Comfortable Children's Dentistry

Sugar Creek, MO

Gentle, Personalized Dental Care for Kids in Sugar Creek

At Enrich Dental, we’re passionate about helping little smiles grow up healthy and strong. Our children’s dentistry services are designed to make every visit a positive experience for both kids and parents.

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit around six months after their first tooth comes in—usually by their first birthday. During this visit, Dr. Richards performs a gentle lap exam while your child sits comfortably on your lap, helping them feel safe and secure right from the start.

For kiddos who feel a little nervous, we offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) to help them relax and feel at ease during their appointment. Contact us today with any questions.

Pediatric Services We Offer

Our team provides a full range of children's dental services, including:

• Fillings
• Stainless Steel Crowns
• Extractions
• Routine Cleanings

We know a dental office can feel overwhelming at first, so we go the extra mile to create a fun, calming environment where your child feels cared for, understood, and even excited to come back.

How to Know If Your Child Needs Dental Care

As a parent, it’s important to stay in tune with your child’s oral health. If you notice any of the following, it might be time for a visit:

• First tooth has appeared
• Complaints of tooth pain or sensitivity
• Struggles with brushing or flossing
• Discoloration or spots on their teeth
• Frequent thumb-sucking or pacifier use
• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Bleeding gums or bad breath
• Shyness about smiling

If any of these sound familiar, give us a call. We're here to help you navigate your child’s dental needs with confidence and support.

Why Start Dental Visits Early?

Building healthy habits early makes a world of difference. At Enrich Dental, we believe early dental care is key to setting your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here’s why it matters:

• Helps prevent tooth decay and gum issues
• Catches dental concerns early
• Builds strong oral hygiene routines
• Monitors jaw and tooth development
• Encourages healthy speech patterns
• Reduces dental anxiety later in life
• Supports good nutrition and overall health

When you choose services at Enrich Dental, you’re giving your child the tools and care they need for long-term dental wellness.
