Detailed Introduction

Dentistry for Children is a specialized dental practice committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate oral healthcare specifically designed for infants, children, and adolescents. With established locations in West Valley City and Sandy, Utah, the practice aims to create a welcoming and fun environment to alleviate dental anxiety and foster positive associations with dental visits from a young age. The core mission of Dentistry for Children is to help each young patient achieve and maintain a healthy smile for life. They understand the unique needs of growing smiles, from the eruption of the first tooth to the complexities of adolescent dental care. Their team, including experienced pediatric dentists like Dr. Erik Rooklidge, Dr. Mark Ward, and Dr. Jami Ballatine, undergoes specialized training beyond general dentistry to address the distinct developmental and behavioral aspects of treating children. This includes expertise in child psychology and behavior management techniques, ensuring that every interaction is gentle, understanding, and tailored to the child's comfort level. Dentistry for Children offers a wide range of services, encompassing preventive care, restorative dentistry, and emergency dental services. They emphasize early infant oral care, preventive treatments like fluoride applications, and guidance on proper oral hygiene habits. For treatments that might cause anxiety or require more extensive work, they provide various sedation options, including laughing gas (nitrous oxide), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, to ensure a stress-free experience for the child. The clinics are designed with children in mind, featuring amenities such as playhouses, video games, and TVs to keep young patients entertained and comfortable. They also utilize state-of-the-art dental technologies, including laser dentistry, which can make many procedures more precise, comfortable, and less intimidating by often replacing traditional drills. Beyond clinical care, Dentistry for Children focuses on building trust and strong relationships with both children and their parents. They are dedicated to educating families on maintaining optimal oral health and are adept at answering questions and addressing concerns about a child's dental development. Their commitment to creating a positive and supportive dental home helps children develop a confident outlook on their oral health journeys.

Rebecca Surigao

The staff at Dentistry For Children are extremely friendly and make the experience a great one. My sons were very comfortable conversing with the nurses and doctor as well as going through their cleanings. They made sure that my oldest son was very comfortable, putting a show for him to watch, and talking him through the process of what they were going to do. They also interact and let us (parents) know what is going on and answer any questions that we may have.

They also do provide great feedback and suggestions on teeth cleaning options and explain things so that we won’t be confused. The dentist that worked with my oldest son really spoke to him handed him some of the tools so he can feel involved as well as see that he was in safe hands. Every time we go to this clinic we always leave with a great experience and look forward for the next time.

Since Dr. Reading left the management and experience has gone downhill. I no longer recommend this place, especially for those with sensory issues.

my daughter had her first ever cleaning here! safe to say the dental assistant did such a well job making her feel comfy and safe! + she’s bilingual so my baby was able to communicate with her in both languages! We’ll be coming here from now forward, highly recommend for quality service and customer care

Don’t recommend this place for moms that can’t afford to pay full amounts at the time of your appointment. They don’t work with you, don’t do care to help find solutions financially. They don’t accept payment’s plans which I failed to learn the hard way unfortunately. Please moms do your research and find dentistry that helps you because there are some locations that do so.
