Pediatric Dental Care in Omaha
Building healthy habits for a lifetime of smiles.
We all want our children to have a lifetime of bright and healthy smiles.
Regular visits to a dental office are a great way to prevent problems with your child’s teeth and gums as they grow and develop. Today’s Dental encourages all children to be seen by a dentist by the time they turn one year old and twice per year after that.
Our friendly, knowledgeable team can provide comprehensive, comfortable dental care for both adults and children. At Today’s Dental, you can schedule appointments for everyone in your family in one place- and in many cases, even all on the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Do you provide dental care for children
Yes, our offices gladly accept appointments for the whole family, including children.
Is it normal for my child to fear the dentist?
Absolutely! The unknown can be scary for children. We do our best to make your child comfortable from their very first visit. Our goal is to help establish a trusting relationship with dental professionals that will last their lifetime.
Can my older child take their younger sibling to the dentist for me?
Generally, it is best for a parent or guardian to bring their child to an appointment to sign paperwork giving legal consent to allow treatment for any child aged 19 or younger. And it is best for a parent or guardian to be present to speak to the dentist about any concerns with the child’s dental health. However, in some situations, we can handle consent paperwork in advance and allow an older sibling to accompany a younger sibling. Please call our office to discuss your individual situation.
Do your offices treat children?
Yes, our offices gladly accept appointments for the whole family, including children.
Who is the decision-maker and payer in custody situations with kids?
Legally, the parent with legal custody has the right to make healthcare decisions for the child. To determine the responsible party for payment, we’ll need to review the custody agreement and insurance information for both parents. It’s essential to have clear communication and consent from the legal guardian.
