Children's Dentistry
If your child has a broken, deeply decayed, or damaged tooth, the dentist may be able to save It with a dental crown.
A dental crown is a hollow replica of the damaged tooth. After the dentist treats the tooth, we can cement the crown to restore bite, aesthetics, and function.
Keeping Your Child’s Smile Healthy
Of course, it’s best not to need restorations and maintain the natural tooth’s integrity. To lower your child’s risks of needing a tooth crown or other restorations, be sure they do the following:
- Brush their teeth at least twice daily.
- Floss their teeth at least twice daily.
- See the dentist every six months.
- Avoid or lower intake of acidic and sugary foods and drinks.
- Wear a mouth guard during activities like baseball or other sports.
- Wear a nightguard if diagnosed with bruxism (teeth grinding).
- Talk to your child’s dentist if you have specific concerns.
Regular dental care and at-home vigilance lower your child's risk of needing a tooth crown or other dental restoration.

Many adults suffer from dental anxiety, so imagine how difficult it is for some children to visit the dentist. Although being nervous about going to the dentist is perfectly natural, there are some ways you can help eliminate your child’s fear and anxiety about dental visits. Here’s how.
Tips to Help Your Child Overcome Fear of the Dentist
At Norco Family Dental, we work hard to provide what we call “happy visits” for your child; we play games and reward them with stickers and prizes. As a parent, you can help your child look forward to going to the dentist by following these tips:
1. Visit the dentist at a young age so your child can get used to it and know what to expect.
2. Teach your child about the importance of oral health. Brush and floss together.
3. Give your child simple explanations about going to the dentist, and avoid using scary words. Use books and videos to help.
4. Be a role model for your child; schedule dental cleanings on the same day as your child and let them see you in the dental chair first.
5. Play dentist with your child and let them pretend to clean your teeth.
6. Use positive reinforcement to encourage your child to want to visit the dentist.
7. Ask your Greeley dental team for suggestions if you need them.

Our children's dentist in West Greeley recommends that your child should come to see us as soon as their first baby tooth emerges, and no later than their first birthday.
Getting your child acquainted with early visits to their children's dentist at Norco Family Dental allows them to acclimate and feel comfortable around the dentist, and it prevents dental anxiety from forming. Kids can feel anxious when they're unsure about their environment, which is why it's a good idea to be gentle and slow, and allow them to get used to the dental office at their own speed.
Your Child's First Visit at Norco Family Dental
Your child's first dental visit to Norco Family Dental is mainly to let them adjust and get used to the idea of oral health. We don't want to make your child to feel pressured or forced to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable, so we are gentle and take our time. We never want any of our patients of any ages to feel fear or stress.
Children's dentistry in West Greeley focuses on building confidence and preventing dental anxiety. Once we are ready to start cleaning and examining their precious teeth, your son or daughter will have already established trust with Dr. Stewart and Dr. Buffington, and won't think twice about allowing them to perform their jobs.
During each children's dental visit, we monitor your child's baby teeth and ensure there are no dental health issues, especially when their permanent teeth are gearing up for their appearance. We want to make sure your child doesn't lose any of their baby teeth prematurely, which can lead to issues once adult teeth start emerging.
