What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers, including those with special needs. Children’s teeth, gums, and mouths undergo rapid development, making early dental care essential. Regular visits to a pediatric dentist help prevent cavities, detect potential issues early, and establish good oral hygiene habits.

At Acadiana Smiles, our team is trained to handle the unique needs of young patients, ensuring that every visit is comfortable and stress-free. We take a compassionate approach to treatment, using gentle techniques and child-friendly language to create a positive dental experience.

Kid-Friendly Dental Services at Acadiana Smiles

We offer a full range of pediatric dental services designed to keep your child’s smile healthy and bright.

First Dental Visits – A Comfortable Start

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. A child’s first dental visit is an important milestone, and we make it a fun and educational experience. Our team takes the time to introduce children to the dental environment, explaining each step in a way that eases anxiety.

During the first visit, we will:

Perform a gentle exam to check for any early signs of decay or developmental concerns
Provide guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and diet for optimal oral health
Answer any questions parents may have about teething, thumb-sucking, or bottle feeding habits

Preventive Care for Healthy Smiles

Preventive dental care is key to avoiding cavities and keeping your child’s teeth strong. Our pediatric services include:

Dental Cleanings & Exams: Routine checkups help remove plaque and tartar while allowing us to monitor oral development.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities.
Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to molars to shield against decay.

Restorative Pediatric Dentistry

Even with the best preventive care, some children may develop cavities or experience dental injuries. We offer gentle and effective restorative treatments to repair teeth and maintain a healthy smile.
