At Kids Tooth Team in South Austin, our focus is on keeping kids healthy, happy, and cavity-free from the start. With a warm, welcoming team and a child-friendly environment, we make preventive dental care feel easy and even fun. Our South Austin families know they can count on us to protect their child’s smile with every visit.
Preventive dental care isn’t just about avoiding cavities—it’s about creating strong, confident habits that last a lifetime. With consistent checkups and early screenings, we can stop issues before they begin and guide your child’s oral development as they grow.
Our South Austin team emphasizes education, comfort, and empowerment during every visit. We’re here to partner with you in giving your child the tools they need to stay healthy between appointments.
When your child gets used to visiting the same dental team regularly, it builds familiarity and trust. A dental home offers consistency and support, helping kids feel secure each time they come in.
We love getting to know our patients and their families. When children feel connected to their dental team, they’re more likely to relax and enjoy their visits. A strong relationship helps foster confidence and reduces anxiety over time.
Early, positive dental experiences help set the tone for how your child feels about oral care as they grow. By reinforcing good hygiene habits and building a sense of ownership over their health, we help kids carry these lessons into adolescence and adulthood.
During regular preventive visits, we keep a close eye on how your child’s smile is forming—from tooth eruption to jaw alignment. Spotting developmental concerns early allows us to recommend timely, kid-friendly solutions that can make a big difference in the long run.

We offer a full range of preventive services tailored to children of all ages and stages in South Austin.
Routine cleanings and exams are the backbone of your child’s dental care. At every visit, we remove plaque and tartar, polish their teeth, and check for any signs of cavities, gum irritation, or developmental concerns. These visits are important not just for health, but for building good hygiene habits early on.
If your child plays contact sports, a custom mouth guard is one of the best investments you can make in their smile. These guards are professionally fitted and provide superior protection compared to store-bought versions—reducing the risk of cracked, chipped, or knocked-out teeth.
Sealants are a thin, protective coating we apply to your child’s molars to help prevent cavities. These back teeth are especially vulnerable to decay due to deep grooves that can trap food and bacteria. Sealants are quick to apply and can last for years.
Fluoride naturally strengthens tooth enamel and reduces the risk of decay. We apply a concentrated fluoride varnish during your child’s visit to give their teeth an added boost of protection, especially if they’re cavity-prone.
SDF is a simple, non-invasive treatment that helps stop early-stage cavities from progressing. It’s especially helpful for very young children or those who may not be ready for traditional fillings. Best of all—it’s fast, needle-free, and drill-free.

Children are susceptible to issues like tooth decay, early gum disease, misalignment, and enamel defects. The good news? These can usually be prevented or managed effectively with early detection and ongoing preventive care.
Even though they eventually fall out, baby teeth play a key role in helping your child chew properly, speak clearly, and maintain space for adult teeth. Keeping them healthy is critical to your child’s overall development and long-term smile alignment.
We recommend bringing your child in every six months for cleanings and exams. These consistent visits allow us to catch any potential concerns early, and help keep your child’s smile on the right track as they grow.
Most children can begin brushing independently around the ages of 6 to 8, though parental supervision is still recommended. Until then, parents should help to ensure that teeth are being brushed thoroughly, especially at night before bed.
Fluoride has been proven to safely reduce decay, but if you have concerns as a parent we have alternatives that are clinically effective that we can provide.
