Contact UsWhat Is Pediatric Dentistry?
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.

Dr. Phan is a good dentist, made my tooth filling procedure an easy process. Felt comfortable throughout the entire thing :)
i got a filling from ricky and dr phan and they were both very nice and gentle! I recommend going here because everyone here is very friendly and i was just comfortable the entire time
This is the best dentist money can buy hands down. I can tell you the team work is dynamic and the energy is so dope. I can also say this is a very honest dentist. Before I was introduced to this office I had a cavity and a few different dentist searching for the right one, most said I needed a root canal, and I found Elegant smiles, the Doc said you don't need a root canal this tooth can be fixed simple I got you. I was shocked, and sold on the honesty. My tooth is still in great condition thanks to Doc. They're perfectionist taking quality time for each patient. There is no wait time, your seen immediately upon arrival. I been sold for 3 years now and I have not looked back. I recommend 100%
Finding Elegant Smile has been such a gift as I have always feared dental offices… The beautiful, clean atmosphere , bright and pleasant… To the sweet staff, every single one of them… Shantae at the front desk going above and beyond to assist me with insurance issues to Dr. Huynh who is such a sweet , patient artist at what she does… ! Determined to perfect to your satisfaction ! then onto Dr. Finn, who was so gentle with a dreaded procedure that turned out to be Pain-free and not scary as he explained everything along the way, and it truly took the fear out of the process, I am so grateful to have found Elegant Smile and must say it's my first experience not dreading an upcoming dental appointment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had the privilege of visiting Elegant Smiles yesterday as a first time patient and I could not have been more impressed! The welcoming, clean atmosphere and the friendly front desk staff gave me a sense of confidence as soon as I walked in the door. Elegant Smiles was a professional and pleasant environment, and the dental staff gave my teeth an amazing clean! I’m glad to now call this place home!

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.
