Building Healthy Habits from the Start
Children’s dentistry focuses on preventive care and education tailored to young smiles. At Lubbock Dental Care and Orthodontics, we make dental visits fun, gentle, and stress-free for kids—so they feel safe, confident, and curious about caring for their teeth. From routine cleanings to fluoride treatments and dental sealants, our goal is to support healthy development and prevent issues before they start.
Why Early Visits Make a Big Difference
It’s never too early to bring your child in for their first dental visit. In fact, the American Dental Association recommends a checkup by their first birthday. Regular dental visits help us track how your child’s teeth and jaw are growing, while also giving us the chance to reinforce positive oral hygiene habits. Whether they’re teething, losing baby teeth, or getting braces, our Lubbock team offers age-appropriate care every step of the way
