St Louis Park and Bloomington, MN
Pediatric Dentist

Every parent feels dedicated to their child’s well-being and happiness. According to the CDC, practices vital to the healthy development of a child include meeting their healthcare, emotional, social, and educational needs. And a pediatric dentist provides an important aspect of healthcare during the early years.

You should take your child to see a pediatric dentist as soon as their first tooth appears. It not only helps individuals develop healthy dental routines from a young age but also prevents tooth decay, as children are especially vulnerable to cavities.

At Krengel Dental, we care about your child’s dental care as much as you do. That’s why our dentists provide high-quality care to all our patients, no matter how small.

Why Are Dental Visits for Kids Important?

High-quality healthcare from a young age makes such a difference to overall well-being. Pediatric dentistry prevents potential problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. It also reduces the risk of dental anxiety so common to adults.

Starting dentist visits for kids at an early age acclimatizes children to seeing a dentist and having a dental professional place strange tools in their mouths. These dental experiences can be scary at first. But with our doctors, you can rest assured that your child will adapt to our gentle dental practices in no time. 

Types of Pediatric Dentistry for Kids

What procedures do our experienced pediatric dentists perform? We make sure your child always has a healthy smile in the following ways:

Routine

Our routine services include teeth cleanings every six months, as well as the following:

  • Root canal therapy
  • Advice on healthy diets or establishing healthy dental routines
  • Oral exams
  • Management of gum diseases and more

Preventive

Children are prone to cavities and oral conditions if they have diseases such as diabetes or congenital heart defects. We provide screening for oral diseases and conditions to catch things early. We also apply fluoride treatments to prevent cavities and provide fillings or sealants as preventative treatment. 

Cosmetic

Diagnostic testing reveals your child’s bite pattern. Correctly-aligned teeth can prevent dental pain and teeth grinding, so this testing could catch a problem early. We may suggest braces, Invisalign, implants, and other options to correct any issues.
