Comprehensive Pediatric Dentistry Services at Coons Family Dental

We are committed to providing comprehensive dentistry services that address your child’s evolving oral health needs. Our experienced team of pediatric dentists specializes in delivering exceptional dental care for children at every stage of their growth and development.

  • Preventive Care

    We firmly believe in the power of prevention when it comes to maintaining healthy smiles for your little ones. Our preventive care services are designed to protect and preserve your child’s dental health. Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring their teeth and gums remain healthy.


    We also provide fluoride treatments to strengthen their tooth enamel and dental sealants to shield their vulnerable back teeth from decay. By implementing these preventive measures, we aim to minimize the risk of cavities and other dental issues, giving your child a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.

  • Early Orthodontic Evaluation

    Monitoring your child’s dental development is essential for identifying and addressing orthodontic issues at an early stage. We perform thorough evaluations to assess the alignment of your child’s teeth and jaws. By closely monitoring their dental growth, we can detect any signs of misalignment or bite problems.


    If necessary, we will recommend appropriate orthodontic interventions to ensure that their teeth and jaws develop correctly. An early orthodontic evaluation allows us to intervene at the optimal time, potentially reducing the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

    If your child experiences a cavity, we use tooth-colored fillings to restore their teeth seamlessly. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin that matches the natural color of their teeth. This aesthetic restoration addresses the cavity and ensures a natural-looking smile. Our dentists in Folsom take great care in placing these fillings that provide a durable and long-lasting result that blends seamlessly with the rest of your child’s teeth.

  • Dental Emergencies

    Dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly, and we understand the importance of immediate care in such situations. Our compassionate team is experienced in handling dental trauma, toothaches, and other urgent dental needs. We prioritize providing prompt attention and relief to alleviate any pain or discomfort your child may be experiencing. Whether it’s a chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or severe tooth pain, you can rely on us to provide effective and compassionate emergency dental care.

  • Education and Guidance

    At Coons Folsom Dentist, we believe in the power of education and guidance in fostering excellent oral health habits. We provide valuable education to parents and children, empowering them with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain optimal oral health.


    Our team offers guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, emphasizing the importance of regular oral hygiene practices. We also provide nutritional tips and advice to support your child’s oral health. By instilling good dental habits early on, we aim to promote a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • At What Age Should My Child First Visit A Pediatric Dentist?

    The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child sees the dentist as soon as after their first tooth erupts. The first six months after their tooth’s eruption are crucial in maintaining their dental health. Usually, your kid’s first visit should be around their first birthday.

  • Are Dental X-Rays Safe For My Kids?

    Yes. Dental X-rays have been proven safe for young ones. We also use protective equipment and precautions to reduce radiation exposure. Moreover, we only take X-rays when necessary.

  • What Toothpaste Should My Child Use?

    According to the American Dental Association, children under six must use toothpaste without fluoride. This prevents kids from the complications of swallowing toothpaste.

  • How Often Should My Child Have Dental Check-Ups?

    General check-ups should generally happen every six months. However, the frequency may change based on your children’s dental needs.

  • How Can I Prepare My Child For A Dental Visit?

    It’s normal for kids to feel anxious for their first dental visit. Watching videos or telling positive stories about the dentist will familiarize them and make them comfortable with dental visits. Avoid scaring them, like getting a shot or sharing your own dental anxieties.
