What age should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends bringing your child for their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth emerges. At ABQ Pediatric Dentistry, we make those first visits fun and stress-free to help your child develop a positive relationship with dental care early on.

Do you offer services for children with special needs?

Absolutely. We specialize in providing gentle, extra-care treatments for children with special health needs. Our team takes the time to ensure a safe, welcoming environment tailored to your child’s unique circumstances.

What is preventive pediatric dentistry, and why is it important?

Preventive pediatric dentistry focuses on measures like regular exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect your child’s teeth from cavities and decay. By focusing on prevention, we help children maintain their natural smiles and catch potential issues early.

What happens if my child is anxious about visiting the dentist?

We understand that some children may feel nervous about dental appointments. Our team specializes in behavior management and offers sedation dentistry options to ensure your child feels calm and at ease. We focus on making every visit enjoyable, helping alleviate any dental anxiety.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We accept most major dental insurance plans. If you have questions about coverage, our friendly staff is happy to assist you in understanding your benefits and options.
