Gentle, Caring Dental Visits for Kids of All Ages

At Acadiana Smiles, we’re proud to care for smiles of all ages—including children. While we’re not pediatric specialists, our experienced team provides kind, age-appropriate care for children in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. From first visits to cavity prevention and minor restorative needs, our focus is on helping children build positive dental habits that last a lifetime.

We offer children’s dental care at both our Crowley and Eunice, LA locations.

Creating Positive Dental Experiences for Kids

We understand that for many children, the dentist's office can feel unfamiliar. Our team uses kid-friendly language, a calming tone, and gentle techniques to help make dental visits comfortable and even enjoyable. We are experienced in working with young patients and tailor each visit to their needs and comfort level.

What Happens at a Child’s Dental Visit?

The American Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. These early appointments help us monitor development and give parents helpful guidance on home care.

At your child’s visit, we may:

  • Gently examine their teeth and gums
  • Discuss nutrition and brushing habits
  • Answer questions about thumb-sucking, teething, and more

We strive to make every visit a learning experience in a warm and non-intimidating setting. Learn more about first dental visits.
