Taking your child to a kid’s dentist is part of their overall care, and choosing the right dentist is just as important as selecting the right pediatrician. You want team members you can trust and a dentist who is always welcoming.

#1 Early Detection and Prevention
Taking your child to a kid’s dentist in Gretna, LA, around their first birthday allows the dentist to monitor their oral development from the start. The dentist can see how the teeth are erupting and if there are any oral development concerns. We can also take measures to help prevent oral health issues in the future.
#2 Establish a Trusting Relationship
By bringing your child to a kid’s dentist early, our team can develop a trusting relationship and friendly bond with your little one. This helps prevent dental phobia later on. Our team is also happy to share advice with you about thumb sucking, pacifier use, nutrition, and more.
#3 Healthy Habits Instilled Early
A kid’s dentist can help instill healthy habits in your child. We can encourage brushing and praise them for a job well done. When the time comes, we can help transition them to independent brushing through hands-on tutorials. Additionally, we can talk to them in age-appropriate language about the importance of their teeth and gums.
#4 Some Kid’s Dentists Are Also Family Dentists
Some kid’s dentists treat patients of all ages, which means your entire family can get dental care in one convenient location. We can schedule family visits on the same day whenever possible to save you time.
#5 Your Family’s Dental Records in One Location
Rather than driving all over town or making several phone calls to access your family’s dental records, we can keep all their information in one convenient location.
