Is your child in need of a new dentist in St. Louis? Whether you want to get them on track with regular cleanings and checkups, they have a cavity that needs to be taken care of, or a dental emergency has popped up, we’re here to help! Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we are asked about pediatric dentistry in St. Louis. If you don’t see the information that you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
If your child is experiencing a life-threatening dental emergency, call 911. Otherwise, it is best for them to see a dentist. Most hospital ERs and quick care clinics aren’t equipped to handle dental emergencies, so your child is unlikely to get treated there. The first step when your child has a dental emergency is to give us a call. This way, you can explain what’s going on to a member of our staff. They can help to schedule your child for a same-day appointment. During your child’s appointment, we will examine their teeth to get to the root of the problem, help reduce any pain they are experiencing, and put together a treatment plan to restore the health of their smile!
All dentists must complete dental school. However, specialists opt to continue their education with multiple years of additional specialized training. As for pediatric dentists, their training consists of gaining extensive knowledge in treating infants, children, adolescents, and kids with special needs. Since we treat children, our goal is to make our practice as fun and kid-friendly as possible! That’s why we chose to make each of our treatment rooms have a fun theme. Going to the dentist doesn’t need to be boring or intimidating!
The best way to get your child ready for their first dental visit in St. Louis is to maintain a positive attitude yourself. Even if you don’t mean to, it is easy for children to pick up on apprehension from their patients. You can help to prepare them by showing them the photos from the “Tour Our Office” section of our website. You could even read a fun storybook about the dental office – like Curious George Visits the Dentist. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our friendly team members!
