Just Kids Dental is close by on North Central Expressway, in the same 75231 ZIP code.

A Dentist That Makes Getting Started Easy
Finding a dentist in a new city can feel like a lot: which offices take your insurance, what the first visit involves, and whether anyone will explain things clearly. We try to take that work off your plate.
When you call, our front desk checks your child’s Medicaid, CHIP, or insurance benefits before the visit. If you’d rather talk in Spanish, our team can help. If your child has never been to a dentist, that’s fine. We’ll start with a gentle checkup and tell you plainly what we see.

Dental Care for Vickery Meadow Kids, From Babies to Teens
Regular cleanings, fluoride, and sealants help stop cavities before they start.
Cavities, chipped teeth, and other dental damage sometimes need more attention. We offer tooth-colored fillings and pediatric crowns to repair and protect affected teeth.
Some children need additional support to feel comfortable during dental treatment. We offer sedation options based on their age, health, and treatment needs.
We adapt dental visits for children with sensory sensitivities, developmental differences, and communication challenges.
Thumb sucking, pacifier use, and other oral habits can affect developing teeth. We also help protect young athletes’ smiles with custom-fitted mouthguards.
Toothache, broken tooth, or an unexpected dental injury? Call us to discuss your child’s needs. We keep time for same-day urgent visits during office hours.
Your Child's First Visit
What Happens at the First Appointment
Many parents tell us they don’t know what to expect, so here is how a first visit usually goes:
- Check-in: Bring your child's Medicaid, CHIP or insurance card and a photo ID. We'll have checked the benefits already.
- Meet the team: Your child can look around, sit in the chair and ask questions. You stay with your child the whole time.
- The checkup: The dentist looks at your child's teeth and gums, and we take x-rays if they're needed.
- The cleaning: A gentle cleaning removes buildup your child's toothbrush misses.
- The plan: We tell you what we found and what, if anything, needs treatment, in plain words. Then your child picks a prize.
First-time patients under 18 can get their first cleaning, exam and x-rays for $99, however you pay. Fluoride is not included.
