Cavities can develop in children as young as 24 months old. MINT dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first visit when they are around a year and a half, so a MINT dental professional can start monitoring for issues like misalignment. Children usually keep their primary teeth for many years, so it's important that they are healthy while they wait for their adult teeth to grow in. This means scheduling appointments twice a year for exams and cleanings.

The MINT dentistry team strives to ensure your child feels safe and relaxed during their dental exam and cleaning. Our team will tell your child what is going to happen at every step so they understand the process. They will put on MINT sunglasses while they relax in one of our super comfy treatment chairs. One of our MINT team members will perform a simple exam of your child’s mouth before beginning their cleaning. Preventive treatments like fluoride rinses or sealants may be recommended to protect your child's developing teeth. If we find a problem, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan based on both what your child needs and what they can easily tolerate. Our Louisville, KY office is dedicated to using advanced dental technology and modern techniques to make sure our pediatric procedures are effective but also fast and comfortable.

A follow-up appointment may need to be scheduled for dental treatment if our team finds an issue during the exam and cleaning. Our MINT team of dentists is skilled at comprehensive dental care for your family that fits your needs. If your child needs orthodontics, a tooth-colored filling, or treatment for a cracked tooth, we are here to help. To maintain a healthy mouth, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you visit our office every six months for every member of your family. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a daily home care routine, which we will help demonstrate to your child.

Biannual cleanings and annual exams are considered to be preventive treatments and are typically covered by dental insurance. If a treatment or procedure is required, we will speak to your provider to calculate what is covered and any remaining costs. If you do not have dental insurance, our office accepts several payment options to help make your child's dental care easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Louisville, KY believes that a beautiful smile and a healthy mouth are priceless, so we're committed to helping you.
