Lakota Pediatric Dentistry

Lakota Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located at 7908 Cincinnati Dayton Rd R, West Chester Township, OH 45069. The practice specifically caters to the unique oral health needs of infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special healthcare requirements. The team, which includes board-certified pediatric dentists like Dr. Kyle Jackson and Dr. Nannette Sherman, emphasizes creating a fun, educational, and positive environment to help children develop healthy dental habits for life. Their comprehensive services encompass various aspects of pediatric dental care. These include preventive measures such as oral hygiene instruction, fluoride application, and pit and fissure sealants to protect against cavities. They also offer restorative dentistry, including fillings, crowns, and treatment for nursing bottle decay. Lakota Pediatric Dentistry is equipped to handle dental emergencies promptly and compassionately, understanding the stress such situations can cause for both children and parents. For anxious or very young patients, or those requiring extensive treatment, the clinic provides various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV sedation administered by a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist, and dentistry under general anesthesia. This commitment to comfort and safety ensures that even the most challenging cases can receive necessary dental care. Beyond general and restorative treatments, Lakota Pediatric Dentistry also addresses specific concerns like frenectomies (for lip or tongue ties) and offers guidance on proper chewing, eating habits, and the importance of primary teeth for proper development of permanent teeth and jaw bones. They also utilize modern technology, such as digital X-rays, to minimize radiation exposure while providing accurate diagnostics. The clinic prioritizes parent involvement, encouraging caregivers to remain with their children throughout visits and providing anticipatory guidance on growth and development and dietary counseling. Lakota Pediatric Dentistry aims to build long-term relationships with families, making dental visits a comfortable and reassuring experience, fostering trust, and promoting a lifetime of optimal oral health for children. They are open Monday-Wednesday and select Thursdays, with after-hours emergency services available.
