About Pediatric Dentistry in College Park, GA
Wearing a bright, healthy smile can provide a boost of confidence at every stage in life. At MINT dentistry, our goal is to provide kids a fun and stress-free experience so they form a positive association with the dentist they carry throughout their lives. Children should visit the dentist at least twice a year for professional cleanings and pediatric dental exams. During pediatric visits at MINT dentistry, a board-certified dentist will assess how your child's teeth are developing, check for concerns, and show your child how to take care of their teeth. When you arrive with your child, we will hand them a tablet already loaded with fun, parent-approved apps and videos to keep them busy. MINT dentistry has been named “Best Family Dentist” by Consumers Choice two years in a row. Give your child the gift of a healthy, beautiful smile by scheduling an appointment at our office in College Park, GA.

Who Is a Candidate for Pediatric Dentistry?
Tooth decay (cavities) can develop early in life, even in patients as young as two years old. We suggest you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are one and a half years old so a MINT dental professional can make sure there are no developmental or oral health concerns. Children usually have their baby teeth for a while so it is a good idea to make sure they stay healthy until the permanent teeth emerge. Scheduling appointments twice a year for exams and cleanings can start your child on the path to good oral health.
What Are Pediatric Dental Visits Like?
Prior to our team starting your child’s dental exam, we will take steps to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Our team will tell your child what is going to happen at every step so they understand the process. They will be asked to relax in one of our super comfy treatment chairs and given a pair of cool MINT sunglasses to wear. A MINT dentistry team member will gently clean your child's teeth and perform a basic exam of their mouth. Preventive treatments, like fluoride rinses or sealants, may be recommended to help protect the teeth as your child grows older. If our team discovers a dental concern, we will develop a personalized plan for treatment that focuses on your child's needs and comfort level. MINT dentistry in College Park, GA is dedicated to using the most advanced dental technology available in the industry to make sure your child's routine care and treatments are fast and effective but also comfortable.
Following Your Child's Dental Treatment
Should we find any dental concerns during your child’s cleaning or exam, we may ask you to schedule an appointment for a follow-up procedure. Our dentists and team members at MINT dentistry are experienced at providing comprehensive and personalized dental care for patients of all ages. If your child needs braces, fillings, or treatment for an injured tooth, we are here to help. To maintain a healthy mouth, 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. Aftercare following routine dental exams and cleanings includes a daily regimen of brushing and flossing, which our MINT dentistry team will help your child understand with education and demonstrations.
