Children should be scheduled visits to our office two times every year for professional cleanings and exams. During their visit, our team of board-certified dentists will assess the development of your child’s teeth, look for problems, and show your child the best way to take care of their teeth. MINT dentistry has been named “Best Family Dentist” by Consumers Choice two years in a row. When you arrive with your child, a team member will give them a tablet loaded with fun, parent-approved apps and videos to keep them busy. Help your child get a great smile by scheduling an appointment at our office in Indianapolis, IN.

Children as young as two years old can develop tooth decay and cavities. MINT dentistry suggests scheduling your child's first visit when they are around a year and a half so that a MINT dental professional can check for any overbite problems or structural issues. Your child may have their baby teeth for many years, so it's a good idea to ensure they stay healthy while they wait for their adult teeth to grow in. This includes visiting our office every six months for a professional cleaning.

The MINT dentistry team will work to ensure that your child is safe and comfortable before their appointment begins. We will talk to your child and explain what is happening so they feel more comfortable with the process. They will put on MINT sunglasses while they sit back in a special treatment chair. A MINT dentistry team member will begin a basic exam of your child’s mouth, followed by a professional cleaning. Proactive treatments like sealants or fluoride might be recommended to strengthen and protect your child's teeth as they develop. If your MINT dental team discovers a concern, we'll talk to you to create a treatment plan based on both what your child needs and what they can easily tolerate. Our Indianapolis, IN dentists are dedicated to using cutting-edge dental technology and advanced techniques to make sure your child's routine care and treatments are as quick, comfortable, and effective as possible.

A follow-up appointment for treatment may need to be scheduled if our team finds a dental issue during your child's cleaning and exam. Our MINT team of dentists is skilled at providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. If your child requires a filling for a cavity, urgent care for an injured tooth, or orthodontic care, such as Invisalign^® teeth straightening, our office is happy to help. For healthy teeth and gums, our team of board-certified MINT dentists recommends you make appointments at least twice a year for your child. Following a dental exam, cleaning, treatment, or procedure, we suggest following a dedicated at-home oral health regimen, which our MINT dentistry team will help your child understand with education and demonstrations.

Most dental insurance policies cover the costs of annual pediatric exams and biannual cleanings. For any procedures or recommended treatments, our office will contact your insurance company to determine any additional costs. If you aren't covered by dental insurance, we accept several payment options to help make your child's dental care easier to afford. MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN believes that a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile are priceless, and we are committed to helping your family.

Annual exams and biannual cleaning can help your child develop a healthy oral hygiene routine that will benefit them throughout their life.
