We Love Working with Children
At McDowell Smile Life Dentistry, we believe that every child deserves a fun, comfortable, and stress-free dental experience. Our team is specially trained to work with kids, creating a warm and welcoming environment that puts both children and parents at ease. We go the extra mile to make your child’s visit enjoyable.
Our approach to children’s dentistry focuses on:
- Building trust and rapport with each child

- Providing a positive, rewarding experience at every visit
Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or they’re regular patients, we’re committed to delivering compassionate care that keeps them smiling.
Cleanings & Exams
Regular cleanings and exams are the foundation of good oral health for kids. Our gentle, thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, while our comprehensive exams allow us to catch and address any issues early. During these visits, we also:
- Teach proper brushing and flossing techniques
- Apply fluoride treatments to strengthen teeth
- Offer nutritional advice for healthy teeth and gums
- Provide dental sealants to protect against cavities
We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. After that, regular check-ups every six months help ensure their smile stays healthy and bright.
Fillings
Despite our best efforts, sometimes kids get cavities. If your child needs a filling, rest assured that we use the latest techniques and materials to make the process as comfortable as possible. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Our approach to fillings for children includes:
- Explaining the procedure in kid-friendly terms
- Using gentle techniques to minimize discomfort
- Offering sedation options for anxious children when necessary
- Providing aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing
Orthodontic Screenings
Early detection of orthodontic issues can make treatment easier and more effective. That’s why we offer orthodontic screenings as part of our children’s dentistry services. Our dentists can identify potential problems with jaw growth, emerging teeth, or bite issues, often before all of your child’s permanent teeth have come in.
We recommend an initial orthodontic screening by age 7. This early assessment allows us to:
- Monitor facial and jaw development
- Identify any emerging orthodontic issues
- Recommend early interventions when beneficial
- Plan for future orthodontic treatment if needed
