When visiting Desert Kids Dental, you can always expect a seamless and enjoyable experience for the entire family. As a local Las Vegas dentist, we love getting to meet new families and introducing little ones to a life of fun, informative dental care.
During your child’s first appointment, our dental assistant will perform a gentle, yet thorough preventive cleaning to promote a sparkling, healthy grin. Next, Dr. Sandra Thompson will carefully take a look at your child’s teeth and gums to ensure their oral health is on the right track and free of any dental issues.
After their preventive treatments, Dr. Sandra Thompson will discuss your little one’s oral health and recommend a tailored treatment plan made just for their smile success. From our front desk friends and hygienists, to our experienced pediatric dentist and family dentist, Desert Kids Dental is honored to serve Providence families with warm, high quality care.
Our team is dedicated to helping parents and their kids walk into appointments feeling relaxed and worry-free. Here are a few appointment essentials to bring with you for a streamlined visit from start to finish:
We believe one of the best ways to support your little one’s smile is by making dental care fun, together! If your child’s appointment is coming up, here are some meaningful, day-to-day routines you can incorporate to prepare them for a delightful dental visit:
Come alongside your kiddo, play their favorite tunes, and sing a song together while you brush and floss their smile! This will encourage positive associations with their oral health and preventive care, which will prepare them for thorough, professional cleanings at the dentist.
Cheer on your child’s efforts towards a healthier smile by using positive language about the dentist. Empower them to be active participants in their oral care by allowing them to choose a toothbrush. By letting them know how proud you are of them for taking care of their teeth, your little one will feel more confident when it comes to visiting their dental friends.
Introduce your child to a fun world of dental care by playing pretend together or enjoying a variety of kid-friendly picture books and educational videos about dentistry. This whimsical, educational approach can help your little one understand what to expect at their appointment, making them less likely be anxious or afraid when it’s time for their check up.
