#1 Gentle Dental Care for Children in Gonzales, LA

We’re not a pediatric office, and that makes parents a little hesitant at first, but that’s because we’re an office for the whole family. Whether it’s routine care or emergency dentistry, Moses Family Dental is here to help.

​

We have extensive experience providing care for children of all ages. That doesn’t just include getting them in the dental seat and sticking to our specialty. We also have behavior management experience to help children who get a little overstimulated, bored, or overwhelmed at the dentist’s office, and we know how to properly monitor their growth to ensure that our care matches their development. 

​

These visits are crucial, too.

​

Sometimes, parents think youth dental care isn’t as important because they have baby teeth that will fall out anyway, but look at this as the foundation for the rest of your child’s life.

​

Getting them into regular dental appointments for check-ups and cleanings helps them develop good oral hygiene habits that will stick with them, and it ensures that they set a good foundation for their permanent teeth.

At Moses Family Dental, we strive to be your child’s one-stop shop for all their dental needs. After all, it’s hard to get a kid to enjoy the dentist’s office, and once they’re comfortable at once, it’s a good idea to make sure that’s where they go for everything.

​

From basic exams to more serious fillings and care, we offer a comprehensive list of services to make sure your kid can count on us every time.

​

• Exams

• Regular dental cleanings

• X-rays

• Fluoride treatments to promote healthy teeth

• Sealants to protect teeth that might be wearing down

• Cavity fillings

• Emergency dental care for damage and oral health issues

• Orthodontic evaluations to keep your child’s oral health on track

 

All of our services, from the most basic regular exams to the most dire emergency care, are done with a kid-first attitude. We’re gentle and caring throughout each service to ensure their comfort. We create a welcoming environment that is soothing and fun, and we manage pain to ensure that your kid doesn’t get a bad impression from the dentist.

A lot of adults get anxious when it comes time to go to the dentist. For kids, it’s a scary experience, and most of them do not want to do it at first.

​

Our team takes a gentle approach that’s welcoming and comfortable, and we have extensive experience with kids. However, you can help put your child at ease and make the trip more enjoyable with just a couple of basic practices before each appointment.

​

• First, try to reinforce that it’s a positive experience. Don’t let their mind wander and worry about what might happen. Keep it fun and highlight the dentist’s office as a good thing.

• Then, try to let them know what to expect. If they know each step, they’ll be a lot calmer.

• Another good idea is to make sure they have a comfort item with them or something to keep them busy. It’ll keep their mind off the visit and help a lot.

• Of course, the promise of a fun reward always goes a long way.

• The more you go for regular visits, the easier it’ll be.

Moses Family Dental provides caring, convenient, and comfortable services that make kids love the dentist and promote good oral health.
