Our Pediatric Dental Services in Arlington, Texas
Regular Check-ups and Cleanings
Regular dental visits are the cornerstone of your child’s oral health. Our skilled pediatric dentists perform thorough examinations, monitor growth and development, and provide gentle yet effective cleanings. These visits not only maintain dental hygiene but also give us a chance to catch potential issues early and address them promptly.
Dental Sealants
Protecting your child’s teeth from cavities is crucial. Dental sealants are a proven method to prevent decay. Our expert pediatric dentists apply thin, protective coatings to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. This creates a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities in these vulnerable areas.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride plays a vital role in strengthening tooth enamel and preventing cavities. Our fluoride treatments are safe and painless. They provide an extra layer of protection against acid attacks from bacteria and sugary foods, helping your child maintain strong and healthy teeth.
Early Orthodontic Evaluations
Early detection of orthodontic issues can save your child from more extensive treatments later on. Our pediatric dentists are skilled in assessing your child’s bite and tooth alignment. By identifying potential concerns at an early stage, we can recommend appropriate interventions to guide their dental development in the right direction.
Cavity Prevention and Treatment
Even with proper oral hygiene, cavities can still occur. Our pediatric dentists are experienced in treating cavities with the utmost care and precision. We use advanced techniques and materials to ensure a comfortable experience while addressing any decay, restoring your child’s tooth to its healthy state.

Pediatric Dentistry FAQs
When should I schedule my child's first dental visit?
Your child’s first dental visit is recommended when their first tooth appears, or no later than their first birthday. Early visits establish a positive dental routine and allow us to monitor growth.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental appointment?
Introduce dental care through playful activities, read books that feature dentists, and explain the visit using age-appropriate language. Your positive attitude will reassure your child.
Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. We use digital X-rays and protective equipment to minimize radiation exposure while gaining essential diagnostic information.
What are dental sealants, and how do they protect my child's teeth?
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They act as a protective shield, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling in the grooves and causing cavities.
What should I do in case of a pediatric dental emergency?
Stay calm and contact Rush Creek Dentistry immediately. For a knocked-out tooth, gently clean it and place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk and visit us promptly. For other emergencies, such as chipped teeth or severe toothaches, seek immediate care.
