Children’s Dental

Your Child’s Dental Home

At Newstead Smiles, we believe that every child deserves a dental experience filled with comfort, care, and plenty of smiles! From the moment you step into our child-friendly clinic, our team goes above and beyond to ensure that both you and your child feel at ease. With state-of-the-art technology, a welcoming environment, and expert dentists, we turn dental visits into joyful, stress-free experiences.

When Should Your Child Visit the Dentist for the First Time?

We recommend that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early visits allow us to monitor your child’s oral development, educate parents, and set the foundation for a lifetime of good dental habits. Did you know? Healthy baby teeth are crucial as they hold space for permanent teeth and aid in chewing, speech, and overall development.

Making Kids Feel Comfortable at Every Visit

We understand that visiting the dentist can be scary for some children. That’s why we take extra steps to create a calming and fun experience:
Pre-Visit Prep

We guide parents on how to prepare their children for their appointment.

Distraction Techniques

Interactive toys, friendly staff, and the chance to watch your favorite show while getting your teeth cleaned and cared for make every visit enjoyable.

Gentle Sedation with Laughing Gas

For children with high anxiety, we offer laughing gas to keep them calm and relaxed.

What We Offer:

Routine Dental Check-ups and Cleanings

Preventative care is key! Our regular exams and cleanings ensure that your child’s teeth stay healthy and strong.

Preventive Care and Education

We teach kids how to brush and floss properly, give dietary advice, and provide tips for breaking habits like thumb-sucking or nail-biting.

Fluoride Treatments and Dental Sealants

Protect your child’s teeth from cavities with fluoride treatments and sealants, which act as a barrier against decay.

Cavity Treatments and Fillings

Got a cavity? No worries! Our gentle approach makes fillings a breeze for your child.

Orthodontic Assessments

We assess bite and alignment issues early on and provide referrals if braces or aligners are needed.

Emergency Dental Care for Kids
