Comprehensive Preventive Dental Services for Children
We customize every dental care plan to meet the unique needs of your child. From the first tooth to their teenage years, our advanced preventive services include:
Gentle Exams and Professional Cleanings
Routine check-ups are the foundation of your child’s oral health. Our gentle dental exams monitor the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws. Our professional cleanings safely remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your little one with a bright, fresh smile.
Dental Hygiene Education for Kids & Parents
We empower our educated patients! Our team takes the time to teach your child proper brushing and flossing techniques using fun, age-appropriate methods. We also provide nutritional counseling and a dedicated “Parent’s Corner” to help you make informed decisions at home.
Fluoride and Hydroxyapatite Treatments
We offer customizable remineralization treatments based on your family’s preferences. We provide safe, effective fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel, as well as fluoride-free alternatives like Hydroxyapatite, a natural mineral that helps rebuild and protect developing teeth.
BPA-Free Dental Sealants
Sealants are a highly effective way to prevent cavities in the deep grooves of molars. At Kids 1st Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s health and safety are our top priorities. We exclusively use BPA-free dental sealants (such as Ultradent and Ivoclar Vivadent) to provide a safe, protective barrier against decay-causing bacteria.
Custom Mouth Guards and Nightguards
Whether your child is an active athlete or grinds their teeth at night, we offer custom-fitted mouth guards and nightguards. These appliances protect teeth, lips, and gums from sports-related injuries and prevent the premature wear of baby and permanent teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my child visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a dental check-up every six months. Regular visits allow us to monitor dental development and prevent cavities before they start.

Yes! As an integrative pediatric dental practice, we proudly offer fluoride-free treatments like Hydroxyapatite to strengthen teeth naturally. We respect your choices and provide the options you need for your child’s care.
Are your dental sealants safe?
Absolutely. We use high-quality, 100% BPA-free dental materials for all our sealants and preventive treatments to ensure the highest standards of health and safety for your child.

Sealants are typically applied when the first permanent molars come in, usually around age 6, and again when the second permanent molars emerge around age 12.
