The Kids Dentist (Annette Ogunnowo, DDS)

The Kids Dentist, led by Dr. Annette Ogunnowo, DDS, is a dedicated pediatric dental practice located at 1230 SW Harvey St in Topeka, Kansas. Created exclusively for young patients, this clinic provides child-friendly dental care in an environment designed to make children feel comfortable, safe, and excited about visiting the dentist from an early age.

Pediatric dentistry is the full focus of Dr. Ogunnowo's practice. Understanding that early dental experiences shape a child's attitude toward oral health for life, the team emphasizes gentle, positive interactions at every appointment. Age-appropriate explanations, patient communication, and a welcoming office environment help reduce anxiety and build lasting trust between young patients and their dental care providers.

Preventive care is the cornerstone of the practice, with regular professional cleanings and comprehensive oral examinations monitoring tooth development, detecting early signs of decay, and assessing jaw growth. Fluoride treatments strengthen developing enamel and reduce cavity risk, while dental sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth—where cavities most commonly form—to create a protective barrier against bacteria and food particles.

Tooth decay treatment is available when cavities do develop, with restoration techniques adapted to the needs and comfort of young patients. Early intervention prevents small cavities from progressing to more complex restorations or premature tooth loss that can affect developing smiles.

General dentistry services ensure that every aspect of children's oral health is monitored and managed appropriately. Dr. Ogunnowo and her team are committed to helping Topeka's youngest patients build healthy dental habits and positive dental attitudes that serve them for a lifetime.
