Great oral health is essential for everyone, no matter how old you are. At Elegant Smiles, we encourage parents to make their child's first trip to a dentist before they turn one. From that point, parents should make certain their children go to the dentist at least two times a year for cleanings and exams. Our objective is to give your child a fun and relaxing visit to our Las Vegas, NV office to give them a positive association with going to the dentist that can last the rest of their life. Throughout the dental appointment, our dentists will evaluate the growth of their teeth, look for problems or areas of trouble, and instruct them on how best to keep up a proper dental care regimen at home. To learn more information about pediatric dentistry for your child, contact Elegant Smiles to make an appointment with our team.
How Does Pediatric Dentistry Work?
Babies can experience tooth decay and cavities as soon as two years of age. Elegant Smiles may provide preventive options and procedures to help keep the teeth healthy before decay occurs. Your child might have their primary (baby) teeth for many years so it's important to keep their teeth healthy until your son or daughter gets their permanent teeth. You can help by scheduling visits two times a year for exams and cleanings. After their cleaning, a fluoride treatment may also be suggested to strengthen the teeth while they are developing. Our doctors will demonstrate techniques on the correct method to brush and floss. Additionally, sealants are often suggested to reduce tooth decay and cavities. Our dentists also may address teeth that are already showing decay or are damaged, chipped, or broken by making a successful treatment plan. When your child is a preteen or teenager, we might suggest an orthodontic treatment to straighten their teeth, which may avoid future dental issues.

After searching Facebook groups I’m in for dentist recommendations, I decided to send my husband here after he cracked a tooth and was in the worst pain of his life.I searched “dentist” in the group, read through a ton of recommendations, and chose Elegant Smiles because the dentist’s wife had commented on several posts offering to help. I messaged her directly, and she got my husband in to see her husband that same day!My husband was in so much pain that they had to numb him multiple times before they could extract the tooth. He came home swollen all the way up to his eye because the infection had spread down to the roots. My husband absolutely HATES going to the dentist, but he didn’t have a single negative thing to say about his experience.The front office staff was also incredible. Since we don’t have physical insurance cards, they had to call and get all of our information, and they handled everything without giving us any hassle.I will admit, when you look at their website it can seem a little intimidating and very high-end. Their office is beautiful, and they absolutely offer high-end cosmetic services. But don’t let that scare you away if you’re simply looking for an emergency tooth extraction or general dental care. They offer a wide variety of services for all kinds of dental needs.Dr. Phan was absolutely amazing, and we’re so thankful we found this office. If you’re looking for a dentist, I highly recommend checking out Elegant Smiles!

About UsPediatric Dentistry FAQs
How can I help my child overcome dental anxiety?
Dental visits can be intimidating for children, especially during their first few appointments. To ease their anxiety, start by discussing the visit in a positive and age-appropriate manner, avoiding words that might cause fear. Reading children's books about dental visits or playing pretend dentist at home can familiarize them with the process. Additionally, choosing a pediatric dental office with a child-friendly environment and staff trained in behavior management can make a significant difference in your child's comfort level.
What should I do if my child resists brushing their teeth?
It's common for young children to be uncooperative during toothbrushing. To encourage better habits, try making brushing a fun activity by using toothbrushes with their favorite characters or playing their favorite song during brushing time. Establishing a consistent routine and brushing together as a family can also motivate them. If resistance continues, consult your pediatric dentist for additional strategies tailored to your child's needs.
When should my child start flossing?
Flossing should begin when your child's teeth start to fit closely together, typically between the ages of 2 and 6. At this stage, food particles and plaque can get trapped between teeth, leading to cavities. Initially, you'll need to assist your child with flossing until they develop the dexterity to do it themselves, usually around age 10. Regular flossing, combined with brushing, is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing tooth decay.
