Healthy Smiles, Healthy Life.

Building Great Habits From the Very First Tooth.
Every child deserves a healthy smile from the start. At Arvada Dental Center, we create a safe, welcoming environment for patients of all ages and make sure your child's teeth are growing and developing properly. We are also here to answer every question you have about your child's oral health.

 WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR CHILD'S APPOINTMENT

1

 Examination

Our dentist performs a thorough exam of your child's mouth. We check for signs of decay, assess bone health, and monitor jaw and tooth development. If we notice concerns like tongue-tie or alignment issues, we will refer your child to the right specialist.
2

Discussion

We talk with you and your child about their dental history and oral health habits. We cover what routines to establish, how to handle habits like thumb-sucking, and age-appropriate guidance for older children and teens.
3

Cleaning

We gently remove plaque buildup and polish your child's teeth. For children three and older, we apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and protect against cavities. A healthy diet low in sugar is also part of what we discuss at this stage.
4

Sealants

For children with fully erupted back molars, we may recommend dental sealants. These thin coatings fill the natural grooves in the teeth where bacteria tend to collect. The process is fast, painless, and highly effective at preventing decay.

Affordable Care for Your Family

We accept most major dental insurance plans and verify your child's benefits before their appointment so you know exactly what to expect. For families without insurance, our child membership plan at $34/month for ages 12 and younger covers preventive care at a simple flat monthly rate with no waiting periods and no annual maximums.

FAQs

Have questions about pediatric dentistry in Arvada, Colorado? Here are answers to our most common questions from parents.
contact us
When should my child have their first dental visit in Arvada, Colorado?

  • By age one or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help us monitor development and get your child comfortable with the dental environment before any real treatment is needed.

How often should my child see the dentist?

  • Every six months for routine exams and cleanings. Children who are more cavity-prone may benefit from more frequent visits, which we will recommend if appropriate.

What if my child is scared of the dentist?

  • Completely normal. Our team is experienced working with anxious children and goes at their pace. We explain everything before we do it and make sure the experience is positive. Most nervous kids leave comfortable and willing to come back.

Do you offer fluoride treatments for children in Arvada, Colorado?

  • Yes. We apply a professional fluoride treatment after cleanings for children three and older. It strengthens enamel and is one of the most effective tools we have for preventing cavities.

What are dental sealants and does my child need them?

  • Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back molars where decay most commonly starts. We recommend them for most children once their permanent molars have erupted. The process is quick and painless.

Does my child need X-rays at every visit?

  • Not necessarily. We take X-rays based on your child's individual risk for cavities and development needs. Most children have bitewing X-rays once a year to check for decay between teeth.

Do you accept dental insurance for children in Arvada, Colorado?

  • Yes. We accept most major dental insurance plans and verify benefits before the appointment. For families without insurance, our child membership plan covers preventive care for $34/month with no waiting periods.

What is included in your child membership plan?

  • The child membership at $34/month for ages 12 and younger includes two professional cleanings, two exams, necessary X-rays, one emergency exam per year, and fluoride treatment. A one-time $99 activation fee includes the first month.
