Smiling Girls

A trip to the dentist can be fun with children’s dentistry in Mobile

At Abide Family Dental, we appreciate every patient, but our office genuinely lights up when children walk through the door. We love being part of their early dental experiences, providing a good start on a lifetime of healthy smiles with children’s dentistry in Mobile.

Child-friendly atmosphere

We have designed a positive environment that encourages your child to look forward to a trip to the dentist:
  • Staff who know your child by name and address him or her directly.
  • Gentleness and compassion for a crying or frightened child.
  • A playroom in the reception area with books and hands-on toys.
  • Our dentist is friendly and approachable. He explains dental care in age-appropriate terms.
  • Kid-sized instruments for comfortable treatment.

Focus on education and prevention

Routine pediatric visits include:
  • Teeth cleaning
  • Thorough check for cavities
  • Periodontal screening to detect gum disease
  • Digital x-rays
  • Fluoride treatment
  • Monitoring oral development and need for orthodontics

These visits are an important opportunity for you to ask questions, and for Abide Family Dental to provide information to help you keep your child’s mouth healthy at home. Expect discussion on baby bottle cavities, thumb sucking, and pacifiers; demonstrations of brushing and flossing techniques; and nutritional guidance.

The extra care your child deserves

As your little one grows from infancy to childhood, teen years, and adult, dental needs also change. Abide Family Dental may recommend sealants to dramatically reduce risk of cavities in back molars. A custom-fit mouth guard will help to prevent your budding athlete from broken teeth, oral injuries, and possibly concussion. The dentist will talk with your teen about self-image, and peer pressure choices that affect oral health, such as tobacco, alcohol, and oral piercings.

Your child won’t have to switch dentists at adolescence, a critical point in oral health. Your whole family can continue to receive convenient care at one location. Call to schedule an appointment.
