Pediatric Dentist in Indianapolis, IN

A healthy, stunning smile may boost the confidence of patients of all ages. MINT dentistry's professional team is dedicated to giving your child a fun and stress-free dental experience during every visit to our office in Indianapolis, IN, so they will form a positive association with the dentist that reinforces good, lifelong habits. You should schedule your child's visits to our office two times every year for professional cleanings and exams. At their appointment, a board-certified dentist will assess how your child's teeth are developing, look for problems, and teach your child the best way to take care of their teeth. Consumers Choice has named MINT dentistry "Best Family Dentist" two years in a row. As soon as you arrive with your child, our staff will hand them an iPad loaded with fun, age-appropriate games and videos to keep them busy during their visit. Start your child off with a great smile by scheduling an appointment for them at our office in Indianapolis, IN.

Cavities and tooth decay may develop as early as two years of age. Our team recommends you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are one and a half years old so that a board-certified MINT dentist can check for any issues like misalignment. Children usually have their baby teeth for a while, so it is a good idea to make sure they stay healthy so their permanent teeth can grow in properly. This starts with scheduling appointments twice a year for exams and cleanings.

Ensuring your child is safe and comfortable is our goal during their exam and cleaning. Our team will explain what happens during each step so they stay informed during each part of the process. We'll give your child a pair of MINT sunglasses while they sit back in a special treatment chair. A team member will begin a basic exam of your child's mouth and then perform a quick cleaning. Our dental team might recommend preventive treatments like fluoride rinses or sealants to help protect and strengthen their enamel as their permanent teeth come in. Should our team identify a problem, we'll develop a personalized plan for treatment with your child's utmost care and comfort in mind. Our dedicated dental team uses advanced technology and modern techniques to ensure our pediatric procedures are fast, effective, and comfortable.

If our team detects a dental problem, we'll request you schedule a follow-up appointment for your little one so we can provide treatment. Our MINT team of dentists is experienced in providing comprehensive dental care for your family that fits everyone's needs. If your child needs care after an injury, an orthodontic treatment like Invisalign® teeth straightening, or a simple tooth-colored filling, we are happy to help. For optimal oral health, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you make appointments at least bi-annually for your child. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a daily home care routine, which we will help demonstrate to your child during their appointment.

When you have dental insurance, annual pediatric exams and cleanings are usually covered. We will contact your insurance company for any procedures or recommended treatments to calculate your benefits and out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have dental insurance, our office accepts many payment methods so you can easily fit your child's dental care into your budget. MINT dentistry believes that good oral health and a great smile are priceless, and we're committed to helping you afford both. Talk to our team for more information on getting your family on the MINT Discount Plan.

Introducing good dental habits, including pediatric oral health exams and professional cleanings at MINT dentistry, will benefit them throughout their life. Our team believes it's important to start receiving dental care as early as 18 months old to avoid future conditions so every family member has a bright and healthy smile.
