Pediatric Dentistry

Their First Baby Tooth & Beyond

Our entire team is trained in child-friendly communication and behavior management techniques to help even the most nervous young patients feel comfortable. We tailor our care based on each child’s age, developmental stage, and personality—whether they’re coming in for their first baby tooth cleaning or preparing for adult teeth to come in.

At Cloninger and Carr Family Dentistry, we know that a lifetime of healthy smiles starts with great dental care in childhood. That’s why we offer gentle, compassionate pediatric dentistry in Spokane, WA designed to keep your child’s teeth healthy, strong, and cavity-free.

From routine cleanings to more involved procedures, our goal is to make dental visits positive, educational, and even fun—setting the foundation for excellent oral health habits that last into adulthood

Our Pediatric Dental Services

Dental Cleanings and Exams

We recommend professional cleanings and exams every six months to keep young smiles in top shape. During each visit, we remove plaque and tartar, polish the teeth, and check for signs of decay or developmental concerns. We also educate kids on brushing and flossing so they can confidently care for their teeth at home.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

If your child develops a cavity, we offer durable, tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth. Our fillings restore function and prevent further decay—without drawing attention to the repair.

Gentle Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, a tooth may need to be removed due to crowding, infection, or damage. We provide gentle extractions in a supportive setting, using child-friendly techniques to minimize discomfort and anxiety. We also provide guidance on space maintenance and follow-up care as needed.
