Pediatric Dentist in North Dallas
Just Kids Dental is a pediatric dental office right here in North Dallas, on North Central Expressway. We care for children and teens up to age 18, including many kids who find a regular dental office hard: children with autism, sensory sensitivities, developmental differences or anxiety. We plan each visit around your child, not the other way around.
Dental Visits That Respect Your Child's Needs
Every child responds to dental visits differently. Some are comfortable right away, while others need more time to adjust to new surroundings, sounds, and routines. We understand that, especially for children with sensory sensitivities or developmental differences, a little flexibility can make a meaningful difference.
Before the appointment, we encourage parents to share anything that may help us understand their child’s needs, preferences, and communication style. Our team can then make appropriate adjustments, such as allowing extra time, explaining each step before beginning, offering breaks, or creating a quieter setting when possible.
Meet Your Child's Pediatric Dentists
Dr Monali Patel, DDS
I believe a child’s early dental experiences can shape how they feel about oral care as they grow. I focus on making visits welcoming and enjoyable while helping young patients develop healthy habits and feel confident about their smiles.
Dr Sara Masoumi, DMD
I enjoy helping children feel safe, understood, and comfortable during dental visits. My approach focuses on building trust, encouraging healthy habits, and making each child feel more confident about caring for their teeth.

Comfort Options
When Your Child Needs More Support
For many kids, time, patience, and a familiar routine are enough. Some children need more help, especially for longer treatments like several fillings in one visit.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a mild gas your child breathes through a small mask over the nose. It helps them feel calm while they stay awake and can talk to us. It wears off within minutes after the mask comes off.
For children who need more than that, our board-certified pediatric dentists can assess whether sedation is a good option. We’ll talk through every choice with you, and nothing happens without your OK.
