What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care focused exclusively on the unique oral health needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Our pediatric dental specialists understand how children’s teeth, gums, and jaws develop differently from adults, and we use this knowledge to provide age-appropriate treatments that promote healthy growth and development.
Children’s teeth are more than just “practice teeth” – they play crucial roles in proper nutrition, speech development, and guiding the correct positioning of permanent teeth. Our pediatric dentistry approach emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and creating positive associations with dental care that last a lifetime.
At Luxe Dental, we combine the latest advances in pediatric dental techniques with a child-friendly approach that makes dental visits something your kids actually look forward to. Our bilingual team communicates with children in age-appropriate language, explaining procedures in ways that reduce anxiety and build understanding.
Why Early Dental Visits Matter
At Luxe Dental in Playas de Rosarito, we believe a healthy smile starts early. Bringing your child to the dentist from a young age helps prevent problems before they begin, builds lifelong healthy habits, and ensures that every visit feels positive and stress-free. Our pediatric dental care is designed to protect your child’s oral health while supporting their overall well-being.
Preventing Problems Before They Start
Early dental checkups make it easier to detect and treat issues like cavities, gum irritation, or bite concerns while they are still small and affordable to fix. Regular visits also allow us to monitor tooth development and address habits—such as thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use—that may affect your child’s bite.
Building Lifelong Healthy Habits
Children who see the dentist early are more likely to maintain excellent oral hygiene into adulthood. We make learning fun by teaching brushing and flossing techniques in ways that feel playful, helping kids see dental care as a positive part of everyday life.
Avoiding Dental Anxiety
Positive early experiences at the dentist help children feel safe, relaxed, and confident in the dental chair. Our gentle, kid-friendly approach reduces the risk of dental anxiety or phobias later in life, making future visits stress-free for both children and parents.
Protecting Overall Health
Oral health is closely linked to overall health. Untreated dental problems in children can affect nutrition, sleep quality, school performance, and self-esteem. By keeping their teeth and gums healthy, we help your child eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Guiding Proper Development
Pediatric dental visits also allow us to track how teeth and jaws are growing. Early detection of orthodontic issues makes treatment easier, less invasive, and more effective, giving your child the best chance at a naturally aligned smile.
Pediatric Dentistry Services at Luxe Dental
Pediatric Consultation – $30
Your child’s first visit is all about getting acquainted and building trust. Our comprehensive consultation includes a gentle examination, age-appropriate oral health education, and development of a personalized care plan. We take time to answer all your questions and help your child feel comfortable in our dental environment. This affordable initial visit sets the foundation for a lifetime of positive dental experiences.
Child Prophylaxis – $30
Regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. Our gentle cleaning procedures remove plaque and tartar buildup while teaching children proper oral hygiene techniques. We use child-friendly flavored polishing pastes and make the experience fun and educational. These routine cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease while monitoring your child’s oral development.
Child Fluoride Application – $20
Professional fluoride treatments provide extra protection against tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria. Our fluoride applications are quick, painless, and available in child-friendly flavors. This preventive treatment is especially beneficial for children at higher risk for cavities and provides months of additional protection.
Child Sealants – $30
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth where cavities most commonly occur. This painless preventive treatment can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80% in treated teeth. Sealants are especially important for children and teenagers, as they protect teeth during the cavity-prone years when oral hygiene habits are still developing.
Pediatric Resin – $45
When cavities do occur, our tooth-colored composite resin fillings restore your child’s tooth to full function while maintaining a natural appearance. Unlike silver fillings, our resin restorations bond directly to the tooth structure, requiring less tooth removal and providing better long-term support. The filling material is completely safe and mercury-free.
Pulpotomy – $70
Often called a “baby root canal,” a pulpotomy removes infected tissue from the top portion of a tooth’s pulp while preserving the healthy root portion. This procedure is performed when decay reaches the nerve of a baby tooth but the infection hasn’t spread to the roots. The treatment saves the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally, avoiding the need for early extraction and space maintenance.
Pulpectomy – $70
A pulpectomy is similar to a pulpotomy but involves removing all infected pulp tissue from both the crown and roots of the tooth. This procedure is necessary when infection has spread throughout the tooth’s nerve system. After removing the infected tissue, we fill the tooth with a special material and typically place a crown to protect the treated tooth until the permanent tooth erupts.
Pediatric Crowns
Acerochrome Crowns – $80 These durable stainless steel crowns provide excellent protection for heavily damaged or treated baby teeth. While they have a metallic appearance, they’re extremely strong and last until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt.
Pediatric Zirconia Crowns – $350 Our premium white crowns offer the ultimate in aesthetics and durability. Made from biocompatible zirconia ceramic, these crowns look completely natural and are stronger than stainless steel. They’re perfect for front teeth or when aesthetics are a primary concern.
Esthetic Frontal – $350 Specially designed for front teeth, these white crowns restore both function and appearance when baby teeth are severely damaged. They help maintain your child’s confidence while protecting the tooth until the permanent replacement erupts.
Celluloid Crown – $120 These tooth-colored temporary crowns provide immediate protection and aesthetics while permanent solutions are being prepared. They’re often used as interim solutions or for children who need time to adjust to the idea of dental treatment.
Space Maintainer – $100
When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, space maintainers hold the space open for the permanent tooth to erupt properly. These custom-made appliances prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space, which could cause crowding or alignment problems when the permanent tooth tries to emerge.
Lingual Trap – $160
This specialized orthodontic appliance helps break harmful habits like tongue thrusting that can affect speech development and tooth alignment. The lingual trap gently reminds children to keep their tongue in the proper position, promoting better oral development.
Hirax – $160
The Hirax appliance is designed to expand the upper jaw when it’s too narrow, creating more space for teeth and improving breathing function. Early intervention with expansion appliances can often prevent the need for more complex orthodontic treatment later.
Lip Bumper – $160
Lip bumpers help create space in the lower jaw by holding the lips away from the teeth, reducing pressure that can cause crowding. This gentle appliance is particularly effective in growing children and can often eliminate the need for tooth extractions during orthodontic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: At what age should my child first see a dentist?
A: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish good oral health habits, allow us to monitor development, and help children become comfortable with dental care from an early age. Even if your child doesn’t have teeth yet, we can provide valuable guidance on oral hygiene and development.
Q: Are fluoride treatments safe for children?
A: Yes, professional fluoride treatments are completely safe when administered by trained dental professionals. The fluoride we use is specifically formulated for children and applied in controlled amounts. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and provides significant protection against cavities. Unlike fluoride toothpaste, our professional applications provide months of protection and are applied in a way that minimizes ingestion.
Q: What’s the difference between a pulpotomy and a pulpectomy?
A: A pulpotomy removes only the infected pulp tissue from the top portion of the tooth while preserving healthy tissue in the roots. It’s often called a “baby root canal” and is used when infection hasn’t spread to the roots. A pulpectomy removes all infected tissue from both the crown and roots of the tooth and is necessary when infection has spread throughout the tooth’s nerve system. Both procedures save the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally.
Q: When are space maintainers necessary?
A: Space maintainers are needed when a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay, injury, or other factors. They hold the space open for the permanent tooth to erupt in the correct position. Without space maintainers, neighboring teeth can shift into the empty space, causing crowding problems when the permanent tooth tries to emerge. This simple appliance can prevent the need for more complex orthodontic treatment later.
Q: Are zirconia crowns safe and durable for kids?
A: Yes, pediatric zirconia crowns are extremely safe and durable. Zirconia is a biocompatible ceramic material that is stronger than stainless steel while providing a natural, tooth-like appearance. These crowns contain no metals, making them ideal for children with metal sensitivities. They resist staining and chipping better than other materials and maintain their appearance until the permanent tooth erupts.
Q: How can I help my child feel comfortable about dental visits?
A: Start by maintaining a positive attitude about dentistry and avoiding words like “hurt,” “pain,” or “shot.” Read children’s books about dental visits, play “dentist” games at home, and let your child know that the dentist is a helper who keeps teeth strong and healthy. Arrive early for appointments so your child can get comfortable with the environment, and trust our team to guide the experience—we’re specially trained to help children feel safe and comfortable.
Q: What if my child has dental anxiety?
A: Dental anxiety is common in children, and our team has extensive experience helping anxious kids feel at ease. We use techniques like tell-show-do, distraction, positive reinforcement, and comfort measures to help children relax. For extremely anxious children, we offer various sedation options to ensure they can receive necessary care in a stress-free manner. The key is patience, understanding, and creating positive experiences that build confidence over time.
Give your child the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Contact Luxe Dental today and experience the difference that specialized, compassionate pediatric dental care can make for your family. Your child’s happy, healthy smile is our greatest reward.
