At Kids Smiles Dentistry, we provide complete dental care for children from infancy through teens. Located in Denver’s Westwood-Mar Lee area, we accept Medicaid, most insurance plans, and offer Saturday appointments for busy families.
Preventive Dental Care
Children’s Dental Cleanings & Exams
Regular dental cleanings and check-ups are essential for your child’s oral health. Our gentle hygienists make teeth cleaning fun and comfortable for kids of all ages. We recommend cleanings every 6 months to prevent cavities and catch problems early. Each visit includes a thorough exam by Dr. Jina Rasouli, digital X-rays when needed, and a prize from our treasure box. Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover cleanings 100%.
Dental Sealants for Kids
Protect your child’s molars from cavities with dental sealants. This thin, protective coating is painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth where 9 out of 10 cavities occur in children. Sealants are quick, painless, and can protect teeth for up to 10 years. We recommend sealants as soon as permanent molars come in, typically around age 6 and 12. Most insurance plans cover sealants for children.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and can reduce cavities by up to 40%. Our flavored fluoride varnish takes just minutes to apply and provides months of protection. We offer fluoride treatments at every cleaning appointment for optimal cavity prevention. Safe for toddlers through teens, fluoride is especially important for children in Denver’s low-fluoride water areas.
Restorative Dental Services
Pediatric Dental Fillings
When cavities occur, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that are mercury-free and blend naturally with your child’s teeth. Our gentle approach includes topical numbing gel before any injections, and we explain each step in kid-friendly terms. Small cavities can often be filled without anesthesia using our laser technology. We also offer silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a non-invasive option for young children.
Dental Crowns for Children
Sometimes a baby tooth needs extra protection with a dental crown. We offer both stainless steel crowns for back teeth and tooth-colored crowns for front teeth. Crowns protect teeth after large cavities, root canals, or fractures, allowing baby teeth to guide permanent teeth into position. Our same-day crown placement means fewer visits and less stress for your child.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth can’t be saved or needs removal for orthodontic reasons, we perform gentle extractions with your child’s comfort as our priority. We use topical anesthesia, offer sedation options, and provide detailed aftercare instructions. Most extractions heal quickly, and we’ll discuss space maintainer options if needed to keep teeth properly aligned.
Extra Dental Services
Emergency Dental Care for Kids
Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. We offer same-day emergency appointments for toothaches, knocked-out teeth, dental infections, and injuries. Our Denver office reserves time daily for urgent cases, and Dr. Rasouli provides after-hours guidance for established patients. Call (303) 955-6688 immediately for emergency care – we’re here when you need us most.
Sedation Dentistry Options
For anxious children or extensive procedures, we offer safe sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Our team is trained in childrens sedation protocols, monitoring your child throughout their visit. Sedation helps children have positive dental experiences, preventing dental anxiety as they grow. We’ll discuss which option is best for your child’s needs and temperament.
Special Needs Dentistry
Every child deserves quality dental care. We’re experienced in treating children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and medical complexities. Our team adapts our approach to each child’s unique needs, offering extended appointments, sensory accommodations, and behavioral guidance techniques. We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure comfortable, successful visits.
Infant Oral Health
Start your baby’s dental journey right with an infant oral exam by age one or within 6 months of the first tooth. These gentle “lap exams” help prevent early childhood cavities and establish good habits. We’ll discuss feeding practices, pacifier use, teething, and home care. First exams for children under 3 are FREE at Kids Smiles Dentistry.
