At Cox Family Dentistry, we believe that a lifetime of healthy smiles starts early. We’re proud to offer gentle, high-quality dental care for children right here in Sikeston, MO. Whether it’s your child’s first visit or a routine checkup, our team is here to make the experience positive, fun, and stress-free – for both kids and parents.
Dr. Sam Cox understands that building trust from a young age is key to long-term dental health. That’s why we take the time to listen, explain, and provide care in a calm, kid-friendly environment.
The American Dental Association recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help us monitor your child’s development, provide preventive care, and teach healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Starting early also helps reduce dental anxiety – children who have positive experiences from a young age are more likely to continue good oral care into adulthood.
Every child is different, so we tailor our care to meet each child’s unique needs and comfort level. Here’s what a typical visit includes:
Our goal is to keep things simple, comfortable, and age-appropriate. We use child-friendly language to explain what we’re doing and help kids feel involved and at ease.
Preventive care is the most important part of children’s dentistry. We offer a range of services designed to keep your child’s teeth healthy and cavity-free as they grow:
By focusing on prevention, we can help your child avoid more serious dental issues down the road – and keep dental visits a positive experience.
We’re here to support your child’s oral health at every stage of development. Some common concerns we address include:
If something seems off with your child’s smile or you just have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help.
At Cox Family Dentistry, we work with families to build lifelong oral health habits. From showing your child how to brush properly to helping them feel proud of their smile, we aim to be a partner in your child’s health and confidence.
We know that dental visits can sometimes feel intimidating – especially for younger children. That’s why we focus on patience, kindness, and a supportive approach to every appointment.
