Caring For Young Smiles Through Kids’ Dentistry

Our compassionate dental team is dedicated to making sure your child’s smile is healthy and happy. Helping them learn the proper way to care for their teeth while also keeping a close eye on their dental health is important to us.

We offer several children’s dental services, including:

• Teeth cleanings for their brightest and healthiest smiles
• Dental exams to catch small problems before they can cause big smile damage
• X-rays (when needed) for a closer look at their developing teeth, roots, and bones
• Fluoride treatments to prevent cavities and even reverse early-stage decay
• Tooth sealants to protect their teeth from disease-causing bacteria
• Tooth fillings to repair cavities and protect their other teeth and gums

Schedule Your Child’s First Dental Appointment

Your child should see the dentist for the first time by the age of 6 months, or when their first tooth starts coming in. Aberdeen Smiles takes a different approach to this first appointment than many other children’s dentists. At your child’s first dental appointment, we will help you understand what you can do to maintain their oral health. We will go over the importance of nutrition, not only for your child but for you as well. Your kids are always watching you and learning from you, so we show you ways you can set a good example for them.

We Can Help in Other Ways as Well

If your child sucks their thumb for too long, it could cause misalignment of their front teeth. Breaking your child of this habit early will help safeguard their smile against future orthodontic treatment. We can show you how to do this.

For some children, teething can be quite painful. There are several things you can do to help your child through the uncomfortable teething phase. Rubbing their gums will help ease their pain. You can also ask us about using age-appropriate pain medications.

Dr. Drake and Dr. Fettig will take wonderful care of your child. Call us today to schedule an appointment for pediatric dentistry in Aberdeen: (605) 277-9049.
