We Care For Young Smiles Through Gentle Kids’ Dentistry

Our kind and compassionate dental team is dedicated to making sure your child’s smile is healthy and happy through every season of life. 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 crucial 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
  • Safe digital 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 teeth

Trust Us With Your Child’s First Dental Appointment

Your child should see the dentist for the first time by 6 months old, 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.

See What Else We Can Do For Your Kids

Many things can come up in the course of childhood that may not even be on your radar yet. If your child sucks their thumb for too long, for example, it could cause misalignment of their front teeth. Breaking your child of this habit early will help safeguard their smile against future orthodontic treatment or prolonged treatment. We can show you how to do this.

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

Dr. Drake will take wonderful care of your child. Call us today to schedule an appointment for pediatric dentistry in Aberdeen at 605-277-9049, or use our to schedule online.

Common Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

What is pediatric dentistry?

If your child has teeth, then your child can develop tooth decay. Pediatric dental care addresses these specific types of oral health needs for patients as young as 6 months old. We want to prevent problems and answer any questions you may have about caring for your children’s teeth at home. Our team also goes out of our way to make your little one’s first appointment fun and enjoyable.

How often is pediatric dental care needed?

As with adults, children should get regular checkups every six months. This gives us an opportunity to remove plaque and tartar, which can prevent cavities and gum disease. We also can find decay and gum infections in the early stages, when they are easier to treat. These visits also give us a chance to provide education for your children about daily oral care habits.

Why is pediatric dentistry important?

Pediatric dental care is important for a few reasons. First and foremost, it can help your children develop good oral care habits, which can last for life. Second, having a relationship with people they know and trust can reduce dental anxiety. Third, we can help prevent problems or treat them before they get out of hand.
