Compassionate, Comprehensive Care for Every Child’s Smile
​
At Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we believe that every child deserves the gift of a healthy, confident smile. That’s why we provide a full range of pediatric dental treatments designed to protect growing teeth, prevent cavities, and encourage lifelong oral health. From a baby’s very first dental visit to ongoing care for school-aged children and teens, our team is here to make every step of the journey positive, comfortable, and stress-free.
​
Early Childhood Dental Visits
​
Your child’s first dental visit should take place by their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in. These early visits are key for spotting potential concerns, preventing cavities, and helping children build healthy dental habits from the start. We focus on creating a welcoming environment so kids feel safe and parents feel informed.
​
Advanced Technology for Kids’ Smiles
​
We use digital X-rays, which are safe, quick, and use significantly less radiation than traditional methods. These images allow us to track your child’s dental growth, see what’s happening below the surface, and provide the best possible care at every stage of development.
