Kentuckiana Pediatric Dentistry

Kentuckiana Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized pediatric dental practice located at 211 High Point Ct Ste 500, Mt Washington, KY 40047, with a phone number of (502) 538-2400. Their official website is smilekentuckiana.com. The clinic's primary mission is to help children, adolescents, and individuals with special needs achieve and maintain optimal oral health through excellent and compassionate dental care. As a specialized practice, they have doctors who have completed additional years of training beyond dental school to focus specifically on the unique dental needs of children. The office environment is designed to be kid-friendly, incorporating a calm and caring atmosphere to ensure a positive experience for young patients. They strongly believe that a lifetime of healthy smiles begins with a child's first tooth and advocate for a child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Regular check-ups, typically every six months, are emphasized for tracking oral habits, hygiene, and growth, preventing issues before they become severe. Kentuckiana Pediatric Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of services, including dental check-ups, preventive care (such as fluoride treatments), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, cavity repair), and various sedation options to ensure comfort and reduce anxiety. These sedation methods include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia, which can be administered in a hospital or surgery center setting for children who require extensive work or cannot cooperate in the office. They also handle emergency dental care. The clinic prides itself on providing one-on-one attention to each child, developing personalized treatment plans. They accept most insurance plans, including Kentucky Medicaid and KCHIP, and work with families to make dental care financially accessible. Patient testimonials often highlight the welcoming, timely, and professional nature of the staff, and the comfortable environment created for children. Dr. Matthew Mitchell, DMD, is a key practitioner at Kentuckiana Pediatric Dentistry.
