About Kids Smile Dental and Orthodontics

Kids Smile Dental and Orthodontics provides dental care on East Hatch Road in Modesto, 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.

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.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

How do I stop my child getting cavities?

After reading the review by Patricia Gomez, I feel it’s important for people to know that a six-year-old child had to have CPR administered on May 1. This was reported in a public Ceres Police Dispatch recording, which stated: ‘Child receives CPR after anesthesia at Kid Smiles Dental on E Hatch Rd,’ with emergency responders dispatched for CPR in progress on a 6-year-old following anesthesia. This incident was also discussed publicly in the Ceres Community Awareness Facebook group. Full details aren’t public yet, but parents should ask thorough questions about sedation protocols and emergency preparedness. My own past experience with serious sedation complications makes me especially attentive to these reports.

Amazing. My kiddo is absolutely terrified of the dentist because of the sounds etc. The staff that filled her cavities were so sweet. They interacted with her. And the moment the dentist knew she liked LADY GAGA he immediately began singing to soothe her 🥹 she, without fight or crying, got her cavities filled. Dr Mina is magnificent! Bless his heart!!!

If I could have no stars I would. My three-year-old was seen there today to get dental work done under sedation. The check-in was good and the girl behind the desk was nice. They came out and said that she needed a couple root canals and some cavities so I gave them permission . Everything seemed to go well up until it was time to go back and get my child. My child was laying on the table with very heavy breathing and blood coming out her nose. I happen to look in her mouth and there was still pieces of stuff in her mouth, whatever they were doing there was still in there and a pool of blood in the back of her throat no gauze no nothing for it. My daughter started to wake up and she was not doing so well and her hands curled up in her back arched and crying and screaming, and the lady just looked at me and said oh she’s OK to go home. I told her like this are you kidding me? They said yes like that that’s fine. I however, did not feel like she was OK so I was holding my daughter. She didn’t have her shoes on I had to ask the lady to help me put her shoes in the bag as she stood there and waited for me to try to hold my daughter while she’s arching her back and trying to get her diaper bag and shoes and whatever stuff that they had handed me I had to ask them for help. They also just gave me like a spit rag and said oh This is for just in case she spits up. I was like there’s blood in the back of her throat. like can’t we clean that out? They just handed me the spit rag. I was able to get my daughter to the car putting her in was horrible because she was arching her back and curling her hands. And when I got her home, it just was worse until she started waking up.. I will not be going back to this Dentist ever for treatment again. Horrible experience

The quality of your work speaks for itself, and it’s clear that you take great pride in providing the best possible care. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience into one that was smooth and positive. I am genuinely grateful for your dedication and expertise, and I feel fortunate to have been in your care. With appreciation, Cesar Enriquez
