Reviews
Who Is a Candidate for Pediatric Dentistry?
Tooth decay and other dental conditions can develop early in life, even in patients as young as two years old. Our MINT dentistry team suggests you bring your child in for their first visit by the time they turn a year and a half, so a MINT dental professional can begin monitoring their development for bite concerns or other structural issues. Your child may have their primary teeth for many years, so it's important that they remain in good health until it's time for their adult teeth to emerge. You can help your child maintain good oral health by scheduling routine pediatric exams and biannual cleanings.
What Are Pediatric Dental Visits Like?
When you and your child arrive for their dental exam, we'll take time to greet them and help them feel safe and at ease. Our caring team will tell your child what is going to happen at every step so they feel more comfortable with the process. We will have them put on a pair of MINT sunglasses as they settle into one of our super comfy treatment chairs. One of our MINT team members will first conduct a simple exam of your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw before performing a cleaning. Preventive treatments, like sealants or fluoride, may be recommended to help protect the teeth as your child grows older. If our MINT dental team discovers a dental concern, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on your child's needs and comfort level. MINT dentistry in Brentwood, MD is dedicated to using the most advanced dental technology available in the industry to help ensure your child's routine care and treatments are fast, effective, and comfortable.
Following Your Child's Dental Treatment
If a dental concern is identified during your child's exam, a member of our MINT dentistry team can help you schedule a follow-up appointment to have the issue treated. Our MINT team of dentists offers comprehensive dental care to help address all of your family's dental needs. If your child requires emergency care after an injury, an orthodontic treatment (like Invisalign® teeth straightening), or a simple tooth-colored filling, we're here to help. To maintain a healthy mouth, MINT dentistry recommends you schedule biannual dental cleanings and exams for every member of your family. During these visits, we can also recommend a personalized at-home oral health regimen, which we'll demonstrate to your child.
The MINT Commitment
Routine pediatric dental exams and biannual cleanings are often covered under dental insurance plans. If your child needs any other procedures or treatments, we will contact your insurance provider to review their benefits and estimate any out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have dental insurance, we accept several payment methods to help make your child's dental care easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Brentwood, MD feels that a beautiful smile and a healthy mouth are invaluable assets, and we're dedicated to helping your family enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile.
