- Margot AlbertHands down, best pediatric dentist I have ever brought my kids to. They are so kind, patient, and professional. My kids who normally have anxiety regarding dental visits left saying “I’m not scared of the dentist anymore!! Can we go back”. To hear my 4 and 6 year old say this warms my heart. I wish they were my dentist lol

If you suspect your child is experiencing a dental emergency, then you’ll want to call our pediatric dental office right away for help. Someone on our team will be able to pencil them in for an emergency visit. Remember, though, that if their situation is life-threatening, such as difficulty breathing/swallowing or uncontrollable bleeding, then you should call 911 and/or take your little one to the nearest ER. While there might not be a dentist on staff, the hospital can at least provide antibiotics and maintain their health until they can see their dentist. Our office provides same-day and after-hours emergency dentistry, that way your child can get the care they need when they need it most. Don’t forget that dental emergencies can often indicate underlying oral health issues, so it’s best to keep their smile safe by practicing good oral hygiene as well as visiting their dentist for checkups and cleanings every six months.
This will involve a combination of several factors. Firstly, you’ll want to consider what’s important to you, such as credentials, location, hours, cleanliness, insurance/payment and fees, and safety. You should also know what kind of treatment your child needs, such as if they need fillings, emergency care, special needs dentistry, or simply require their next checkup and cleaning. You will also want to get familiar with their dental team to see how they interact with their patients. At Trinity Pediatric Dentistry, we prioritize making children feel safe and comfortable while providing completely personalized care for every patient. You can also read our team bios so that you can learn about our backgrounds and education before coming into the office.
While the cost for these visits can vary based on factors like geography and a child’s dental health, the average price of these appointments in the United States is typically between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance for your little one, then the fees for their checkup and cleanings might be pre-negotiated between their dentist and your insurer. During these appointments, you can expect a review of your child’s oral health, a discussion about concerns, a professional oral examination and cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.
Remember that the best way to save on dentistry is to take your child in for their dental checkups and cleanings, as prevention is key to maintaining their oral health while also saving you money. If you have dental insurance, you can expect some of the cost of certain treatments to be covered by your provider, especially preventive care. If you aren’t currently insured or don’t have your child in your policy, then you might consider signing up for Care Credit—a third-party financier that can break up the price of services into monthly, low-to-no-interest installments.
