We have gone to Dentistry for Kids since my son was a baby, and our experience has always been positive. Today was his first day going back all by himself, and every single person was so warm and made him feel so safe so he didn’t even hesitate! He had so much fun at the dentist (definitely goes against the usual stigma haha) and loved feeling like a champ for having no cavities. The dental assistant and dentist were both so nice and helpful, like not just saying that – actually above and beyond! They even took a picture! Love that my son loves going to the dentist! I wish I could go here as an adult 😂
Give Your Child a Strong Start With Early Dental Care
Baby teeth play an important role in your child’s development. They hold space for adult teeth, help with chewing and speech, and keep your child smiling. That’s why it’s essential to care for them right from the beginning. At Dentistry for Kids, our pediatric dentist in Des Plaines, IL recommends bringing your child in by their first birthday—or when the first tooth appears.
Here’s what to expect during your child’s early visits:
- A gentle exam to count teeth and check development
- A soft cleaning if your child is comfortable
- Parent-friendly tips for daily brushing, nutrition, and habits
- Guidance on pacifiers, thumb-sucking, and what to watch as your child grows
Our goal is to create a positive experience so your child builds lifelong trust in dental care. We focus on prevention, early education, and habits that lead to long-term health.
As your child grows, we offer a wide range of services to meet their evolving needs:
- Preventive Care – Regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to stop cavities before they start.
- Restorative Care – Gentle fillings and custom crowns made just for kids, along with treatments for toothaches and minor dental issues.
- Emergency Care – Same-day visits for dental injuries or sudden pain—so you never have to wait or worry.
We also welcome children with special needs and work closely with families to ensure every child receives personalized, compassionate care. Plus, our affordable membership plans make it easier to prioritize your child’s health.
