Our Las Vegas Pediatric Dental Services
Regular Cleanings
No one can clean your teeth like your dentist. Pediatric dentists take extra care to gently remove plaque and strengthen teeth with fluoride. Cleaning is recommended every six months.
Braces
Childhood is the best time for braces. Our orthodontists will put in, maintain, and take out all types of braces with the utmost care.
Stainless steel crowns
If baby teeth decay, stainless steel crowns will help to keep the tooth strong and prevent pain or discomfort until the child loses the tooth.
X-Rays
No one can clean your teeth like your dentist. Pediatric dentists take extra care to gently remove plaque and strengthen teeth with fluoride. Cleaning is recommended every six months.
Sealants
Sealants create a protective layer over teeth to prevent cavities. Children with certain diets, dental hygiene habits, or genetic traits may benefit from sealant.
Extractions
Sometimes teeth aren’t spaced out properly and they become too crowded. In this case, extraction is needed.
Pediatric Dentist in Las Vegas FAQ
When young children take on the responsibility of caring for their own teeth (usually at the age of 6-8), their habits may be imperfect. Parents should supervise children and inspect their teeth to make sure that they are cleaning all areas of their mouth properly. Our pediatric dentists can also provide feedback on your child’s job and give tips on how their habits can be improved.
While dentists work hard to encourage good habits and prevent tooth decay, it is still incredibly common. Cavities are the result of tooth decay, and are the most common childhood dental issue. Cavities can be filled to strengthen a child’s teeth, and if left untreated can lead to bite alignment issues, infections and severe tooth pain.

Most parents are surprised to learn that their child should visit the dentist for the first time at about a year old. This is about the time that a child’s first tooth comes in, and the others are quick to follow. A child should visit the dentist for the first time at this young age so they can get the best protection against tooth decay. Though this might be surprising, young children can also get tooth decay, often called “baby bottle tooth decay.” If a child’s first tooth is damaged when it comes in, it can be a sign that their other teeth will also be damaged when they come in. Seeing a dentist early on can help to prevent this.
Many children are nervous about seeing a dentist for the first time. We have dentists specializing in children’s dentistry that can help make this experience easier. At Affordable Dental for Kids, Discount Dental, and Affordable Dental in North Las Vegas, our dentists and dental hygienists have extensive experience working with children.
Children’s teeth tend to be more vulnerable than adults’ teeth, so children’s dentistry services are different. For example, children are often given fluoride treatments to help protect and reinforce their teeth, while adults generally don’t. Braces and other orthodontic measures are also generally ideal for children, so they can benefit from a straight, beautiful smile later in life. Our dentists also cater to children’s needs to help make the experience enjoyable and less intimidating. Visiting a dentist who is experienced in working with children will help to put your child’s mind at ease.
