Pediatric Dental Care Services and Clinic in Lakeville MN

Your child’s dental health today dictates their overall oral health as they grow up. This is because premature tooth loss can cause uneven alignment for its surrounding teeth. The effects of tooth decay and gum disease may also cause your child to miss more classes and eat less food.

Don’t let your child’s nutrition and learning get compromised by dental problems. Bring them to Miller Comfort Dental, a certified provider of children’s dental care in Lakeville, to get regular check-ups and treatments. The professionals at our pediatric dental care clinic in Lakeville, MN evaluate your kid’s dental health and create a treatment plan according to possible problems in their teeth and gums. Our dentists also provide dental hygiene tips to maintain or improve your child’s oral health.

When should you bring your child to the dentist for the first time? Good question. The members of the American Pediatric Dental Association recommend that you begin taking your child to a dentist as soon as your child has teeth, which is at around 6 months of age.

It can be difficult to perform dental procedures on very young children. At that age, it can be difficult for someone so small and hesitant of their surroundings to trust their dental health care providers. What we tell people is that unless you see something that concerns you in your child’s mouth, plan on bringing them in around 33-36 months of age. At that age, they are able to realize that we are trying to help them. Your child can be more involved and cooperative in their care. If you see something that concerns you, by all means, bring them in! If they need care, we will make sure to provide it. If your child’s situation needs care that is best provided by a Pediatric Specialist, we will refer you to a professional office to get your child the care they need.

We at Miller Comfort Dental are happy to take care of the general dental needs of your children. While Dr. Miller is not a Pediatric Specialist, he has a lot of hands-on experience with the little ones.

Dr. Miller was the dental director of the Des Moines Health Center for over five years. The Des Moines Health Center provides primary dental and medical care to the children of low-income families in the central Iowa area. The patient load in that clinic comprised over 68% children. And he has children of his own, so you know that your child will get the same quality care that his own children would receive.

And if and when it’s time for that consultation with the Orthodontist—the Braces!—we will provide you with a referral to one of our area’s excellent state-of-the-art Orthodontic Specialists for the first step in that phase of your child’s dental care.
