Children’s Dentistry in Northwest Oklahoma City

Building Healthy Habits from the First Tooth

Great oral health starts young — and the right dental team can make all the difference. Our children’s dentistry services are designed to help kids feel at ease from their very first visit. Dr. Armin Zarkeshan and our warm, family-friendly team know how to talk to children, calm dental fears, and make appointments positive for both kids and parents.

Whether your child needs a routine exam or support with early dental concerns, we tailor care to their needs and pace. Our goal is to create a healthy foundation that lasts a lifetime.

What’s Included in a Children’s Dental Visit?

A typical visit for children includes gentle, age-appropriate care that supports their development and prevents future problems. Depending on your child’s age and needs, we may include:

• A dental exam to check tooth development, bite, and gum health
  
• Kid-friendly cleanings to remove plaque and buildup
  
• Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
  
• Dental sealants for cavity prevention on back molars
  
• Digital X-rays (only when necessary)
  
• Education on brushing, flossing, and healthy habits
  
• Tips for parents on teething, thumb-sucking, and diet
  

We’ll also answer any questions you or your child have, and ensure everyone feels comfortable and informed before and after the appointment.

When Should My Child See the Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends children see a dentist by their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth erupting. After that, kids should visit every six months for routine exams and cleanings.

Starting early has lifelong benefits. Regular visits:

• Catch developmental issues early
  
• Prevent cavities and gum problems
  
• Help children feel relaxed and familiar with dental care
  
• Establish healthy oral habits for the future
  

If your child is nervous about their first visit, we’ll take things slowly — and always prioritize comfort, communication, and trust.
