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.

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!

Everyone is a complete pleasure to be around. They explain all that they are doing and make sure you are comfortable. I came to them with a mouth full of problems and I’m feeling much better about my teeth. It’s taken some time to get where we are at. But it took time for me to get my teeth where they were. The only thing I wish I had been better at my cleaning. They can’t fix stupid

Our family switched over to North Family Dentistry over a year ago. My whole family, husband down to our 7 year old daughter, are patients here and have had a great experience. It feels like a small town family dentistry. We have our twice a year cleaning, I take my son for extra cleanings every couple of months due to some sensory issues with brushing ( he also is a talker when he is nervous) they are fantastically patient and kind. I’ve also had professional whitening with them and the experience was made clear and I had great results. Front staff are wonderful and feel like a friendly exchange instead of a drs office. I refused fluoride a few times and now they always go out of their way to ask.
