Pediatric Dentist Newport, KY

Regardless of age, a dazzling, healthy smile is essential. At MINT dentistry, we aim to provide your child with a fun and stress-free experience when they visit our practice in Newport, KY so they will develop a good impression of dental health that reinforces good, lifelong habits. You should schedule your child’s visits to our office at least twice a year for professional cleanings and exams. During their appointment, a board-certified dentist will assess how your child's teeth are developing, check for concerns, and show your child the best way to care for their mouth. When your child arrives, we will give them an iPad loaded with fun, parent-approved games to keep them busy during their visit. Give your child the gift of a great smile by making an appointment at our office in Newport, KY.

Tooth decay and cavities can develop in your child as early as two years old. MINT dentistry recommends you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are 18 months old so that a board-certified MINT dentist can check for any development problems. Your child may keep their baby teeth for several years, so they must remain in good health so their permanent teeth can grow properly. This starts with visiting our office twice a year for exams and cleanings.

Your child's comfort and safety are our primary concerns during their exam and cleaning. We will talk to your child and explain what is happening so they feel more comfortable with the process. Your child will wear MINT sunglasses while relaxing in a comfortable treatment chair. One of our MINT team members will begin a basic examination of your child’s mouth and then a quick cleaning. Dental sealants or fluoride treatments may be recommended to help protect the teeth as your child grows older. If we find a concern, we'll talk to you to create a treatment plan that focuses on your child's needs and comfort level. Our Newport, KY dentists are committed to using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to ensure your child's routine care and treatments are fast and comfortable while still effective.

A follow-up appointment for further treatment may be necessary if a problem is detected during your child's dental appointment. Our MINT dentistry professionals are skilled at providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. If your child needs orthodontics, a tooth-colored filling, or treatment for a cracked tooth, our office is here to help. MINT dentistry recommends your child visit our office every six months for healthy teeth and gums. Following a dental exam, cleaning, treatment, or procedure, we suggest maintaining a daily home care routine which our MINT dentistry team can help demonstrate to your child.

Dental insurance will generally cover, at least partially, the cost of bi-annual cleanings and an annual dental exam. We will contact your insurance company to determine additional costs if a treatment or procedure is required. If you don't have dental insurance, our office accepts several payment options, so your family's dental care is easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Newport, KY believes that a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile are invaluable assets, so we're dedicated to helping you.
