Mustang parents trust us with their kids’ smiles — 700+ Google reviews.
We keep visits relaxed and positive so kids learn the dentist is no big deal.
The earlier a child starts seeing the dentist, the more natural visits feel, and the more likely healthy habits are to last into adulthood. We recommend a first visit by your child’s first birthday or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first.
Dr. Jon Barnes is a general dentist who sees patients of all ages, including children and teens. Our family scheduling options make it easy for the entire family to arrange a visit at the same time. Our team takes time to explain things in kid-friendly terms, lets children see and touch the tools, and never rushes a nervous child.
Kids can stay busy in our children’s play area while they wait.
We introduce the chair, the light and the "tooth counter" in a friendly way.
