The Staff and Dentists of the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine focus on providing a safe and kind environment to maintain and enhance the oral health of your child. We aim to provide experiences that allow children to gain confidence and trust in oral health care providers.
Our team provides comprehensive dental care to children up to 16 years of age, and to those with special healthcare needs. Our pediatric dental residents, who are licensed general dentists gaining advanced training, provide treatment under the supervision of our Board Certified Pediatric Dentist Faculty.
We offer the following:
- Exams
- Cleanings
- Full-mouth x-rays
- Fillings/Restorations
- Crowns
- Extractions
- Interceptive orthodontics
- Space maintenance
- Dental trauma and emergent care
- Preventive and restorative care
We also coordinate with other specialty services in house as needed:
- Endodontics – root canal therapy and other treatments to save teeth that have been damaged by traumatic injuries and large cavities.
- Orthodontics – treating issues with the teeth and jaw, such as misaligned teeth, bite problems, and jaw irregularities, using braces or other appliances.
- Oral pathology – diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases affecting the mouth and jaw.
For anxious children, all of our treatment rooms are equipped with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help him or her feel more at ease. We also provide oral conscious sedation/moderate sedation, or the use of general anesthesia.
Same day appointments are often available. Our treatment costs are typically lower than you would find in a private practitioner’s office, and we accept most insurances including Medicaid and Liberty Dental.
