A Gentle Approach to Your Child’s Smile

At Family Smiles Dental Care, we enjoy caring for patients of all ages, including children, and we’re proud to offer pediatric dentistry that keeps your child’s smile healthy from the start. 

We recommend bringing your child in every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. During each visit, our friendly team gently cleans your child’s teeth and checks for early signs of dental problems, such as tooth decay. 

Every member of our team is patient and gentle, and we’re practiced at helping children feel comfortable and at ease in the dental chair. Building a positive, trusting relationship with the dentist at a young age matters, and we’re dedicated to ensuring your child feels safe and cared for at every visit to our Rochester Hills children’s dentist office. If you have questions about your child’s dental health or oral development, we welcome you to ask during your visit or by calling our office.

Building Healthy Habits at Home & in Our Office

Alongside regular checkups, helping your child build good oral hygiene habits at home plays a big role in their long-term dental health. Encourage your child to brush and floss daily and support a balanced diet that’s easy on their teeth. Our Rochester Hills team is here to guide you every step of the way. Call or visit us today to learn more about pediatric dentistry and how we can care for your whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry in Rochester Hills, MI

Do you provide pediatric dentistry to families outside Rochester Hills?

Yes. While our office is located in Rochester Hills, we welcome families from Rochester, Troy, Auburn Hills, Shelby Township, Oakland Township, and other nearby Oakland County communities for pediatric dental care.

Do you see patients through their teenage years, or just young children?

We welcome patients of all ages, from toddlers through teens and into adulthood, so your child can stay with the same trusted dental team as they grow.

Do you accept dental insurance for my child’s care?

We work with many dental insurance providers and will help you understand your child’s coverage for pediatric dentistry. Contact our office for a full look at accepted plans, or ask about our in-house Smile Easy Savings Plan if you’re without insurance.

My child is nervous about the dentist, how do you help?

We understand dental visits can feel intimidating for kids, which is why our team focuses on a gentle, patient approach with every young patient. We take time to explain what we’re doing in kid-friendly terms and go at a pace that helps your child feel comfortable and in control.

Is it necessary to treat cavities in baby teeth?

Yes. Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth, support chewing and speech development, and help guide adult teeth into their correct position. Leaving a cavity untreated in a baby tooth can lead to pain, infection, or problems with the permanent tooth developing underneath, so we recommend addressing decay as soon as it’s found.

What happens during a pediatric dental visit at Family Smiles?

A typical pediatric visit includes a gentle cleaning, a check for cavities or other developing issues, and time to answer any questions about your child’s oral development. Our Rochester Hills team also uses each visit to teach kids the brushing and flossing habits they’ll carry with them.

At what age should my child first see a dentist?

The ADA recommends that your child’s first dental visit occur within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. Early visits help establish a dental home and allow the dentist to monitor your child’s oral development from the start.
