Pediatric Dental Treatment in Las Vegas
For a child, going to the dentist’s office can be a scary thing. At High End Dental, we believe that children should have their first visit before their first birthday. This is also in line with the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Having your child come in at this early age helps establish important dental habits that will ensure that your child will be used to dental visits throughout their childhood. Additionally, establishing these habits will provide a lasting impact on your child’s smile.
If you are looking for a child-friendly dentist in Las Vegas, then our office is what you are looking for. Each of our child dentists is committed to providing some of the best care available in the Las Vegas, NV area. They will even encourage parents to help their children feel more at ease by actually being in the room during their child’s dental treatments. This will help your child feel better about the types of dental procedures that they’ll be receiving, which will also help cement healthy dental habits.
The Very First Visit
It’s just as important to take care of your child’s baby teeth as it’s important to take care of their adult ones. Baby teeth that are healthy will actually affect the healthiness of permanent teeth as well. Additionally, early dental treatment will help your child build a trusting bond with their dentist, which is can last a lifetime.
This first, early visit can establish whether your child has any missing baby teeth that will require orthodontic treatment as they grow. You, as the parent, can also learn from the very first visit what you’ll need to do to ensure that your child’s dental health and hygiene are maintained.
During this first visit, general dentistry will be practiced on your child, but in such a way that your child can enjoy the experience as well. This first visit can include any of our state-of-the-art procedures like digital X-rays or a simple mouth exam. Additionally, your dentist may also check your child’s gums and teeth for any irregularities that will need to be addressed.
For younger kids, our specialist will show you, as the parent, the best way to maintain your infant or toddler’s teeth. As not every parent will bring their child in during their first year, our dentist in Las Vegas will also show your older child how to properly exercise dental hygiene.
Orthodontics and Endodontics For Your Child
In addition to the preventative and restorative dentistry that we perform for your child, we also perform orthodontic and endodontic treatments that can help your child’s teeth and jawline form attractively.
Once they’ve had their comprehensive exam, our specialists can determine if a root canal (an endodontic treatment) is required or whether an orthodontic treatment like braces is needed. Braces can help align teeth and root canals can save teeth that are candidates for extraction but can be saved by our children's dentists.
Pediatric Oral Sedation
As we mentioned, dental visits can be scary for youngsters, especially when there’s a lot of work to be done. With this in mind, we offer pediatric conscious sedation for our youngest patients. This sedation method doesn’t put your child fully under but places them in a more relaxed state of mind. This uses a prescription medication that’s administered based on your child’s weight and leaves your child still able to respond to commands. Since it’s so relaxing, it’s a great way to make the visit less stressful and more comfortable for your child.

Dental Exams & Deep Cleaning
Another way to practice preventative dentistry is to visit your dentist once a year to check your teeth and gums for any issues. The dental specialists at our Las Vegas office can offer exams to clean your teeth and take care of any general dentistry needs that you have
