Children’s Dentist Richardson

Giving Your Child’s Smile a Strong Start

The structure and health of your child’s mouth constantly change as they grow, which means they need more focused care. Our team works together to create an atmosphere where your child can feel safe and comfortable. We approach treatments at your child’s pace and try to make every dental experience a positive one. By engaging with your child, we aim to build a trusting relationship as we help encourage good dental habits and guide their oral development as they grow.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings for Kids

Our gentle and caring methods allow us to provide your child with regular dental exams and cleanings, which help us monitor their oral health for any issues, such as decay. These visits also allow us to spot developing orthodontic concerns as your child grows. Depending on their needs, we may suggest fluoride treatments to help keep their teeth strong or dental sealants as added protection against cavities. Whatever the need, our dentists and team are happy to help your child build good habits throughout their life.

Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards

If your child plays on a local sports league or their school’s athletic teams, consider investing in a customized protective mouthguard for them. Unlike one-size-fits-all boil and bite mouthguards you can buy from a store, the one you get from Richland Dental will allow your child to breathe easily while running and jumping as well as offer reliable protection.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are clear protective coverings that we brush atop your child’s molars. After hardening the sealants, they’ll act as a barrier to keep food debris, bacteria, and plaque from building up in the pits and grooves, keeping cavities from forming.

Frenectomies/Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment

Lip and tongue-ties can lead to sleep-breathing disorders, speech impediments, and a number of other consequences when left untreated. Our team is able to conduct laser frenectomies to improve the range of movement of your child’s lip and tongue by effortlessly removing overgrown soft tissue in their mouth.

Non-Nutritive Habits

If your child is struggling weening off of sucking their thumb or using a pacifier, our dentists in Richardson can help counsel you! Dr. T and Dr. Mansi can provide tips and tricks to keep orthodontic problems from arising down the road due to these habits.

Pulp Therapy

Is your child complaining of a persistent toothache that won’t seem to go away? They may require pulp therapy due to an infection in the inner chamber of their tooth. This procedure can help erase their pain by removing the infected portion of their tooth’s pulp and restoring its structure. In addition to making them feel more comfortable, pulp therapy allows our team to preserve your child’s natural tooth until it falls out on its own!
