The Dental Specialists Pediatric dentistry is much more than performing dental procedures on kids.
Pediatric Dentistry in Minnesota
Our team at The Dental Specialists of Pediatric Dentists includes board-certified doctors who practice at multiple locations throughout the Twin Cities. From routine cleanings to comprehensive children’s services like sealants, fluoride treatment, fillings, and much more, we’re committed to delivering child-centered dental care that sets kids up for success.
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit be on or before his/her first birthday. This initial visit allows our pediatric dentists to examine a child to detect early tooth decay, determine fluoride needs, and monitor proper oral and facial development. An early introduction to the dentist also builds trust and helps put a child at ease during future dental visits. We encourage parents to reinforce that going to the dentist is a positive experience, and we always explain procedures positively and pleasantly.
Call today to schedule a visit for your child with one of our pediatric dentists near Minneapolis at The Dental Specialists.

What is a pediatric dentist?
While any general dentist can practice dentistry on a child, properly treating children so they are comfortable and receive the right level of care often takes a specialist. A pediatric dentist knows exactly how to treat children and how to recognize early warning signs that a general dentist who isn't used to treating kids might miss.
What is pediatric dentistry?
We Know Kids Almost As Well As We Know Teeth
The pediatric dentists at The Dental Specialists understand that kids have very specific dental needs. Our Minnesota dentists are much more than doctors who just happen to treat kids’ teeth. We’re specialists who know how to make children (and parents) feel good about visiting a dentist. No matter how old your child is, we’re experts at gaining their trust and making every visit pleasant. We’re also experts at instilling a passion for lifelong dental health.
Simply put, our dentists are great with kids. We know how to treat their teeth, and we know how to talk to them so they feel comfortable while also developing an understanding of the importance of good dental hygiene. We love seeing all children from birth through adolescence, and we’re especially good at working with kids who have special needs or anxiety about dental treatment. We also collaborate with other specialists to make sure your children have immediate access to all levels of dental care. When it’s time for braces or wisdom teeth removal, you’ll know your kids are in great hands.
