We strive to make dental appointments as painless as possible here at Des Moines River Dental Care. Especially for our younger patients. Pediatric dentistry plays an important role in a child’s development, and we want them to feel comfortable in our care. By building a positive relationship with our office and staff, we help make dentist visits a stress-free experience. Our goal is to encourage children and their caregivers to visit us regularly for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
If you have any questions about our pediatric procedures, we’re here to answer them!
Our Approach
We understand that the first visit to the dentist can be pretty intimidating for a child and their guardian, so we begin with gentleness and patience. To help ease any fears, we take time to introduce the child to our office, explain the tools in a fun and non-threatening way, and answer any questions they might have. We try to stay positive and encouraging throughout the appointment and seek to impart clear and easy care instructions to take home.
We believe that introducing pediatric dentistry early has many benefits for more than just our young patients’ mouths. A confident smile goes a long way in boosting self-esteem, creating positive first impressions, and fostering meaningful connections with others. That’s why we are dedicated to supporting your child’s smile every step of the way.
