Your child could potentially develop cavities and tooth decay as young as two years old. MINT dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first visit when they are around a year and a half so a board-certified MINT dentist can make sure there are no overbite problems or structural issues. Your child may have their baby teeth for a while so it's a good idea to make sure they remain in good health so their permanent teeth can grow in properly. This means visiting our office every six months for a professional cleaning.

We start all of your child's appointments by helping them feel safe and comfortable. Our team will explain everything that is being done and why so they understand the process. Your child will be given MINT sunglasses as they relax in a comfortable treatment chair. A MINT dentistry team member will first perform a basic exam of your child’s mouth, followed by a professional cleaning. Preventive treatments, like fluoride rinses or sealants, may be recommended to protect your child's developing teeth. If we find a concern, we'll talk to you to create a treatment plan with your child’s utmost care and comfort in mind. Our Hammond, LA dentists are dedicated to using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to ensure your child's routine care and treatments are fast, effective, and comfortable.

Should one of our dental professionals detect a concern during your child's dental exam, we will ask to schedule a follow-up appointment for treatment. Every dentist and team member at MINT dentistry is skilled at providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. If your child requires orthodontics, a tooth-colored filling, or treatment for a cracked tooth, our office is happy to help. For optimal oral health, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you visit our office every six months for every member of your family. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a daily routine of brushing and flossing, which our MINT dentistry team will help your child understand with education and demonstrations.

Your dental insurance provider will typically cover the cost of preventive treatments, like annual exams and twice-yearly cleanings, for children. For any procedures or recommended treatments, our MINT support staff will speak to your provider to calculate what is covered and any remaining costs. If you aren't covered by dental insurance, MINT dentistry takes several payment methods so you can easily fit your child's dental care into your budget.
