We understand that a child’s first visit to the dentist can be exciting but also a little daunting—for both child and parent! We strive to make this experience as welcoming and stress-free as possible. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff who love working with kids and are trained in making dental visits fun. We’ll give you a brief tour of our office, explain the procedures in kid-friendly language, and answer any questions you may have.
Our initial exams are thorough and tailored to the needs of children and adolescents, including patients with special needs. We use the latest dental technologies to ensure the best care, including preventive treatments like cleanings and sealants, and advanced procedures when necessary.
We accept a wide range of dental insurance plans and are committed to helping you understand and maximize your benefits. For our uninsured patients or those seeking additional financial assistance, we offer flexible payment options and our Salthouse Smiles Kids Club and will guide you through the available solutions to ensure your child receives the best care without financial stress.
At Salthouse Smiles in St. Louis, MO, we recognize our pediatric patients with special needs require individualized dental care tailored to their specific conditions. We are committed to providing this personalized care to patients of all ages, whether they are children, adolescents, or adults with special healthcare needs.
Our office is designed to ensure accessibility and comfort for all patients. Features include wheelchair-friendly spaces and special care suites that are fully equipped with the necessary tools to ensure a safe and pleasant visit for everyone.
We uphold the principle that insurance coverage should not dictate our preventative and treatment recommendations, which are always based on the latest evidence and literature. We ensure that families are fully informed of all available options and empower them to make the best decisions for their loved ones’ dental health.
