Children may experience cavities and tooth decay as young as two years old. MINT dentistry recommends you bring your child in for their first visit by the time they are a year and a half so a board-certified MINT dentist can ensure there are no issues like misalignment. Children usually have baby teeth for many years, so it is important they're healthy until their permanent teeth grow in. Part of doing so includes visiting our office for an annual pediatric exam and biannual cleanings.

We'll ensure your child feels safe and relaxed before starting the exam and cleaning. Our team will talk to your child and explain what is happening so they are part of the process. They'll also be offered MINT sunglasses and asked to relax in one of our comfy treatment chairs. A MINT dentistry team member will begin a basic exam of your child's teeth, gums, and jaw before the cleaning. Our dentist may recommend proactive treatments like sealants or fluoride to help protect the teeth as your child grows older. If your MINT dental team discovers a concern, we'll create a treatment plan with your child's utmost care and comfort in mind. Our Indianapolis, IN dental team is committed to using advanced dental technology and modern techniques to ensure our pediatric procedures are as quick, comfortable, and effective as possible.

If we determine a problem during your child's routine examination, we may need to schedule a follow-up appointment. Every dentist and team member at MINT dentistry is skilled at meeting your family's dental care needs. If your child requires braces, fillings, or treatment for an injured tooth, we are happy to help. For optimal oral health, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you schedule dental cleanings in six-month intervals and dental exams once a year for your child. To maintain the results of a teeth cleaning or another procedure, we suggest following a dedicated at-home oral health regimen, as instructed by the MINT dentistry team.

If you have insurance, annual pediatric exams and biannual cleanings are usually covered. We will speak to your insurance provider about any procedures or recommended treatments to determine your benefits and out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have dental insurance, we accept several payment methods to help make your child's dental care easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN believes that good oral health and a great smile are priceless, and we're committed to helping you afford both.
