Pediatric dental care in Las Vegas just got even more child-friendly. Desert Kids Dental, named Gold Winner for Best Pediatric Dentist by Best of Las Vegas Magazine, has introduced a new suite of specialized services designed to support children facing common yet often overlooked dental challenges — including dental anxiety, teeth grinding (bruxism), lip sucking, and early tooth loss.
To help families access these vital services, Desert Kids Dental continues to offer its $99 New Patient Special, which includes a full exam, cleaning, and digital X-rays.
Comfort First: Tackling Dental Anxiety with Laser Dentistry
Dental anxiety is a significant barrier to care for many children. At Desert Kids Dental, fear-free dentistry is more than a promise — it's a priority. Using advanced Solea® Laser technology, Dr. Thompson now performs many treatments without drills, needles, or numbing. This shot-free, vibration-free alternative helps reduce anxiety, allowing even the most nervous young patients to receive necessary care comfortably and efficiently.
“Our goal is to eliminate fear from the dental chair,” said Dr. Sandra Thompson, lead pediatric dentist at Desert Kids Dental. “Laser dentistry allows us to complete fillings and soft tissue procedures quickly and painlessly — often with no anesthesia. That’s a game-changer for anxious kids and their parents.”
Protecting Young Smiles from Teeth Grinding
Nighttime teeth grinding, or bruxism, affects a growing number of children. If left untreated, it can lead to jaw pain, worn-down teeth, and headaches. Desert Kids Dental offers Healthy Start Habit Appliances and bite assessments to protect developing smiles. The team also educates families on identifying signs of grinding and managing underlying causes such as stress or misaligned bites.
Lip Sucking: A Habit Worth Breaking
Much like thumb sucking, prolonged lip sucking can interfere with the natural development of a child's teeth and jaw. Desert Kids Dental provides early screenings and habit-breaking guidance for children who struggle to stop. The practice emphasizes a supportive approach that uses positive reinforcement, gentle correction tools, and regular check-ins to track progress.
Managing Early Tooth Loss with Smart Solutions
Children may lose primary (baby) teeth early due to trauma, decay, or underlying health issues. When this happens, space maintenance becomes crucial to ensure proper alignment of the permanent teeth. Desert Kids Dental now offers space maintainers and developmental monitoring to prevent complications. The team works closely with parents to create personalized treatment plans that support speech development, chewing function, and long-term oral health.
A Trusted Name in Pediatric Dentistry
Desert Kids Dental’s recent recognition as Gold Winner in Best of Las Vegas Magazine highlights the clinic’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and compassionate care. From state-of-the-art tools to a kid-friendly environment, the clinic is built to reduce stress and make every visit a positive experience.
$99 New Patient Special Welcomes Las Vegas Families
To introduce more families to its modern approach, Desert Kids Dental is currently offering a $99 New Patient Special, which includes a professional cleaning, dental exam, and digital X-rays. This limited-time promotion makes it easier for parents to prioritize preventive care and set a strong foundation for their children’s oral health.
