Your Child's First Dental Visit
During your child's first dental visit, Dr. Allred and his kid-friendly staff will do everything they can to make our youngest patients feel right at home. Our team will take plenty of comfortable X-rays, images, and other photos to get a clear idea of your child's current health.
We emphasize oral health education by providing easy-to-understand explanations designed to help kids keep their teeth and gums healthy in between appointments.
Checkups and Preventive Care
Dr. Allred follows oral health guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD), advising that children are seen for preventive checkups every 6 months. If our team discovers multiple cavities or early orthodontic concerns, we may suggest more frequent appointments.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
At Allred Dental, our whole-body approach to dental care is anchored in quality prevention, but sometimes small cavities can still occur. To treat them, we use safe, effective tooth-colored dental fillings that are always mercury-free.
Dental Crowns For Children
If your child suffers an oral injury or if our team discovers decay, we may recommend a dental crown to help save the tooth. Dr. Allred always offers same-day dental crowns that are made right here in our office. This special technology eliminates the need for temporary crowns and follow-up appointments!
Tooth Extractions For Kids

Is your teen experiencing pain in the back of their mouth? Allred Dental can help. We offer preventive wisdom tooth extractions and even remove impacted wisdom teeth!
Sedation Dentistry For Children
If your child is anxious, has special healthcare needs, or simply needs extra help staying calm and comfortable, we may recommend our sedation dentistry services. Dr. Allred is a certified sedation specialist with vast experience in the discipline. Before your child's treatment, he will create a sedation plan based on their needs and health history.
