At Luck Dental Clinic, we know how important your child’s oral health is to their overall well-being. That’s why we offer affordable, comprehensive pediatric dental care, especially designed to support the healthy growth and development of your child’s teeth, jaw, and speech. Whether your child needs a routine checkup or specialized treatment, Dr. Morgan Clemenson, trusted children’s dentist serving Stillwater, MN and surrounding communities, is here to help your family smile with confidence.

Why Pediatric Dentistry Matters

Establishing a strong foundation in oral health early in life is essential. Here’s why pediatric dental care plays such a vital role in your child’s long-term dental health:

  • Early Detection of Dental Issues
    Routine exams help identify cavities, alignment concerns, and other oral health problems before they become serious.

  • Building Lifelong Oral Hygiene Habits
    Our team educates children and parents on proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits for healthy teeth and gums.

  • Preventive Treatments
    Our preventive services, including dental sealants and fluoride treatments, help protect your child’s teeth from cavities and decay. These simple, effective treatments not only support long-term oral health but also help families save time and money by reducing the need for more extensive dental care later on.

  • Care for Special Dental Needs
    We also address conditions such as thumb-sucking, cleft palate, and other unique dental concerns in children.

Dental Cleanings and Exams

While daily brushing and flossing are essential, biannual (twice a year) professional cleanings and exams are key to preventing problems like cavities and gum disease. Our gentle, child-friendly team removes plaque and monitors your child’s dental development at every visit.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s molars. They help block out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of decay. With proper care and regular checkups, sealants can last for several years.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. We offer fun, flavored fluoride treatments in rinse, gel, varnish, or foam forms during your child’s regular dental visits. It's a quick and painless way to boost your child’s cavity protection.

Emergency Pediatric Dental Care

Dental emergencies require quick action. If your child has a damaged filling, toothache, or injury, contact our emergency dentist right away at (715) 472-2211. Prompt treatment helps prevent infection and protects your child’s oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions 

  • The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. This early visit allows the dentist to examine your child’s mouth, teeth, and gums and identify potential issues before they become more serious.

  • During your child’s first dental visit, the dentist will examine their mouth, teeth, and gums. They may also clean your child’s teeth and provide tips for maintaining good oral hygiene at home. The dentist may also discuss issues such as teething, thumb-sucking, and the importance of a healthy diet for oral health.

  • The frequency of dental visits for children will depend on their needs and risk factors for oral health issues. Generally, children should see the dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and exam. However, if your child has a history of dental problems or is at high risk for developing oral health issues, they may need to see the dentist more frequently.

  • There are several things you can do to help your child feel more comfortable at the dentist’s office. One of the most important is to choose a pediatric dentist trained to work with children and understand how to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. You can also read books about going to the dentist and practicing good oral hygiene habits at home to help prepare your child for their visit.
