Pediatric Dental Services

At Anthem Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Las Vegas, Drs. Jeffrey A. Cox (DDS) and Chad Ellsworth (DMD, MS) specialize in dental care for growing kids — from toddlers to teens! 

The dentist can be a scary place for little ones who have had previous dental trauma and even for first-time patients. The dentists and hygienists at our East Las Vegas location are very aware of this, and we do a great job of explaining what everything is and what’s going to happen to help set them at ease. With continuing education in the dental field, the entire staff at our dental office applies new techniques and utilizes innovative technology to provide your kids with the highest level of care and comfort. As always, parents and caregivers are allowed back into the treatment areas to be with their children.

Our dental office emphasizes prevention because that is what keeps fears at bay — the more routine the dental care is and the fewer fillings or in-depth treatments we have to perform, the better the experience the child will likely have. 

Pediatric dental care can never begin too early (shortly after your child gets their first tooth). It’s important to begin to build healthy dental habits early, not only in brushing and flossing at home but also through eating healthy and scheduling routine dental exams to ensure your child’s teeth are healthy and cavity-free.

Dental Cleanings In Las Vegas

Professional dental cleanings are performed by our specially-trained hygienists who examine the surface of your child’s teeth looking for any signs of cavities or any fillings they may have. They also examine the gums for periodontal disease and finish by cleaning their teeth with a variety of tools to remove tartar and plaque.

Each dental cleaning visit provides comprehensive care:

  • Dental X-rays (when applicable)
  • Removing plaque and tartar buildup
  • Flossing and polishing teeth
  • Examination of teeth and gum for any signs of dental issues or disease
