Detailed Introduction
Bluegrass Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental practice located at 120 Meridian Way Ste 2, Richmond, KY 40475. They also have a second location in Berea, KY. The clinic specializes in providing comprehensive dental care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs. Their mission revolves around promoting optimal oral health through a "prevention first, intervention second" approach, delivered with genuine concern, clear communication, and clinical excellence.
The clinic aims to create an anxiety-free and comfortable environment for children, featuring a fun and relaxed office with televisions at every chair. They employ technologically advanced equipment, including digital x-rays that use 80% less radiation than traditional ones, prioritizing the safety of their young patients.
Bluegrass Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide range of services, including preventive dentistry (e.g., routine check-ups, cleanings, guidance on brushing and flossing, dietary advice for cavity prevention) and restorative dentistry (for treating cavities). To ensure patient comfort during procedures, they offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia for more extensive work or for children who may have difficulty cooperating.
The team at Bluegrass Pediatric Dentistry consists of specialized pediatric dentists, including Dr. Lucas Bowen, Dr. Zak Thobaben, and Dr. Kevin White, who have completed additional years of training beyond dental school to focus specifically on the unique dental needs of children. They are committed to partnering with both children and parents to foster lifelong healthy habits and ensure a positive dental experience from a child's first visit (recommended around their first birthday or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting) through their adolescent years. The practice also accepts most insurance plans, including Kentucky Medicaid and KCHIP, and works with families to manage financial options.
