Pediatric Dental Services for Military Kids

From a baby's first tooth to a teen's sports mouthguard, our pediatric dental services cover every stage, including emergency pediatric dental care:

Dental Exams & Cleanings

Every six months, we check for cavities, gum issues, and growth milestones, and a professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar brushing can't. New to Barksdale? We'll review your child's records from your last duty station and pick up where their last dentist left off.

Mouthguards

Custom-fit mouthguards for young athletes, plus options for kids who grind their teeth at night (bruxism). Because ER visits are nobody's idea of a fun Friday night.

Fillings

When cavities happen (they happen!), we remove the decay and restore the tooth with durable, tooth-colored composite.

Dental Crowns

For teeth too damaged for a filling, we offer both silver and natural-looking pediatric white crowns at both locations.

Extractions

Always a last resort — but when a tooth is beyond saving or causing crowding, we make the process as gentle as possible.

Hospital Dentistry

For extensive treatment or children who need it, we provide care in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, with safety protocols at every step.

Built Around Military Family Life

Records for every PCS move.

New to Barksdale? Bring your child's dental records or tell us where you were stationed. Moving again? We'll send their records to your next dentist.

Visits that fit a deployment schedule.

When one parent is deployed, every appointment counts. Book online any time, get reminders, and use our early Wednesday appointments starting at 7:00 AM.

We go at your child's pace.

Moving means new schools, new friends, and new doctors. Our team slows down, explains every step in kid-friendly words, and never rushes a nervous child.
