing for prompt treatment.‍
Promote Healthy Habits: Teaching children good oral hygiene practices from a young age can set them up for lifelong dental health.‍
Monitor Growth and Development: Pediatric dentists can spot alignment issues or developmental concerns and recommend early intervention.‍
Reduce Dental Anxiety: Positive early dental experiences can help prevent dental fear and anxiety in the future.‍
Support Speech Development: Healthy teeth and gums are crucial for proper speech development and chewing function.

At what age should my child start seeing a dentist?

We recommend scheduling a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first.

How often should children visit the dentist?

Children should have dental check-ups and cleanings every six months to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Are fluoride treatments safe for kids?

Yes, fluoride treatments are safe and help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.

How can I help my child feel less anxious about visiting the dentist?

Start dental visits early, use positive language about the dentist, and bring comfort items like a favorite toy. We also make visits fun with our "Happy Visits."

Does my child need dental sealants?

Dental sealants are highly recommended for children to protect the back teeth from cavities, especially if they are prone to decay.

What if my child has a dental emergency?

Contact our office immediately if your child has a dental emergency. We prioritize emergency appointments to provide fast relief and effective treatment.
