Modern Kids Dentistry

Modern Kids Dentistry is a well-established pediatric dental clinic chain serving Central Kentucky, with offices in Lexington, Louisville, Nicholasville, and Elizabethtown. Their core mission is to offer exceptional pediatric dentistry in an environment specifically designed to be comfortable, family-oriented, and ultra kid-friendly. They prioritize making each child's dental experience a positive one, aiming to exceed expectations from the moment families enter the office. The clinic provides comprehensive pediatric dental care services for infants, children, and teens up to 19 years old. This includes preventive care such as routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, as well as restorative and aesthetic dental care. They also offer specialized services like dentistry with nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and even dentistry in an operating room setting for more complex cases or highly anxious children. Modern Kids Dentistry emphasizes early intervention, recommending a child's first dental visit by their first birthday or with the eruption of their first tooth. A key aspect of their philosophy is creating a stress-free and engaging atmosphere for young patients. This is evident in their office design, which includes amenities like iPad check-in systems, Smart TVs with streaming services above dental chairs, Bluetooth headsets, and a giant toy dispenser for post-appointment prizes. They also feature a G Scale Model Train circling the ceiling to entertain children during treatments. The staff is highly trained in handling children with kindness and patience, going slow with younger kids to ensure they remain within their comfort level. Parents are generally welcome to accompany their child during initial examinations, with a recommendation for children aged 4 and over to experience future appointments independently to build confidence and rapport with the dental team. Modern Kids Dentistry is equipped with advanced technology, including digital X-rays for reduced radiation exposure and immediate viewing, and electric handpieces that are quieter and faster, reducing anxiety for pediatric patients. They also utilize topical anesthetics designed for profound numbing before injections, and offer BPA-free tooth-colored fillings and zirconia crowns. Their commitment to patient comfort extends to flexible scheduling options, including family block appointments, and assistance with insurance claims and payment plans. Patient reviews frequently highlight the friendly and compassionate staff, the kid-friendly environment, and the gentle approach of the dentists. Many parents express appreciation for how the clinic alleviates their children's dental anxiety and instills positive feelings about visiting the dentist, laying a foundation for lifelong oral health.
