Our Puyallup Pediatric Dentist Gives Your Child Exceptional Care

As a parent, it’s important to find the right dental professional for your child. At Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry, we can be the go-to dentist for both you and your child. Instead of you driving to a separate office to see a pediatric dentist in Puyallup, your child can feel comfortable right here in familiar surroundings. Our children’s dentistry offers:

  • “Happy visits” to get your child acquainted with dental care
  • Convenient early morning hours to fit your schedule
  • A complimentary coffee bar for your enjoyment
  • A kids’ corner with a smart TV for watching Netflix
  • Pillows and blankets if needed, so your child will feel comfortable
  • The capacity to see your entire family at one time with advanced notice

Come join our happy dental family! Call us today to schedule an appointment for your child: 253-999-9419. We’re centrally located at 3920 10th St. SE, not far from both Sunrise Elementary and Ferrucci Junior High.

You & Your Little Ones Will Love Our Children’s Dentistry

Getting your child started out right with proper dental care and dental education is one of the most important things you can do for them. At Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry, we can help you with all your child’s dental needs. We see kids as young as 3 or 4, as long as they are comfortable sitting in our chair.

Your child’s first appointment or two will be what we call “happy visits.” These relaxed visits will acquaint them with our staff and get them used to the idea of dental care. We may give them a short tour of our office and show them some of the equipment we use. Kids usually love this part of their visit. If your child sucks their thumb, we can even give you tips and advice on how to manage it.

As they get a little older, we’ll perform a complete dental exam and cleaning, just like your own appointments. If they need services like fluoride treatment, tooth sealants, or tooth fillings, we can take care of all those needs as well.

If you have several children or need your own regular checkup we can schedule your whole family at the same time! Just give us a little advanced notice.

There’s no need to go to a Puyallup pediatric dentist when we can help keep your child’s smile in great shape right here! Call us today to schedule their appointment: 253-999-9419. You can also make an appointment .

Commonly Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry

What is pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is oral health care specifically catered to children from infancy through their teens. It includes routine cleanings and exams, as well as risk assessment for dental complications, special counseling about nutrition and thumb-sucking habits for better oral health, and care for injured, knocked-out, or decayed teeth.

Why is pediatric dentistry important?

Pediatric dentistry is important because children have different dental needs than adults do. Their jaws and teeth are still developing and need the skills of a dentist who is experienced in treating children on a regular basis. We love seeing kids of all ages in our office, so you can feel comfortable bringing them here for their smile care.

When should a child first visit the dentist?

Generally, children start visiting the dentist around their first birthday; we treat children ages 3 and up. It’s important that your child feels comfortable about visiting the dentist, so we maintain a kid-friendly atmosphere so their experiences with us are positive from an early age. We’ll provide preventive care, closely monitor their dental development, and help with issues like pacifier use and thumb sucking.
