Pediatric Dentist Louisville, KY

A healthy, stunning smile can be important to patients of all ages. Our goal at MINT dentistry is to give each child a fun and stress-free experience during every visit to our office in Louisville, KY, so they will have a positive association with dental health that lasts the rest of their life. Children should have regularly scheduled visits to MINT dentistry at least twice a year for professional cleanings and pediatric dental exams. At their visit, a board-certified dentist will assess the development of your child’s teeth, look for problems, and show your child how to care for their mouth. Consumers Choice has named MINT dentistry as "Best Family Dentist" two years in a row. When your child arrives, our front staff will give them an iPad loaded with fun, parent-approved apps and videos to keep them busy. Give your child the gift of a great smile by making an appointment at MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY.

Children as young as two years old can develop tooth decay and cavities. MINT dentistry suggests you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are 18 months old, so a MINT dental professional can make sure there are no overbite problems or structural issues. Your child may have their primary teeth for several years, so it is a good idea to make sure they are healthy while they wait for their adult teeth to grow in. This means visiting our office twice a year for exams and cleanings.

Before your child's exam begins, we will ensure they feel safe and relaxed. Our team will tell your child what is going to happen at every step so they feel more comfortable with the process. They will be given MINT sunglasses as they relax in a comfortable treatment chair. One of our MINT team members will first perform a simple examination of your child’s mouth before performing a cleaning. Proactive treatments like sealants or fluoride might be recommended to protect your child's developing teeth. If we find a problem, we'll develop a personalized plan for treatment based on both what your child needs and what they can easily tolerate. Our Louisville, KY office is committed to using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to make sure your child's routine care and treatments are fast and comfortable while still effective.

A follow-up appointment for treatment may be needed if your dentist diagnoses an issue found during the exam and cleanings. Our MINT team of dentists is skilled at providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. If your child requires braces, fillings, or treatment for an injured tooth, we are here to help. To maintain a healthy mouth, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you schedule dental cleanings in six-month intervals and dental exams once a year for every member of your family. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a dedicated at-home oral health regimen, which our MINT dentistry team will help your child understand with education and demonstrations.

Dental insurance typically covers annual pediatric exams and biannual cleanings. If a treatment or procedure is required, our MINT support staff will contact your insurance provider to determine what is covered and any remaining costs. If you aren't covered by dental insurance, our office accepts several payment options, so your family's dental care is easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY feels that a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile are invaluable assets, and we are committed to helping you.
