Richardson Children's Dentistry

Helping Your Child with All Their Dental Needs

When it’s time for your little one to begin their journey to a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles, contact Dental Care Today of Richardson. Dr. David Nguyen and his team are dedicated to offering advanced dental care that meets the needs of patients at any age. That includes young patients with developing smiles.


The first step to helping your child achieve a flawless smile that will last a lifetime is visiting us for an early checkup where we can examine their smile’s development. We’ll work with young patients to learn to love their smiles and look forward to visiting the dentist. We welcome patients from Richardson and surrounding communities, including Garland and Plano, and we can also schedule appointments for the whole family on the same day you call for maximum convenience.

Your Child’s First Dental Exam & Cleaning

You should bring your child in to see us after the eruption of the first tooth or before their first birthday. This first visit is quick and painless. We simply take a look at your baby’s developing dental structures and help you care for their smiles at home. Once kids are a little older and have more teeth, they’ll experience a more traditional dental exam and teeth cleaning visit.



We like to start by showing young patients around the office and introduce them to our team and all the technologies and instruments they might see. This can help kids feel more confident during treatment. Then, we will:

  • Gather diagnostic images
  • Examine your child’s smile
  • Carefully clean their teeth

Finally, we’ll sit down with you and your child to discuss any areas of concern and guide you and your kids through optimal at-home care.

Children’s Dentistry in Richardson

When it comes to keeping children smiling, regular preventive checkups every six months are an important part of dental care for patients of all ages. In addition to these care visits twice a year, we also provide an array of treatments that are specifically catered toward developing smiles.

Dental Sealants

Painted onto the surfaces of teeth, these invisible shields coat the tooth and seal out decay-causing bacteria and plaque that can damage the smile. It takes just a few extra minutes to apply these sealants, and once they’re in place, they can protect your child’s smile for several years.

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride treatments can be applied during every six-month dental visit to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. Professional topical fluoride treatments are especially important for kids who are experiencing frequent tooth decay. Additionally, oral fluoride supplements may be recommended for young patients who do not receive adequate fluoride in their drinking water or diet.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

When this third set of molars develops, we may recommend extraction to prevent dental shifting, crowding, or impaction (inability of the tooth to erupt from the gums). We are happy to offer simple tooth-pulling procedures and more advanced surgical extractions.

Athletic Sportsguards

We offer custom-crafted athletic sportsguards for young patients who participate in activities where their teeth may come in contact with other players, sports equipment, or hard objects. These custom oral appliances protect smiles from impact and keep your children smiling. Some sports, like football, require players to wear appliances. However, many kids visit us for dental damage that occurs due to participation in a sport where oral appliances aren’t required. Basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball are some of the sports where accidents occur most often, but sportsguards aren’t required for these young athletes. If you’re not sure if your child needs a mouthguard, don’t hesitate to ask during a dental appointment.
