About Dentistry For Children and Families
Dentistry For Children and Families is a dental practice on North Halsted Street in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, Illinois. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Dentistry for children is exceptional. Everyone here makes going to the dentist a pleasure.
Dr. Boyd came highly recommended as The Leader in airway dentistry for children and he did not disappoint. Less than a year into treatment, we have already noticed that our kids sleep better and that their smiles are even more beautiful than we could have hoped. I strongly recommend his services to the parents of a child that would benefit from improved breathing and a world class smile! Also for what it’s worth and at the risk of sounding like a humble brag…recommendation came from both my dad and sister both of whom are leading dentists in metro Detroit that have attended Dr Boyd’s lectures. He is They expert in pediatric airway health!
Dentistry for Children is amazing. Timely services, warm, and professional. Highly recommend.
The best dental practice ever! They are are always punctual with our appointments and Dr. Janet is so considerate and caring and obviously a great dentist! All the dental professionals at the practice are also amazing!
Very sweet and professional with my 3 year old! He was scared at first but they made the experience smooth and seamless. Thank you
Visit here has always been a pleasant experience. The staffs here are so friendly and accommodating for the kids. Great place. Highly recommend!
Very professional, friendly, and caring!!
I had our assessment appt today for my 6 yr old. Dr Boyd was attentive, patient, brilliant, encouraging and knowledgeable. He confirmed what my maternal instinct and months of research suspected for months but couldn’t get other providers on board with. My son felt safe, I felt seen and safe and walked out feeling hopeful. Hoping and praying the treatment, time and financial commitment pay off to correct my son’s airway restrictions.
Dr. Janet and Dr. Boyd are the best! The rest of the staff is so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!
I have been with Dr Kevin and his team for over 20 years and they provide excellent care.
We are so grateful for Dr. Kevin Boyd and his incredible expertise! He recently began treating my young daughters with palatal expanders, and the process has been so smooth from start to finish. Dr. Boyd is not only exceptionally knowledgeable, but truly a pioneer in airway-focused pediatric dentistry. His passion for helping children grow and breathe better is evident in everything he does. He takes the time to explain every step of the process, and his gentle, thoughtful approach puts both kids and parents completely at ease. It’s rare to find a clinician with such depth of understanding in facial growth, airway development, and functional dentistry. Anyone in Chicago or the surrounding areas is incredibly fortunate to have access to such world-class care right here at home. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Boyd more highly!
