Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions About Our Aurora Children's Dentist
What makes Kids Smiles Colorado a kids’ dentist?
At Kids Smiles Colorado, children come first. As a kids' dentist—sometimes called a children's dentist or dentist for children—our Aurora office is dedicated entirely to little ones: infants, toddlers, and growing kids. Our team specializes in children's care, creating a fun and calming environment that helps kids feel comfortable while building healthy habits for life.
When should I take my child to the dentist for the first time?
Most dental experts recommend that your child visit a children's dentist by age one or when their first tooth comes in. Early visits to our Aurora children dental office help prevent tooth decay and get your child comfortable with visiting the dentist regularly.
What makes Kids Smiles different from a general dentist?
We have experience working with young children and understand their unique dental needs. Our Aurora children's dentist team uses gentle techniques, friendly language, and a welcoming environment to help your child feel at ease during every visit.
How can I help my child feel comfortable visiting the dentist?
Talk positively about going to the dentist and explain that the child dentist is there to keep their teeth healthy and strong. Our Aurora kids dentistry team makes first visits fun, using child-friendly tools and a calm approach to make kids feel safe.
¿Ofrecen servicios en español?
¡Sí, hablamos español! Our Aurora children's dentist team is happy to serve families in both English and Spanish, from scheduling your child's first visit to walking through treatment together. We want every family in our community to feel comfortable and understood at every step.
Do you specialize in caring for children who are nervous or have special needs?
Absolutely. At Kids Smiles, we prioritize your child’s comfort and emotional well-being. Our team is trained to support children who are anxious, sensory-sensitive, or have special needs. We take time to understand what helps your child feel safe, move at a pace that builds trust, and create a calm, positive experience. You’re welcome to schedule a quick “get to know” visit or meet the team ahead of time to help your child feel more comfortable.
Do you offer dental care for infants and toddlers?
Yes! We provide care for infants, toddlers, and young children at our Aurora location. Whether it's teething questions, early checkups, or first cleanings, our children's dental team is here to support Aurora families from the very beginning.
What if my child has a cavity?
We provide gentle, stress-free cavity treatments for kids at our Aurora kids dental practice, including fillings and sealants when needed. Our goal is to keep your child comfortable while restoring their smile and promoting long-term oral health.
Do you accept insurance for kids' dentist visits?
Yes! We accept most major dental insurance plans and will happily check your coverage before your child's appointment at our Aurora office. Making your child's visit to the kids dentist simple and stress-free is our priority.
Do you accept Medicaid and CHP+?
Yes! Kids Smiles Colorado proudly accepts Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and CHP+, along with many other dental insurance plans. We believe every child in Aurora deserves quality dental care, and our team is happy to help verify your coverage before your child's appointment.
Do you offer a membership plan for families without insurance?
Yes! Our Kids Dental Membership Plan gives Aurora families without dental insurance an easy, budget-friendly way to get the routine care their child needs, including cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments. No insurance required, just simple, predictable pricing so your child never has to skip a visit.
