Children's Dentistry in Dallas, TX

The general recommendation is by their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help your child get comfortable and let us catch anything small before it grows. The CDC's oral health tips for children are a helpful starting point for parents on building good habits early.

We are family dentists who are experienced and wonderful with children, not board-certified pediatric specialists. For most kids, that is exactly what they need, and it means the same office can also care for the rest of your family, from teenagers to grandparents.

We go slow, explain everything in words kids understand, and never rush. Dr. Woldu is trained in sensory-friendly and behavioral guidance techniques for children with autism and sensory sensitivities, adapting lighting, sound, and communication to each child. Between that gentle approach and the Play Gym, Arcade, and Video Games, most kids relax faster than their parents expect. For children who need extra help, we also offer multiple sedation options.

For most children, every six months, just like adults. Regular visits keep cavities in check, track how their smile is developing, and keep your child comfortable with the routine. We will let you know if your child needs a different schedule.

Yes. We use digital X-rays, which use very low levels of radiation, and we only take them when needed. They help us catch problems early in growing smiles, often before they cause any pain.

Absolutely. We are a family practice for every age. Your child, your teen, you, and your parents can all be patients at the same Pleasant Grove office.
