We chose the name Kids First Dental to represent a crucial element of our philosophy, which is to provide children with positive experiences when they visit the dentist. After all, many adults avoid going to the dentist because they have had negative visits in the past. By providing kids with a comfortable place to get treatment, we hope to encourage children and teach them that visiting the dentist can be fun.
Besides having warm and friendly staff, we also have some special amenities for kids. For example, there is a state of the art playroom and even a no cavity club that kids can join when they have a cavity-free visit.
Finally, a major goal of ours is keeping your familys dental care affordable so that you do not have to deal with the stress of trying to determine whether or not you have the money to fill a cavity or get a dental cleaning. To do so, we accept most private insurance options as well as group plans. We are also part of Medicaid and have a loyalty program in addition to low-cost cleanings.
