Northside Family Dentistry

Children’s Dentistry In North O'Fallon, MO

Children’s Dentistry

Our practice treats adults and children over three years old. Early preventative care can help children maintain healthy teeth and establish a good relationship with the dentist. Many times a child’s first visit is a short introductory icebreaker to help your child become comfortable with the dentist. Dr. Logan recommends scheduling children’s appointments earlier in the day when young children are more alert and fresh.

Many parents are nervous about their child’s first visit to the dentist. Here are a few tips for making the first trip easier for your children:

  • Tell them about what they will see and hear in the office. Positively talk through what happens at a typical visit to the dentist.
  • Visit the library to look for positive children’s books about going to the dentist.
  • Look at this website with your children so they can see pictures of our office and staff before coming in.
  • Sometimes it is helpful for a younger sibling to watch an older sibling’s appointment first. Of course, this is only true if the older sibling is comfortable with the dentist.
  • Let them ask the dentist and hygienist a couple questions.
  • After the appointment, try to avoid asking negative questions like “Did it hurt?” or “Did you get a shot?” Please give us a chance to give your children a positive experience first.
  • Most importantly, be positive and encouraging about the whole experience.

This is an outstanding dental office! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and totally professional. The technicians are fantastic and the Doctor is 1st class. This office is located right off Main Street on Highway P in O'Fallon Missouri. Just a little bit north of Highway 70.

I absolutely love everything about Northside Family Dentistry! All of the hygienist are funny, caring, and really listen when you tell them what is going on prior to seeing the dentist himself. I love the fact that he is so honest and never tries to push you into any work that does not need to be done!

My app. went very well and the dentist saved me money by not doing a crown that he didn't think I needed .

Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. When other dentists were booking 3+ months out, they gave me an appointment 1 month out and then moved me up 2 weeks. Dental hygienist did an outstanding job and was very professional.

Katie did a great job cleaning my teeth. I have had an irrational fear of the dentist most of my life but since coming to Northside I have really no anxiety.

Always an excellent experience. Some dentist offices try to get you to pay for unnecessary dental work. Northside gets you in and out with no unnecessary "upsells."

Dr. Ryan Hough and his team are the definition of perfection. I have an extremely difficult time, going to the dentist and have been shamed by previous dentist when I was a kid which really turned me off from going at all. Dr. Hough is so kind and understanding. He understands that it’s hard for some people and his literal response is “that’s okay, I’m happy you’re here now” and here’s what we can do to help you. I followed him from his previous practice and he’s literally the only dentist I trust. 10/10!
