Pediatric Dentistry in Boise
Kids aren’t small adults — they need shorter visits, simpler words, and a team that lets them set the pace. Our goal is a generation of kids who genuinely don’t mind the dentist.
What happens at your visit
-
First visits are “show and tell”: your child rides the chair, meets the tools, and counts teeth.
-
Gentle cleanings and fluoride, at whatever speed your child is comfortable with.
-
Sealants protect the grooves of new molars — quick, painless, and cavity-preventing.
-
You get honest guidance on thumbs, pacifiers, bottles, and braces timing.
Does it hurt?
Check-ups and cleanings don’t hurt. If a filling is ever needed, we use flavored numbing gel first, kid-friendly language (“sleepy juice”), and plenty of breaks.
How long does it take?
Kids’ visits run about 30–45 minutes — short enough to stay fun.
What affects the cost
- Most plans cover children’s check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride at 100%.
- Sealants are inexpensive and often covered for kids under 14.
- CHIP and most family plans accepted — ask us and we’ll verify before your visit.
Questions patients ask us
When should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth — earlier than most parents expect. Early visits are quick, cheap, and build comfort before anything ever needs fixing.
