About Kids Dental Care

Kids Dental Care is a dental practice on North Olive Avenue in Turlock, California. 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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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.

What does a paediatric dentist do differently?
They complete additional training focused on children — how teeth develop, how to manage anxiety and behaviour in the chair, and conditions specific to young patients. The practical difference is usually as much about handling the visit as the treatment itself.
When do children start losing baby teeth?
Usually from around age six, continuing until roughly age twelve, though the timing varies widely between children. Adult molars also come through at the back around age six without any baby tooth falling out first.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

I have been taking my kids here since they were little and although we live near Salida, I dont mind traveling to Turlock to get the proper care they need. Plus I love taking my kids here and it's the only place I would take my kids. We've been here for 8 years! They are so welcoming, friendly, and make my kids feel at ease whenever we have appointments. They have cute decorations around the office, movie screens for the kids, and they make ballon animals for the kids. I would highly recommend them!

I took my 9 year old daughter here to Kids dental care Turlock for the first time. My daughter did really well and the assistant Sandy did an exceptional job making her feel very comfortable as well as Dr. Cressman. The doctor was very thorough in explaining what was needed and also made my daughter feel very comfortable. The front office staff was very helpful and friendly they know what they are doing and I definitely would recommend this office.

I would definitely recommend them!
