Children can encounter tooth decay and cavities at two years old. MINT dentistry recommends you bring your child for their first visit by the time they are a year and a half, so a MINT dental professional can ensure there are no development problems. Your child may keep their baby teeth for several years, so it's a good idea to make sure they remain in good health while they wait for their adult teeth to grow in. This starts with scheduling appointments twice a year for exams and cleanings.

Your child feeling safe is of the utmost importance when they visit the dentist. Our team of talented professionals will ensure they're comfortable and at ease before starting any procedure or exam. We will explain each step in detail so they are part of the process. At the start of the appointment, we'll provide MINT sunglasses and ask them to relax in one of our super comfy treatment chairs. A MINT dentistry team member will begin a simple examination of your child's mouth, followed by a professional cleaning. We may recommend preventive treatments like fluoride rinses or sealants to strengthen and protect your child's teeth as they develop. If we find a concern, we'll work with you to create a customized treatment plan with your child's care and comfort as the priority. Our Decatur, GA, dentists are committed to using the most advanced dental technology available to ensure your family's dental treatments are quick and comfortable but still highly effective.

A follow-up appointment might be necessary if we find a problem with your child’s oral health. Every dentist and team member at MINT dentistry is experienced in 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. To maintain a healthy mouth, our board-certified MINT dentists recommend you schedule dental cleanings in six-month intervals and dental exams once a year for every member of your family. Aftercare following a regularly scheduled dental exam or cleaning includes a daily home care routine, as instructed by the MINT dentistry team.

Dental insurance typically covers pediatric dental exams and cleanings. Our MINT support staff will speak to your insurance company to calculate what is covered and any remaining costs for any procedures or recommended treatments. If you don't have dental insurance, we accept many payment options to help make your child's dental care easily affordable. MINT dentistry in Decatur, GA believes that a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile are invaluable assets, and we're dedicated to helping you afford both. Please speak with our team to learn more about getting your family on the MINT Discount Plan.
