I absolutely love this office. I have been bringing my boys here for years and have never had a bad experience. Not one thing to complain about. The dentist are so patient and caring. They explain everything they do to the patients and makes my boys feel comfortable. The hygienists are very good too. They always have my insurance figured out even for last minuet treatments. I have never been more impressed by an office before.

When is it a good time to bring your child to the dentist?
Pediatric Dentistry Experts Recommend a Checkup by Your Child's First Birthday
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all recommend that children attend their first dental visit by age one.
Many parents believe that baby teeth do not require as much care as permanent teeth, but healthy baby teeth can help your youngster maintain proper chewing, nutrition, speech development, and permanent teeth development.
During your first appointment at our Rowlett, TX, office, we will provide professional in-office treatment as well as key information about infant oral hygiene. We offer the tools you need to maintain healthy smiles at home. Our pediatric dentists strongly believe in the importance of patient (and parent) education and look forward to partnering with you to keep your little one's smile healthy and beautiful.

A Focus on Preventative Treatments
We are a prevention-focused dental practice, which means our doctors work hard to prevent oral health issues before the onset of symptoms. Our pediatric dentists can provide these effective preventative measures:
A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating that is applied to the biting surface of a molar or premolar. The sealant works as a protective shield for the teeth, preventing cavities from forming.
:quality(100)/https://einstein-assets.imgix.net/686118100.jpg)
Fluoride helps prevent cavities and the erosion of tooth enamel. Regular fluoride treatment can help children avoid tooth decay and have a much healthier smile.
If your child is a young athlete, a mouthguard is a smart investment. This essential athletic safety gear protects the teeth from trauma during sports such as basketball, soccer, and football.
Common Pediatric Dental Services
In addition to preventative care, our Rowlett, TX, dental office provides a full range of general and restorative procedures that improve the health and appearance of young people's smiles.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our team offers white fillings made of composite resin. Unlike metal fillings, white fillings blend in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. If we cannot complete the treatment for any reason, we might recommend silver diamine fluoride, a material that works to arrest dental decay, until we can place a restoration.
Stainless Steel Crowns
For children who have extensive fractures or tooth decay that cannot be managed with a white filling, we offer stainless steel crowns and stainless steel crowns with white coverings. These durable restorations allow children to bite and chew again without experiencing pain or tooth sensitivity.
Orthodontics
It's best for crooked teeth to be treated sooner rather than later. Even a mild case of malocclusion can have negative effects on your oral health in adulthood. Our pediatric dentistry team can provide orthodontic space maintainers, braces, or FASTBRACES® for children who need efficient orthodontic treatment.
Endodontics
Cavities affect more than just the teeth. The oral bacteria that cause decay can also infect the pulp located within a tooth, resulting in a root canal infection. Our doctors can perform pulpotomies (root canals for young children) using advanced materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Frenectomies
During a frenectomy, one of our doctors can remove overgrown soft tissue within the mouth. This procedure can help children with their speech and eating habits, or babies who are having trouble nursing. When possible, we use lasers rather than scalpels to reduce anxiety and minimize infection risk.
Tooth Extractions
Whenever possible, we work to preserve baby teeth and permanent teeth using preventative and restorative techniques. When severely damaged teeth cannot be saved, we can perform gentle tooth extractions.
Putting Children at Ease A Pediatric Dentist Who Cares
/
We understand that many kids are afraid of going to the dentist, especially very young children. To help young patients feel at ease and build a positive association with dentistry, we maintain a calm, child-friendly atmosphere. We also help young patients understand procedures, so they aren't so scary anymore. No matter how young, we treat every visitor the way we would treat one of our own family members.
We Proudly Offer Pediatric Sedation Helping Kids Feel Relaxed During Their Visit
Explaining dental treatments in a child-friendly way usually helps kids relax. If a child still feels uneasy about sitting in the dentist's chair, we have other safe methods of overcoming anxiety.
Our Rowlett, TX, pediatric dental practice offers sedation dentistry to make each visit more comfortable. We have nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral medications, or intravenous (IV) sedation. Our dentists can help you choose a method of sedation that meets your youngster's unique needs, helping them feel comfortable in the moment while decreasing their anxiety about future appointments.
We closely monitor children when using sedation techniques in order to ensure their absolute safety.

View On GoogleTips From the Dentist Caring for Your Child's Teeth at Home
Regular dental visits at our Rowlett office can ensure problems are caught early and your child's oral health is cared for professionally; however, creating great dental habits begins at home. During your child's first visit, your pediatric dentist will provide some tips on caring for your child's smile between visits, such as:
Avoid Sugary Drinks Before Bedtime
Sending your child to bed with a bottle of milk or juice may get them to settle down quickly, but the sugar in these drinks will sit in your child's mouth all night, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and leading to eventual tooth decay. After brushing your child's teeth, avoid letting them drink any beverages other than water before bedtime.
Eat Tooth-Friendly Foods
Certain foods can be better or worse for your child's oral health. Often, kids receive a large amount of sugar from consuming too many juices and not enough water. Cut down on the amount of sugar your child consumes and give them foods and drinks with tooth-friendly nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and iron.
Make Brushing Fun
It can be tedious to brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day as an adult, let alone as a child. Make brushing fun by playing your child’s favorite song for two minutes or incorporate a physical timer, such as a sand hourglass, so your child can see how much longer they have to brush.
From Childhood to Adulthood Our Dentists Are Here for You

The advantage of a family dental care practice like ours is that young patients can transition from Dr. Ramsey to her husband, Dr. Montoya, who treats adult patients. This allows our Rowlett, TX, practice to maintain a continuity of care for your dental health at every stage of your life.
