When your child needs dental care, finding the right pediatric dentist can be stressful. You want someone who understands how to make dental visits comfortable and even enjoyable for young patients, while providing the thorough, gentle care your child deserves. The early dental experiences your child has will shape their relationship with oral health for life, making your choice of pediatric dentist one of the most important healthcare decisions you’ll make for your family.
At Red Rock Dental in Las Vegas, Dr. Alan McCaffrey and Dr. Thomas Booker have spent over 20 years creating a welcoming environment where children feel safe and excited about taking care of their teeth. Our team understands that every child is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet each young patient where they are, whether they’re visiting us for the first time or they’re one of our regular patients who lights up when they see our friendly staff.
We’ll help you keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy with our gentle pediatric dental appointments.
Children’s teeth are prone to cavities and are constantly changing. Without proactive care and regular hygiene visits, challenges that surface may be irreversible. Our team is dedicated to providing gentle care for your child and educating them on the importance of good oral hygiene so that they maintain a healthy mouth and great brushing and flossing habits.
Children’s mouths are constantly changing and developing, requiring a different approach than adult dentistry. Babies are born with all of their baby teeth in their jaw, with the first teeth typically erupting around 6 months and all primary teeth appearing by age 3. This rapid development means regular monitoring is essential to ensure proper growth and catch any issues early.
Think of your child’s primary teeth as the foundation for their future smile. These baby teeth serve as placeholders, guiding permanent teeth into their proper position. When primary teeth are lost too early due to decay or injury, it can create spacing issues that may require orthodontic treatment later. Our preventive approach focuses on protecting these important teeth while teaching children healthy habits they’ll carry into adulthood.
Walking into a dental office can feel intimidating for a child, which is why we’ve designed our practice with young patients in mind. From the moment your family enters our Summerlin location, you’ll notice the difference. Our team takes extra time to explain procedures in age-appropriate language, often using analogies that help children understand what’s happening.
For example, we might describe teeth cleaning as “giving your teeth a bubble bath” or compare dental tools to familiar objects. This approach helps reduce anxiety and builds trust between your child and our dental team. We believe that when children feel comfortable and informed, they become active participants in their oral health care rather than passive patients.
The following are the pediatric dental services we provide:
Regular dental cleanings and exams form the cornerstone of pediatric dental care. During these visits, we assess your child’s oral development, looking for early signs of decay, monitoring tooth eruption patterns, and evaluating bite alignment. Our gentle cleaning techniques remove plaque and tartar buildup while teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially important for children who are still developing their oral hygiene skills. We apply fluoride in flavors that children enjoy, making this protective treatment something they actually look forward to.
When dental issues arise, early intervention is key to preventing more complex problems later. Our conservative approach focuses on preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. We use minimally invasive techniques and modern materials to restore teeth while ensuring your child’s comfort throughout the process.
For children who experience dental anxiety, we offer various comfort measures and take extra time to ensure they feel secure. Dr. McCaffrey’s philosophy of conservative, minimally invasive dentistry is particularly beneficial for young patients, as it prioritizes preserving healthy tooth structure and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
Our office is designed to be welcoming and comfortable for children, helping to reduce anxiety and make dental visits a positive experience.
Our pediatric dentist has advanced training in child psychology and behavior management, ensuring gentle and effective care.
We emphasize preventive care to help your child avoid dental problems and maintain a healthy smile.
We encourage parents to be involved in their child’s dental care and provide guidance on how to support good oral health at home.
Identifying and addressing dental issues early can prevent more serious problems and reduce the need for extensive treatments in the future.
Education plays a crucial role in pediatric dentistry. We work closely with parents to establish effective home care routines that children can manage independently as they grow. This includes selecting age-appropriate toothbrushes and toothpaste, demonstrating proper brushing techniques, and explaining the importance of limiting sugary snacks and drinks.
Our Spanish-speaking staff members can communicate with families in their preferred language, ensuring that important oral health information is clearly understood by both parents and children. This multilingual capability helps us serve Las Vegas’s diverse community and ensures that language barriers never prevent children from receiving quality dental care.
While we accept many dental insurance plans, you can still see an emergency dentist even if you have no insurance.
At Red Rock Dental, we make urgent care accessible — You can pay out of pocket with cash or credit card.
